Beautiful weather, fun and relaxed couple, hilarious yet committed bridal party, and supportive families. The bride was absolutely gorgeous in her beautiful wedding gown and bright, red, lipstick and the groom…well…he looked better than usual! =) Above all, the bride and groom are very special friends of my husband and I, so you know that this wedding meant SO much to us!

Let’s start off with some getting ready photos!

…and while the girls were getting ready, the boys were doing this…

yup, a straight razor shave…

Ok, enough with the boys…back to the important stuff.

Jackie had one of the most beautiful bouquets…

…and off the ceremony! The ceremony took place at the Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Redlands.

YAY! Congrats!

The wedding party hooting and hollering!

Allow me to introduce to you the groomsmen. I know…such studs. Including my husband.

I’m not usually into these old vintage looking edits, but the oh-so-famous gold frame made me do it!

On to the reception…starting with the details!

First Dance…

The father daughter dance was so cute! Jackie’s dad is adorable!

That’s all for now! Thanks for checking in, and please leave me comments!

I love outdoor weddings. I love purple and turqoise. I love relaxed, beautiful brides. I love kind, handsome grooms. I love people in love.

 

I basically enjoyed every bit of Saturday’s La Jolla wedding. How can I not? Wanna see proof?

 

Well…

 

Let me start off with a gorgeous pair of purple shoes for the bride…
