Michelle & Otis

I had the priveledge of second shooting a wedding with Michael Norwood in Beverly Hills last month. Michelle and Otis' wedding was incredible! Greystone Mansion was exquisite with amazing grounds, the details were impeccable, the food was fun, half the guests wore hats and the dancing was off the hook! I think I got a little carried away, but there were so many fun things I wanted you to see that I just had to post a lot of pics! Thanks Michael! And thanks to Michelle & Otis!













Aren't these girlies precious!












A little rain threatened, but not for long . . . I think the umbrellas added so much!










































Iced tea and lemonade in mason jars, they served fried chicken, macaroni & cheese and collared greens for dinner . . . so fun!




















See Michael working his magic?




The parents of the groom had a big anniversary around the corner, so the bride and groom surprised them with a vow renewal ceremony in the middle of there reception! The minister walked them through vows, a kiss and a first dance. It was very sweet.


This gentleman won best dressed in my book!








Thanks again Michael, we must do this again . . . I had so much fun!

So, there is a game going around on photographers blogs, where you have to tell 8 things about yourself that other people don't know. Michael Norwood tagged me, so here it goes . . .

1. When I was about three or four my sister fed me dog poo as a joke. I got sick and she had to give me her new set of markers as consolation. It was pretty crazy.

2. I was an extra in the movie "The Adams Family Values". Yes, it is the sequal. Christina Ricci didn't like me very much, not sure why.

3. My guilty pleasure is Justin Timberlake and really hip hop in general. I went and saw him in concert this year with my friend Catalina, it was amazing.

4. I spent the first 15 years of my life in a dance studio for about 4 hours a day. Ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, I love to dance . . . and I watch "So you think you can dance" and I think to myself . . . "I could totally do that" . . . even though I really can't!

6. Confession: I have watched "You've got mail" about fifty times. It is one of the cutest movies ever made.

7. I met my husband in kindergarten. No, it wasn't love at first sight. We didn't start dating until we were 21, but I have known him my whole life. He is lovely in every way.

8. When I was 14 I auditioned for the role of Topanga on Boy Meets World, and I actually made it to call backs. Matt Sampietro likes to still call me Topanga, it's pretty funny. Thank the good Lord that didn't happen.

I now tag Jen Manuele

Avery

Time for a little Avery update. She is 21 months and growing up like crazy! I'm in love! She is so fun to be with.

Sara & James

Sara & James are precious friends and I have been awaiting this day! They will wed in October and I can't wait to shoot their wedding!

Little Georgia is such a cutie! Her baby blues are piercing!

Bridal Make-up

This is a shout out to my beautiful sister, Elisha Reynoso. She is a make-up artist and esthetician at Metropolis Body Spa and she has been beautifying brides for the last nine years. Heck, she has been beautifying me for the last nine years! She is versatile and actually listens to what you want, and yes, she can do beautiful make-up that looks natural. She is also educated in make-up for photography. So to all of you ladies out there this is my recommendation . . . call her now. She books up fast!

To see some of her work check out my last post, David & Christie. She did Christie's make-up, she also did Amy Stillwater (you can do a search for weddings on the blog).

Did I mention that she is the sweetest individual in the world?
