2nd Photographer: Mark Jackson
So so so many things about this wedding…where to begin?? Well, first off I am SO excited to share these pictures with Amber & Theo. They put so much unique effort into their day that it really got my creative juices flowing. Fun! And most of their vendors were Wedding Hive members. As you scroll down, you will see a stunning wedding gown created and designed by Janay A. Handmade, a beautiful back dangling necklace by Scarlett Garnet Jewelry, brightly colored paper and fresh flowers by Ornamental Petal covering the stylish event space Californos and of course, photography by me. A veritable Hive-a-palooza!
There is really so much I would like to say about Amber and Theo, but I think this set of pictures says more about their amazing personalities than I can….not to mention how ridiculously adorable and photogenic they are! Take a look….
If I titled the diptych below, it would be “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, ‘SPPPDDDDPPDDSSST!!’ and Then, Bust a Move.”
So awesome that Californos gives newlyweds a brick in front of their space!
Pennies from heaven…just kidding – from their birth years.
Amber’s hand in her dad’s like that makes me want to cry like a little baby. Too sweet.
Amber and Theo, thank you so much for inviting me to document your day. I knew from our first little meeting at Starbucks that I was going to have a blast doing so, as well as make a lasting friendship out of you two! I hope you love these pictures as much as I loved creating them – - I CANNOT wait until our Day After session!!
P.S. We should totally do drinks again soon. Last night was fun. Lol.
