Currently editing photos from a family/maternity Long Beach session and had to share this one of Allison. She is pregnant with her first child and is absolutely radiant. More to come.
Neille & Alfred first met just outside of James' Beach restaurant. He said something snarky and the rest, as they say, is history...
From strolling along the Venice boardwalk, a magician, a fortune teller and their first chance meeting in comic form, Neille and Alfred's details truly made this intimate, DIY, 1920's carnival themed wedding unique to them and fun for everyone. Neille and Alfred are the type of people you feel instantly comfortable with. It was a joy to witness the love.
Special thanks to Laura Guerrie of Rebel Belle Weddings for getting me together with these two amazing people and making sure the day ran smoothly. She is epic.
Congrats to Neille and Alfred!
We started out with the a First Look just in front of the restaurant.
Then, we headed to the boardwalk.
Took photos with the natives.
This is the exact spot where they met. Just to the right of the restaurant.
A mother/daughter moment before the ceremony.
Neille's mom made the lovely floral centerpieces.
First dance to This Must Be the Place by Talking Heads
Alfred's dad had one of the sweetest toasts ever. He shared photos of Alfred when he was a kid. He was and is so proud of his son.
Now on to the dance party!
Even the staff at James' Beach started partying!
Thank you Neille and Alfred. I had a rad time. xo, Rachel
Ten years ago we wed.
Ten days we drove in our little Honda Fit to celebrate.
Ten decades from now I hope I still get to hold your hand as I fall asleep.
Even if we make it that far, it will never be enough.
So I choose to live.
To live in the moment.
Always, here with you.
Ten.

My husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary by exploring Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. We kicked off the trip with seeing a performance of the Love Beatles show and then headed east to get in touch with our inner John Muir. We experienced the Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Mesa Verde, Glenwood Springs cavern, a ghost tour at the haunted Stanley Hotel where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, the Denver Zombie Crawl, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon and Meteor Crater. It was our first road trip. Our first of what will hopefully be many.
