and it was so nice to finally meet you both! Sue and Vikas came down from the bay area and had an amazing wedding at the St. Regis in Dana Point on Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny day and a fun, fun wedding. Some of their guests came all the way from India for this wedding!!! Sue looked amazing and was so relaxed. And Vikas was a hoot – singing and dancing during the entire reception. There was so much energy and you could just tell everyone who attended was so happy for this couple. I felt so welcomed when Vikas’ mother gave me a big hug after the ceremony! That’s just the kind of family these two have. Congrats guys, thank you for having me there and for your hospitality. Have a great time in Italy! Here’s a phrase that might come in handy – Dov’è la toletta? But for now – A presto!

Sue almost ready to go. I loved her Vera Wang gown. It was so unique and such a beautiful color.

The bouquet had beautiful satin and velvet ribbons binding it together.

Right outside the elevator I saw this little bench with dramatic lights over it. I asked Sue to sit down for just a minute and we took this photo.

This shot reminds me of a locker room right before the team comes out. There was a bit of a delay and Sue sang The Waiting is the Hardest Part by Tom Petty to the bridal party!

As soon as these two saw each other the laughing began. Do you Sue take Viiiikas to be your lawfully….

A great wedding in southern California, does it get any better?

The St. Regis has a beautiful rotunda. I especially liked it cause it looks like my logo :)

I asked Vikas if he might dip Sue and this is what happened. I’m not sure I ever got the dip shot but this is even better.

Just beautiful light and a beautiful couple.

One of the restaurants in the hotel had this amazing wine cooler. I just had to stop in and use it. They were so kind to let us take a few photos there.

Vikas steals a kiss.

The first dance.

Sue dances with her father.

Vikas’ family gets DOWN to Thriller. Something tells me they had a lot of practice with this one.

Bride and groom get down too!
