Elizabeth + Phil’s Wedding: 8/8/2010 – What a great way to end an amazing three-straight weddings weekend by celebrating Elizabeth and Phil tying the knot in San Clemente. We exchanged several e-mails before meeting not too long ago. It was wonderful hearing how they met, got engaged, and the wonderful things they did with one another at the wedding, where the officiant read a “his-her” side of the story to all the guests.

And I just loved how Elizabeth’s family was quite emotional, especially her dad and sisters. Also, Phil had two brothers, both groomsmen, who each had the most adorable kids (one boy and one girl, so four total little ones!). I’m always amazed, touched, and simply feel so lucky to do what I do.

It’s just crazy (but in a very, very good way) how I can meet two people out of the blue, not knowing anything about them…to capturing their wedding day and learning so much about who they are, why they love one another, and celebrating all of that with their loved ones. Congratulations Elizabeth and Phil!
