Wow - its all I have to say. I have such an awesome job. I mean really - how often do you show up somewhere, walk up to a group of people you don't know and have never met, and start getting hugs? I love it!
Sonia and Mitch are two of the nicest people ever - and their families and friends are just as cool! I started off the day with the girls, getting ready at Spa on the Plaza at the Portola Plaza in downtown Monterey. It was so beautiful! I would have loved to have a getting ready spot like this with my bridesmaids! They got mani's, pedi's, hair and makeup done - while sipping champagne and lounging in a beautiful suite overlooking the plaza.
This is Sonia's stunning sister Alda - can you believe those are her real eyelashes? Jealous!! She had never curled them before!
Its always a group effort to get into the dress!
Around this time Traci got to hang out with the guys in the limousine - her first ride in one! :)
Then it was off to get married!! The setting was beautiful - Sonia had wanted to get married at Lover's Point Park since she was a little girl! Such a beautiful spot!
MARRIED!!
Sometimes this is the only way to get the flower girl in the group shots... :)
I usually ask the bride - "How brave are you?" Sonia gave my favorite answer - "Very!!" So it was down to rocks we went!
Then it was off to the reception at Gilbert's Seafood Grill at Fisherman's Wharf.
Thank you both so much for trusting me to capture your amazing day. I hope the trip back to Tuscon was a safe one!
