I was brimming with excitement for this wedding. Overflowing. I’m always excited for weddings, but this one was super special to me. See, I never really get to be involved in the planning process. Typically I arrive at the venue and have no idea what to expect. But this wedding was different. See, the grooms sister is Paola of Just Chic Events and she brought me up to date on all of the amazing things that they were planning. I was with her when she bought the brooches. It was like getting little sneak peeks on a regular basis.
So, when I arrived at The Reef in Long Beach it wasn’t absolutely brand new to me. It was amazing to see the months and months of hard work between Geraldine, Danny & Paola come to fruition. And it was absolutely beautiful. They created an amazing atmosphere with some incredible details. It was the perfect backdrop for what would be an amazing party.
And it was fun. Incredibly fun. My job is always fun, but this was working with some incredible friends. Jessie, Paolas regular assistant made sure that the day ran super smoothly. Joe from Todays The Day Videography (and my own wedding videographer!) shot the video. Flowers on Mars handled the absolutely stunning florals. It was also one of the first times I knew multiple guests. So fun to watch them have so much fun!
It was perfect. A couple, so incredibly in love with each other, so incredibly happy to finally be married to one another. They never left each others’ sides. Giggly. Happy. In love.
Geraldine & Danny – Thank you so much for inviting me the be a part of this incredibly evening. It could not have been more perfect. I hope the beaches are treating you well! Congratulations!
I love love love her Maggie Sottero gown. The one shoulder strap was to.die.for.
Chris caught this next shot while Geraldine put on her shoes and I love it. Girls & shoes.
