Genelle and Eric were married waaaay back in March at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu.  After posting a teaser here, finally, here is the rest of their beautiful wedding!  They had a peacock color theme, and used rich jewel colors throughout their ceremony and reception.  They also had all kinds of little do-it-yourself projects, my favorite of which was the various pieces of advice handwritten on cards and placed on tables around the cocktail area.  As you can see below, Genelle was a stunning bride… and Eric isn’t too bad himself

Genelle’s Vera Wang dress was totally unique

Kate Baker Floral Design provided the awesome flowers – the bridesmaid’s bouquet was one of my favorite ever!

The recessional is always one of my favorite moments of a wedding day – the joy and excitement is so much fun to capture.

Brandon captured this photo right after the ceremony was over

The first dance – then the DJ got the party going!

The most memorable moment of the night – in Genelle’s dad’s speech, he was recounting memories from when Genelle was little, and while talking about how she was his ‘little princess,’ Eric reached from behind his seat and pulled out a plastic crown!

And a picture from the photobooth!

Another beautiful day, another wedding with Emily.  Mark and Aleah’s wedding was held at The Dana in Mission Bay.  I hadn’t been there since it was remodeled a few years ago – it’s spectacular now!  Mark and Aleah each had a child they were bringing into their marriage, so they made special efforts to include their kids in the ceremony, first dance, and general wedding activities.  Aleah was another stunning bride – just look at her!  Some more pictures below:

As part of my new blogging resolution, i’m trying to catch up with the zillion weddings that I did not blog over the past, oh, 15 months.  Starting with Hanne and Broc’s wedding, which I shot with Emily.  Hanne and Broc were married at the Bahia Hotel, with their reception bayfront.  As you can see, Hanne was an absolutely glowing, gorgeous bride.  It was a beautiful day out, with a bright blue sky, puffy clouds, the works.  Most memorably, Hanne’s family from Ecuador couldn’t attend physically… so they attended via Skype!  Her brother had the computer with the webcam set up on a special chair at the reception site, plus her mom held the laptop for toasts and cake cutting – both amusing and an excellent idea for couples when their close family is unable to make it.
