Katie and Clinton, you rock my world. Seriously.
The first time I meet these two was at Carmel Beach in Monterey. We did their engagement session and the two of them were so in love they could hardly stand it. Not only that, but they loved to play in front of the camera which makes my job easy and fun.
Now they are already married and even more into each other than on that first day I met them. And let me tell you, they really know how to throw a party!
The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Wine and Roses resort and spa in Lodi, California. This was the first time that I had been to this venue, and it was absolutely gorgeous!
I loved the moments before the girls got ready. They all shared a bottle of champagne and laughed and teared up now and then. It was so sweet. Everyone was so happy and Katie was just beaming. Everyone once and a while she would scream out, 'I am getting married!', Clinton is one lucky fella. Katie is such a beautiful bride. And so much fun to photograph! Between her and her many many ladies I was surrounded with beautiful women.
That's right Katie had nine bridesmaids. Nine! I loved it! They were so funny with their matching EVERYTHING. They had matching pink flasks, tissues, bags and sandals. They were a wonderful group to photograph and it was awesome to be a part of the day.
We get so wrapped up in 'the kiss'. And yes, the kiss is of course and important part of the ceremony. But my favorite part is not the kiss. My favorite part is just after the kiss. The part where he looks at her and says, 'you are my wife'. Yup. That is most definitely my favorite part.
Now, hands down my most favorite part of the evening was when Katie started taring up the dance floor. Elite Entertainment provided the music for the evening and when Michael Jackson came on Katie busted out some moves that I didn't realize she had in her. Oh man. I love my job.
Katie and Clinton, you are amazing! I had such great time photographing your wedding, I am so happy for the two of you! Congratulations!!!

I wish these two a long happy life together.
