Philip & Lidia's Wedding

Tonight the team (Emily, Kevin & I) had a blast shooting Philip & Lidia's wedding in Santa Monica.

Philip & Lidia got married at the beautiful St. Monica's Catholic Church near the 3rd St. promenade. They had a beautiful ceremony filled with sentimental touches, prayers and songs.

Afterwords we headed off to Palisades Park with the bridal party for some fun group shots! Once we finished up it was off to the reception on the Penthouse Level at the amazing Sheraton Defina.

Both Philip & Lidia had special surprises planned for each other during the day - Philip planned to have a Star Wars grand entrance (complete with lightsabers), and Lidia planned to have some Brazillian Samba dancers perform.

Fashion Note: Lidia's stunning accessories were purchased from Saks (I just loved the vintage feel).

Some of the fabulous vendors we worked with today were:
On to the photographs! Here is a look at a few of my favorites - if you like what you see, leave a comment! Thanks!

Christine & Emily,

Both of you were FANTASTIC! After all the traditional picture taking at the church & park were done, you two really were invisible! You both blended in and were never in the way like some photographers are.

I know I speak for everyone when I say that we hope you had as much fun as we did & we CAN'T WAIT to see the pictures!

Thanks!
