Haleh & Itai: The Wedding

 

When Haleh & Itai look at each other, sparks fly.  Literally.  The chemistry between them is palpable.  I melt into a pile of goo because they’re so incredibly adorable together.  I adore them.  And I want them to buy a house in my neighborhood so that we can hang out with each other.  That’s how much I adore them.

They met on JDate.  It’s amazing to me the power of the Internet.  How it can bring together two people that are so incredibly perfect for each other.  Two people that were running around the same city, completely unaware of the other.  I wonder how many times they’d passed each other on the street or at a coffee shop.  How close they ever came to meeting, and silently slipped by.  Because they’re so absolutely right for each other that it would be impossible not to fall into each others’ laps at some point.  Perfect.

And on Sunday they took the next step in their relationship.  The wedding at Calamigos Equestrian was amazing.  The weather was perfect.  The light was fantastic.  The guests were fabulous. And while all this amazingness happened around them, Haleh & Itai floated in the middle with these giddy grins and beautiful kisses. 

Haleh & Itai - I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more excited for the two of you. You’re too fantastic!  I feel completely honored to have documented your day.  It was absolute perfection!   Congratulations!

All of their paper materials were created by Prim & Pixie… GORGEOUS!

While I got to hang out with the girls, getting pretty, Chris got to hang out with the boys, getting toasty.

First looks people… first looks.  So gorgeous.  So amazing.  So tear-inducing.

Smiles were permanently attached to their faces.  For the entire day.

Shirvan Designs handled all of the florals… beautifully.

This shot is all out of focus, and yet, there’s something I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE about it.

While I was getting the family together for formal shots, Chris caught this tiny moment between Haleh & Itai.  All the ruckus of family stuff and they were in their own little world.

The day flowed so smoothly and the details were put together beautifully thanks to Chantelle Louise Weddings.

There’s something so beautiful about all of the ceremony of a Jewish wedding.  The Ketubah signing is so full of meaning and such a touching moment for the families to share.

Itai put his own little twist on the garter toss.
