Wedding: April & Rick Part 2 {Long Beach CA Wedding Photographer}

April & Rick decided to have a Korean tea ceremony (Paebaek) before the reception.  I had never seen a Paebaek before so I was very excited.  The whole ceremony was very touching and meaningful, I'm so glad that I got to witness this special event.

I love April's choice of colors...and the decor of the reception was beautiful.

the first dance...

Congratulations April & Rick!  Best wishes to you two!!!  :-)

Wedding: April & Rick Part 1 {Newport Beach CA Wedding Photographer}

I'm so excited to share the photos of April and Rick's wedding!  You might remember them from their engagement session.  April and Rick tied the knot on August 27, 2011.  It was a hot August day but everything was lovely and smooth.  They were married in the LDS Newport Beach Temple, love this place!  I love that I got to photograph weddings quite a few times here.  I was married here in August 4 years ago, it totally reminded me my own wedding day. :-)  There're so many photos I love from this wedding, here are some of my favs:

Here comes the happy (and beautiful) couple:

Instead of flower bouquets, April decided to have each bridesmaid hold a paper fan (love this idea!). April's sister, Wendy, is an amazing artist and she painted these fans, aren't they pretty?

April looking stunning...

the must-have ring shot!
