had a great wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula. I had never been there before and it is just beautiful. Of course Karen and Gareth aren’t too tough on the eyes either. We met earlier this year for their engagement photos , so I knew I was in for a really fun day. This wedding had everything a great wedding needs - a totally head over heels in love couple, two great families, a bunch of friends, a baby and apparently music from the Grease soundtrack! There was a lot of laughing and a few tears. Congrats guys! Talk to you soon.

This is the first pic I took of Karen. She looked so amazing even before her hair was done and her dress was on.

It was a beautiful ceremony. And I will admit it, I got a little misty. The Reverand read a passage that was read at my wedding last year.

The bridesmaids having a little fun while the groom and his guys were getting some photos done.

The celebration. Karen’s dress had such beautiful beadwork on the bodice and the hem.

Here I am taking advantage of those gorgeous blue eyes Karen has.

Karen dancing with her father. I love this time of the day and this photo. It really shows that no matter what Karen will always be her daddy’s little girl.

And Gareth with his mom too. He made a speech right before they danced and told mom to bring on the waterworks and she did not disappoint.

Then the party really started.

Next to Gareth this had to be the happiest man at the wedding.

And of course the baby. Every wedding needs a baby :)

What do you do if you get cake on your hubby’s shirt during the cake cutting? Well you lick it off of course.

When the light got a little better I stole the couple away from the reception for a few pics.

Karen looking lovely.

Gareth was all ready to head off to the honeymoon.

Summer loving….had me a blast.

And of course, you’re the one that I want! Something tells me these gals spent many an hour doing this.

Toward the end of the reception Karen and a few bridesmaids got a little emotional.
