Christina and Alex are married!

The wedding of Christina and Alex is really special to me because it’s the first wedding I’ve attended of a good friend [the ongoing bet between my high school friends and me is that it will be at least 3 years before anything happens with the LHS girls... haha]. Again, not the official photog, but a couple of photos to preserve the memories (all taken on my point and shoot, a little Canon SD800 that really does no justice to the beautiful colors of this wedding…) Like I said before, if I’m not explicitly hired, I let the professionals do their thing, giving professional photogs their spaceÂ makes their job a lot easier!

The details – the wedding color was mainly a peachy pink with Chinese red.. I didn’t know that they had personalized water bottles with one of the engagement photos I took for them, pretty cool! For the guests during cocktail hour there were canvases for them to paint on. There was also delicious sorbet / gelato during cocktail hour.Â The reception was a Chinese banquet (so good!) There was a menu that explained the significance of every dish… helpful, because I didn’t quite know the significance of the dishes either!

One of the groomsmen and I put together this surprise gift for the couple – a 8×12 Giclee canvas of one of the engagement photos. I LOVE being able to see my work in print, it’s sooo cool that it got displayed during cocktail hour! And yes, I get that excited

With the happy couple

Beautiful and joyous wishes to the awesome couple on the first day of a long and amazing journey!
