Alexander Wedding - Marina Del Rey

Benjamin and Evelyn got hitched over the weekend at the California Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey. It has been a long time coming for these two. Benjamin moved to California from Rhode Island to be with Evelyn. And he just recently passed the California Bar Exam and landed a job here too! Next, comes their dream home. They need a big yard for their dog, Madison (to see Madison, check out their Engagement Session). Congrats to the newly married couple.Benjamin rented this cool car for their big day from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car. This ride was so sweet. I wish it were mine. How fun their ride back to the hotel must have been.Evelyn's Mom spent 10 months hand-beading these beautiful flowers for all of their guests. What a lovely gift! The invitation that Evelyn chose was so original and genuinely hand-crafted as well.This gorgeous necklace was a Valentine's Day gift to Evelyn from Benjamin. Lucky girl!Evelyn's dress was an Alfred Angelo original.Evelyn has an infectious smile! I have tons of images with this same smile. It was hard to choose the best one for this BLOG entry. Evelyn's Dad's reaction when he saw her for the first time as a bride. This is always my most favorite moment. I get choked up every time.The girls indulged in a pedicure the night before the wedding and chose to wear the same color nail polish. Pretty!Proud Dad looking at his beautiful daughter, getting all choked up again.Evelyn was surprisingly calm in the limo prior to arriving at the venue. Her friends all gave me the low-down on how they met Evelyn, how many years they've known each other, and how they became friends. I love the way Benjamin is gazing at Evelyn. So romantic!Flowers by Flowers By Appointment Only.This work of art was created by Rosebud Cakes.
Farewell!

The Gehrls Family

The Gehrls are a really cool family of four. I had a wonderful time photographing them in their home. And what a lovely home they have! I officially need to hire whomever was their interior designer. Their beautiful daughter, Samantha is one of the best soccer players on her team. I had the priviledge of watching one of her scrimmages. She rocks! Son, Mason is a real heart breaker. He has two alter egos, one is a fireman and the other a pirate. I had a blast watching him morph from one to the other. Mason has his very own firetruck...he's a really good driver, especially in reverse. Oh, what it would be to be a kid again! Gehrls in a tickle attack.Mom and daughter look so much alike. Gorgeous!Mom getting some love from Mason.Dad torchering Mason with some more tickles.Payback from Mason.Mom and Dad showed so much affection. I love this picture!Mason hiding from me. I finally found him.Samantha's surfer-girl room. These colors are awesome! Fergalicious!Mason having fun on Dad's shoulders.And again, being thrown in the air.Nap time. I love this moment of Lacy reading to Mason.
Mason had fun pushing his firetruck back to the garage.
