First off, Darlene + Jerrold were such a sweet couple to work with for their engagement session, and after getting to know them, it made their wedding day feel like a breeze! They were married on May 23rd in Laguna Niguel and had a beautiful reception that followed at The Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach.

While Justin made his way to the Hyatt Regency, I met up with Darlene at her parents' house for some prep shots. The first two things I got to capture were her amazing Christian Louboutin shoes, with the signature red sole, and an even more amazing Monique Lhuillier wedding dress!

I was happy that Darlene had Nicole DeAnne out to work her artistry on Darlene's hair!

Darlene + Jerrold's dog Buddha, he wasn't allowed to attend the ceremony and reception so Darlene made it a point for me to take a portrait of her and him.

Immediately after the ceremony:

The party bus!!! I literally could feel the vibrations on my rear-end from the bass of the music they were pumping out!

….and this, my friends, is how you shoot a twenty-three person wedding party!

My favorite shot of the day!

Both Darlene + Jerrold are avid shoe collectors. You already saw Darlene's Christian Louboutin's, but if you look close you'll also see Jerrold's Michael Jordan “Space Jams”!

A sweet welcome into the reception by the wedding party!
