Andrea and Devin

Click Here to view the Debut Trailer of the wedding day.

We started the day meeting Andrea and the girls at Eric Fisher Salon where they were getting their hair done. Once the girls were ready, they headed to the Grand Chapel to finish getting ready. We had a little bit of time to take pictures of Devin with his family and the guys and Andrea with her family and bridesmaids before the ceremony began. Andrea & Devin's colors were burgandy and green with a wine theme, expressing their love for touring vineyards. The flowers were red roses and pink lilies done by Moore's Flowers. Andrea's bouquet included a small bunch of grapes and hydrangias.
As the wedding party entered the chapel and the ceremony began, Devin's uncle played the harp. The couple had two touching readings including a poem titled "Why Marriage" and one from "The Velveteen Rabbit". Once Andrea & Devin were pronounce Mr & Mrs, the guest exited the chapel and headed downstairs to the reception area while we finished up the pictures. Due to the heat & humidity, the couple chose not to go outside for pictures before heading downstairs where they were announced in by Andrea's brother who is a DJ with AMM.
The reception area was decorated with wine bottles and grape centerpieces that Andrea & Devin have collected on their travels. Dinner was served by Corporate Caters and the delicious cake with a different flavor for every layer was made the The Eaton's bakery. After dinner and slideshow, it was time for the dance to begin.
When one of the couple's friends told them what a beautiful couple they made, Devin replied with one the sweetest comments by saying, "She makes me look good!" it was obvious that Devin's statement came from his heart because he said it without hesitation. Andrea & Devin - it was such an honor to witness & document your day and love for each other. The quote on your program says it all, "Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust. Love still stands when all else has fallen" 1Corinthians 12:7-8 We don't need to tell you to have a great time in Hawaii but, we do wish you both the endurance of love!
Congratulations again!

Carla started her day at Spalon salon to have her hair and make-up done before heading to St. Mary's Cathedral where the rest of the girls where finishing getting ready. Carla & Omero's colors were platinum and pink with their ten bridesmaids wearing platinum gowns and carrying beautiful pink bouquets created by Susan's Flowers. The couple's daughter Daisy was the junior bridesmaid and wore a pink dress and carried a bouquet of pink gerber daisies.
The nuptial mass was officiated by Fr. Jerome Beat and after he announced the couple husband and wife, a mariachi band played as they exited the sanctuary. The band also played outside while the wedding guests lined the steps to blow bubbles at the couple as the made their way to the limo. After finishing the pictures in the church we headed to the Hyatt for the reception.
When we arrived at the grand eagle ballroom at the Hyatt, we were amazed by how incredible everything looked. There were amazing floral centerpieces by Susan's, a beautiful cake by Cheri's Bakery topped with a silver B, pink and platinum draped chairs with contrasting bows and a pink draped wall behind the raised head table. We were so glad that Carla & Omero had planned time for us to take outdoor pictures of them around the Hyatt. We were even able to head back outside for some sunset pictures with them after dinner.
Carla & Omero were announced into the reception by the Los Sandovalls De San Luis band. The band made all the announcements in spanish so were were grateful to one of Carla's bridesmaids who translated for us. One of the highlights of the reception was the unique way the couple started the bouquet and garter tosses. The single men & women formed "conga" type lines as the couple stood on chairs facing each other a few feet apart and being supported by their parents and maid of honor, Adele. Carla & Omero held a long ribbon that the lines ran under (the women first and then the men) as they made their way around the room and eventually ended surrounding the couple.
Carla & Omero thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your day. After 13 years together, we can only wish you many more happy years as husband and wife.
Thanks again & God Bless,
Brett & Cheryl
P. S. A special thanks to Adele & Drew for recommending us!

We started the day meeting Lisa and the girls at Edgez Salon where the girls were getting their hair done. Lisa then headed to Beau Monde Spa to have her make-up done and finally to the church, Hillside Christian Church, to finish getting ready. Lisa had gotten her Cathedral length gown from Accent Bridal and she said it was one of the reasons she was glad they chose to have a big church wedding. Lisa was so grateful to her mom and sister Tara for all the help in planning their wedding, she said she couldn't have done it without them. Lisa decided to play up her fun side by wearing red heels that matched the bridesmaids dresses.



Justin told Lisa he wanted to wear a tux instead of his Marine dress uniform since he only gets to wear a tux once, for his wedding. Justin is a recruiter for the Marines and most of his friends and groomsmen traveled a long way to come celebrate this day with them. Justin's best man, Randy Batman, was one of Jeff and Tyff's former grooms. Even some of Lisa friends traveled from a great distance to share in their day. Lisa's two sisters were the maid and matron of honor.
The church was decorated beautifully with candles lining the aisle and three large candelabras at the alter. They were all decorated with red and white roses and calla lilies by Susan's Flowers. There were candles at the front of the sanctuary in honor of their grandparents who have passed. The wedding was officiated by Lisa's aunt, Reverend Debbie Elwick, which meant a lot to Lisa and her family. Since the couple had chosen not to see each other before the ceremony, we took all the formal pictures with the couple afterward while the guests headed to the reception at Terradyne Country Club.





Once we were done with the formal pictures, we all headed to the reception where we took a few minutes for some shots with the couple and wedding party on the golf course before they were announced in. The theme at the reception was black and white polka dots with touches of red. Even the wedding cake, made by Cameo Cakes, had polka dots.
Lisa and Justin headed straight to the cake table and then on to the toasts since their guests had already eaten. Once, they finally had a chance to get a bite to eat, they made their rounds to their guests to personally thank them for coming. Then, it was time for the dance to begin and the night just flew by. It was great getting to visit with Megan and Nick, our bride and groom from a few weeks ago, and Megan's parents.
Lisa & Justin, It was such an honor to document your day despite the 100+ degree heat - you guys were great. We're sure you'll enjoy your time in the Bahamas relaxing on the beach.
