Shoshana & Gabriel: The Wedding

 

 

When they dance together, it seems that the world is completely at peace.  Everything is quiet.  Calm.  From the sidelines, you can hear the faint of sound of humming.  Their eyes are closed and you can see just the hint of a smile on their lips.  I could literally watch the two of them dance all day.

Gabriel & Shoshana met while dancing the Argentine Tango.  Fitting that Gabriel is from Argentina.  And on Saturday, the tied the knot at the Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve… likely my new most favorite venue.  The space is open and absolutely beautiful.  The ceremony, performed by a friend of theirs, was one of the most touching I’ve ever heard.  He spoke about choices, that everyday we must decide to choose love.  It was perfect.

Their wedding was filled with good food, amazing toasts, fantastic music and some of the most beautiful dancing I’ve ever encountered.  I stood at the edge of dance floor, taking in the amazing evening and feeling so blessed that this is my job.  To document the relationship of a couple as fabulous as Gabriel & Shoshana.

Gabriel & Shoshana – the two of you make me so incredibly happy.  Happy to know you.  Happy to have documented you.  Happy to have witnessed your wedding.  I hope Kauai is treating you well!  Congratulations!

 

This shot is from their first look, the second Gabriel turned around to see Shoshana for the first time.  He immediately dropped to his knee and kissed her hand.  SWOON!

Kate of Kate Baker Floral Designs did an amazing job with all of the florals.

Paola of Just Chic Events put together all of the details.  She’s my friend & hands down, my most favorite coordinator on the planet.  Everything always runs so smoothly!

See what I mean about the dancing…

Shoshanas father & his band entertained for a bit.  Live music makes me so happy.
