It becomes apparent VERY quickly after you spend any time with Laurel and Jon that they have fairy tale love. The kind where little birds and hearts and ribbons follow them around. It really is something to be in the presence of that kind of emotion. I knew after shooting their engagement portraits that their wedding would be a special one.
They had an emotional and beautiful wedding at Vista West Ranch and every part of the day felt like them. It was an honor to be a part of it.
Thank you so much Laurel and Jon and I hope the next chapter in your lives is even more exciting and beautiful.
This bible belonged to Laurel’s Great, Great, great Grandmother and has been at many family weddings. Wow. 
Laurel and her father have a one of a kind relationship. It is enviable. 
Laurel is increibly photogenic. I think she’s such a classic beauty.

We shot a mini Bridal Session with Sandra to start the day.
I did zero retouching on her skin – it’s just this perfect. 
The first look – always a delight to me. 
Their bilingual night time ceremony incorporated many Mexican wedding traditions. 
The reception was decorated in shades of purple with gold accents. The lighting really helped transform the space and made it glow. 
The food looked great too. Something I love about the Four Seasons is that they will customize anything you want for your menu. 
I can honestly say that this crowd had the best time, was the best dressed and probably on the whole, the best looking group of reception guests I have ever seen. As far as I know, they might still be dancing. 2011 party goers – the standard has been set.
