Wedding: Ray & Julie

Julie & Ray's wedding couldn't have been more perfect. Yes, they had some awesome factors to make it amazing, but really the best part for me was getting to hang with them all day - because what could be better than seeing two friends get married? In the time since we met in October 08, they have become such great friends. Between the awesome flowers & coordination from A Stylish Soiree and their reception at the always amazing Modern Art Museum (have I mentioned that I love it there? Because I love it there. Really, its not only stunning but the staff is one of the best we've worked with) it was one amazing day.

Just to warn you, they gave me about three hours to do photos of just the two of them, so there are a lot of photos from that time on here! Love it!!!

Julie arrives and gets a little help from her Dad.

The ring bearer pillow. Love!

I love this moment.

I love this one of their niece Olivia watching as her grandpa receives communion.

After the ceremony Ray handed out lucha libre masks to his groomsmen for some of the group shots.

Love!

LOVE.

I may enlarge this one for the studio - I love it!

Love!

LOVE!

Ok, so for this one Efra and I did a little 'painting with light'. We were in a completely dark space, so instead of using flash, we left the shutter open for about 10 seconds and 'painted' them with our video light. I hand held my camera, seriously!
I like it! Lots!

First Dance.

This is all cake & sugar. Collen's Cakes did amazing in recreating Ray's favorite dish from El Chico!

They had these maracas for their guests as favors. Loved it!
(hey, Julie's a fan too!)
