Tonnette and Randy: Murrieta California.

Randy and Tonette were married a few weeks ago in beautiful Murrieta California. They exchanged their vows on top of a hill that gave a picture perfect view of the mountains of California. They rented the prettiest mansion with a small little vineyard surrounding it. My only regret is not having enough time to capture every little spot that cried out to be photographed.

This is the second wedding I have shot in California and I know the reason why some of the top photographers come from here . It’s all about the light. The light just seems to be perfect all the time. Im perplexed. Even when the sun was high I still seemed to have perfect light. If anyone can help me understand this phenomenon I would listen. Enough of my rambling… I loved every bit of this wedding adventure.

These two perfect humans were supposed to get married in the Bahamas but the wedding got moved to California. I had talked to the bride numerous times before I finally got to meet her. She sent me an email telling me it felt like we already friends and she just knew I would make them look like movie stars ( which I think they kind of do look like movie stars, don’t you think? ) I had a feeling when I met her that she would be someone Id like to take home in my purse and keep as a friend. I was so right. Many people I meet are amazing but sometimes I come across people and I think these are my people . She is one of them. She’s kind and hospitable and leaves you with a special kind of peace. She’s extremely creative and thinks outside the normal way of thinking.. Hence the orange, steampunk, Marie Antoinette: let them eat cake, themed wedding.

Randy- he is a man of few words but he knows what he wants. He loves sports, fantasy football and he loves Tonette and their sweet doggie! Also, Randy I hope I can say this on nation blogvision.. but folks he was a clothing model .. so he’s got some moves.

The family and friends at this wedding were priceless…. To Tonettes mom :thank you for forcing us to eat. (We are usually hungry at a wedding.) Thank you for your hospitality. To Tonettes and Randy’s mom.. Thanks for being the best example of how a MOB and MOG can have a blast together. You guys looked adorable in your orange outfits and those smiles made everyone’s day!

Much love and blessings to you all! ( ps. The best mans speech was pretty rocking as well!)
