Jeremy and Suzanne – Pala Mesa Wedding Photographer

Suzanne and Jeremy picked an amazing weekend to get married – my anniversary weekend! :)  They tied the knot at one of my favorite places to shoot in San Diego – Pala Mesa Resort and Golf Course!

Suzanne’s sister, Claudia, is a professional makeup artist and I loved how her eyes matched her bouquet!  Claudia was also the makeup artist for my wedding and I have known her since first grade!

I can’t even begin to describe how awesome the dancing was at this wedding!  Check out the slideshow below for more dancing photos!  It was almost all Arabic music and dancing and I loved every minute of it!  It made me want to get out and dance too!
