WARNING...LONG BLOG AHEAD... (but its a goody ;-)
So this past Friday was a true joy... I had the honor and pleasure to photograph my dear dear friend Rob marry his sweetheart Natalie...
I'm not even sure where to begin with this... these two have been there for me in sooo many ways... from listening to me rant, rave, cry, question, and laugh about about guys .. always having my back and making me feel better... and never sick of listening.... to... babysitting my car in LA when I fly all over the world and back... seems trivial... but you know, having smiling faces drop you at the airport.. and greet you when you return... is one thing that keeps me sane in all my travels... a "home" and friends to come back to.
Man... I just realized ... there is SOOO much I could write about ... from how Rob is a Mackinac-Boy and Natalie's a Chicago-Girl ... knowing this I desperately tried to convince them to do an island wedding (okay guys... you were right... the Casa del Mar... DEFINITELY the way to go), to ... how Nat & Rob compliment each other... they have all the important things in common... and balance each other out perfectly in every other way
The one thing I DO have to write about... is of course.. the love between these two... if I were to use three words (it started as ONE but grew) ... SWEET, LAUGHTER, and FUN..
SWEET... you should see the way these two look at each other.. .even when they are annoyed with one another... its cute... and SWEET.. and that feeling doesn't seem to last very long... as smiles seem to creep in... which brings me to...
SMILES... are you kidding me... I just went through all the pics... and I swear about every third pic is one or the other... or both.. .with their mouths wide open with laughter and smiling from cheek to cheek...
FUN!!! . . . This was the most amazingly .. . FUN wedding ever... the dancing began almost immediately and didn't stop until the minute I left (which was quite hard for me to do). One of the coolest parts... the Best Men rewrote Into the Great Wide Open by Tom Petty in relation to R & N's love story!! The entire room was laughing...
So I've covered that the wedding was touching.. .was fun ... but it was also ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! It was held at the Casa del Mar. Trisha Haner with Hidden Gardens did such a spectacular job with the flowers. Terri Castillo with Bellisimo Events made everything run smoothly . . .and was so much fun to work with.
Nat & Rob... you two make me smile... and I am thankful for both of you in my life beyond words!! May this next chapter in your journey together be filled with more laughter, more smiles, more love than ever before!
Love,
A

These photos are truly iconic. Natalie puts me in mind of a young elegant Audrey Hepburn, and Rob, Gary Cooper! The leaning-in poses, the glowing Pacific Ocean and Casa del Mar as backdrop -- all the great compositions you have created. Lots of art and beauty together. Andrea, you are very talented, and of course your subjects here are (helpfully) amazing! Lovely, lovely work.
