What a GORGEOUS day it was for a winter Newport Beach wedding! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed being a part of Racquel & David’s wedding. I’d been looking forward to this day every since we did their engagement shoot in LA just before the New Year! This wedding was super special for me after shooting Racquel’s sister Michelle’s wedding, as well as the officiant’s wedding…it felt like I was with “family” all day.  Racquel & David were simply radiant, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day. We started out at a beautiful beach house just off the Pacific, hit some rocky locations along the beach and then headed to a fabulous yacht for the ceremony and celebration. A few of my favorites…

gotta love the jimmy choos!

I think it's destiny?

Love this sweet first dance, turned my flash off.

I love this shot of the two grandmas!

I'm still not really sure what was going on here?? One of the uncles had them do this after the cake cutting. Maybe a Filipino tradition...anyone???
