After having a blast in California with these two during their Santa Monica and Venice beach engagement session, I knew the wedding would be just as great! It took place at Red Rock Hotel & Casino where Mindy an Neil got ready and had their first sight, as well as the lovely Silverstone Golf Club where they celebrated their ceremony and reception.
Mindy and Neil were both looking stunning! I loved Mindy’s La Sposa wedding gown…
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth mentioning again – I love first sights! They add such a romantic moment to the wedding day, not mention make things much more relaxed and give me and my couples the much needed time to create beautiful images. And I adore this moment shared between Mindy and Neil during their first sight. There’s just something about Neil’s embrace here… So loving and tender.
Of course, shoes need some love too…
And I have to give a shout to Mindy & Neil’s awesome bridesmaids and groomsmen. They had such a fun wedding party!
The reception came together perfectly in soft pinks, creams and gold. Floral & Event Design were by J and E Floral and Kevin Cordova rocked the lighting to add some extra ambiance.
One of my favorite details was the ’sweet’ little chocolate favors that accompanied each place setting:
To top things off, here’s a few images of the fab newlyweds enjoying a summer sunset over the beautiful Silverstone golf course.
M+N: Thanks for including me in your amazing day! I’m so happy for you two! Hope you had a fantastic honeymoon. 
A+B: Thanks for an amazing day, for being up-for-anything and rockin’ it out in the Vegas heat with me! I had so much fun with you guys. 
The song Alan played for Elena is also in his amazing album called 
The happy newlyweds…
Thanks goes to mah Jayse for second shooting! Here’s a fun photo he grabbed of us goofing off in the dressing room:
Cara made Nathaniel a skinny black tie to match with his outfit for the shoot. I loved the knit hearts – such an adorable little touch.
Nathaniel plays in several bands and collects punk and garage singles. So as a little prop he brought along an issue of his favorite magazine, Ugly Things, all about sixties garage bands. And Cara rocked a copy of Knitting for Dummies! Minus the desert backdrop, this is exactly how they can be found in their free-time - Cara with her knits and Nathaniel chillin’ with a good magazine.
Whitney looked amazing!
