Sonja & Mike
I’ve been looking forward to this wedding for sometime. Sonja is a great friend on my studio manager Michelle. It was fun having Michelle as one of the bridesmaids. I first met Mike when I did their engagement pictures in Boston. That was a blast.
Now the wedding has finally arrived. It took place Friday at The Hyatt Huntington Beach.
She had a great team of vendors for her day. Another bonus was the fact that she also booked the photobooth for her day. It was such a hit.
She had Kendra with Prima Events coordinating. Amanda with Fantasy Floral Design doing the flowers. Peter Merry of Merry Weddings was the entertainment for the evening. He did an amazing job as always.
I LOVE the shoes
Some final touches by my favorite makeup artist Carina. She always does an amazing job.
Sonja was so excited when her flowers arrived
Time to get dressed
Sonja you look amazing
Sonja laughing it up with her sister

I love getting images of the happy grandparents,this is grandma with Sonja’s brother
Mike walking his parents down the isle.
Check out Mike watching Sonja come down the isle
I love all the great ceremony moments
This flower girl was so cute all day
Sonja was so excited all day
Off to the beach
I’m putting a bunch of great images that I got during the introduction. Peter Merry does such an amazing job during the grand entrance. He does a great job with the whole reception. In fact he wrote a book on it. It’s called The Best Wedding Reception Ever. If you’re in the planning stages of your wedding you should definitely check out his book.
Peter had everybody laughing
I had to put Sonja tossing the bouqet. She tossed it so hard that it shot over the girls right into Peter Merry’s hands.
The photobooth was busy all night

All I have to say is that I am sooo happy for Sonja and Mike!!! Congratulation to the both of you, I love you!!! The pictures are sooo beautiful. I showed them at my work and they were wondering who took such great pictures (they said they were out of the ordinary, which was the point… I love all the pictures, can’t wait to see the rest of them.
Love you Sonja Burns (Ohhh my goodness that is so weird to say) and brother-in-law!!!
