♥married: rick & emily!

i knew i was going to love photographing rick and emily's wedding the moment i met them. emily is an event caterer so i immediately knew it was going to be a stunning event, but most of all i was struck by their playfulness. rick and emily surprised their friends and family at their rehearsal, on 11/11/11 at 11:11, by officially becoming man and wife!! officially wed, they continued on the next day with (as anticipated) a truly gorgeous ceremony at a private estate in arcadia. the shenanigans continued throughout the night ending with a groom in the pool!!

it has been truly a pleasure getting to know this happy couple and i wish them all the best!

here are a few of my favorites from their beautiful day!
