On Saturday Sam traveled very early in the morning to help out her friend prepare to be married at Verandas in Manhattan Beach. \u00a0Sam was a bridesmaid so we had to go separately and meet up at the venue. \u00a0For the first two seconds I didn’t recognize Sam as she’d already changed and been fully make-up’d. \u00a0Her hair and make-up was similar to how it was done at her friend Jay’s wedding last year, but I was in the make-up room for part of that so I was prepared. \u00a0 I’m hesitant to say Sam looked beautiful, only for the reason that she always does; but the way they did the make-up, hair and outfits (and accessories) for this wedding was very elegant and classy.<\/p>\n

The entire wedding was color coordinated in yellow and fuchsia. \u00a0The wedding ceremony itself was very succinct (which is a good thing!) and lighthearted; officiated by a friend of the groom. \u00a0Unlike some weddings, this one had a more “breezy” comfortable feel; the bride and groom even surprised everyone with a taco truck visit at the end of the night, adding an interesting southern California twist.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I actually ended up lending my tripod to the groom’s uncle (the official unofficial photographer) and other than the ceremony, most of the festivities were in low light. \u00a0I will share a few of the shots I did take:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may wonder why she’s walking alone…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At this particular wedding there were ten groomsmen and six bridesmaids.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, for comedic effect, all ten groomsmen walked out one-by-one to start the ceremony, and the bridesmaids followed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These photos were taken with my hand craning up over a lot of other heads, so that’s why they may seem cut-off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The dinner was downstairs and every table had a crystal chandelier type thing with a spotlight. \u00a0It might look small in this photo, but they were actually large, probably three feet high, with a large bowl of flowers on the top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Needless to say – one of those flower bouquets is now on our dining table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were able to grab the bride for an impromptu photo on the balcony overlooking the dinner area on her way to the cake cutting ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are all the photos I have from the event – but if you’re friends with Sam or I on facebook \u00a0we’ll be getting tagged (especially Sam performing her bridesmaid duties) a lot very shortly I suspect.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Lee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
