Tom and Geetha were married in a very intimate wedding ceremony at Estancia La Jolla.  Most of Geetha’s family lives in India so they were able to Skype to them so they could follow along the entire day!  I love technology.  The wedding ran so smoothly from start to finish, thanks to the oversight of Helena.

Meet Hannah!  She is the talent behind Modern Bouquet.  We worked together for the first time last year at Blair and Travis’ wedding.  We have a wedding coming up together later this month and I cannot wait!  She had tweeted that she was in need of a new headshot so I jumped at the chance to get to know her a little better.  We had an awesome time scouting new locations, avoiding scary animals we couldn’t see and overall breaking the law by trespassing! All in a days work, right!?

You are beautiful Hannah! So glad to have you in my life!

Blair and Travis came from Texas to exchange vows at the gorgeous Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla.  I had not met these two until the night before the wedding.  I loved how expressive Blair is and how sweetly Travis treats her.  They are so kind and gentle with each other.

Jennifer Bueno of Beauty to Be was just applying the finishing touches when I got there.

You know the day is going to be fabulous when you start the wedding with a little Vera Wang:

Looking stunning!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the property, Travis was trying to stay cool in the heat!

The fantastic Reverend Powers performed the ceremony. I love this shot of Travis watching his bride walk down the aisle

My lovely assistant Aaron took this shot.  Can you spot me?

Every wedding, one of my favorite shots is the bride and groom walking back down the aisle!  Brides, take a lesson from Blair!  Love her expressions!

I told them to give me attitude – I think they nailed it!

Some alone time

Love me some unique bling!

Funny moment after the cake cutting…Travis smeared cake on Blair’s nose!

Don’t worry, he helped get it off too!

The rockin’ band Atomic Groove kept the dance floor packed!  Highlight?  When they busted out Baby Got Back!

A huge THANK YOU to Kasey Shephard of I Do…Weddings for making the day run so smoothly!  So glad we finally got to work together!

B&T I hope you are having an amazing time in Maui!  I’ll have to look you up when I got to Dallas in the future!
