Laura and Mike’s Wedding – 3.29.08

Well, it’s back into the swing of things after a long and well deserved belated maternity leave! Since I had Tess in the middle of wedding season last year, I couldn’t exactly just take 3 months off. Once holiday orders were delivered, I vowed I would take it easy starting in January and that I did….working mabye 5 hours a day instead of the usual 12! Laura and Mike’s wedding was a great way to dive back in. They were referred to me by Red Orchid Design and I just thought they were totally cool when they came to my office. The wedding was at the Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. Laura and Mike both went to USC and Laura is now works there, so the big suprise was that they would have the USC marching band! I guess, I’ve never paid that much attention to marching band music, but they really ROCK! Mike was SOOOO suprised. When I came to the hotel to do getting ready photos, I first heard Laura in the bathroom laughing. May I say, she has the greatest laugh. You know when someone has the greatest laugh. One funny photographer thing – one of our industry leaders, Mike Colon and his wife, were attending the wedding. Mike is an amazing wedding photographer and leads many panels at the conventions, etc….I’m a big fan. Anyway, I was a little intimidated when I found out he was there but I do want to thank him for being totally cool and not watching everything we did or shooting with us. I mean, just because we are wedding photographers doesn’t mean that we can’t just sit and enjoy a wedding!
