A wedding day can often be hectic which is not always ideal when you want a lot of time for pictures with you and your new spouse.  This is why I love the idea of “Day After” sessions.  You get to get dressed up and glamorous for one more day and really celebrate your new marriage and also take pretty pictures anywhere your heart desires :-)  In Elvira & Steve’s case, we spent the day around the Santa Monica Pier.  Elvira and Steve also brought along their adorable little flower girl Valeria to join in on the fun.  I have got to say that she was just angelic as can be and was my little sidekick the whole afternoon.

The three of them for memories sake :-)  Valeria is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!

The Pier was ultra crazy with Spring Break-ers so we got a little creative and finding some non-touristy spots :-)

Elvira is SO beautiful!

Steve is quite dashing himself…love the baby blue backdrop!

There’s nothing like a bright colored door to brighten my day :-)

So cute!

Love the wooden boardwalk!

L-O-V-E this!

The clouds were magnificent!

The next two are two of my favorites images EVER!!  The hazy sun pouring though is just…*sigh*

david | happy hearts photography: i'm guessing that under the pier spot (plus time of day) will become a new favorite :) very nice... July 27, 2011 5:27 pm
