What can I say about Theresa and Ken? They are AWESOME! They have been so sweet thoughout this year and it was bittersweet to finally have their wedding day arrive. When I showed up at the hotel, I was blown away to see how beautiful Theresa looked and also to see her amazing dress, hot shoes, and stylish invitations. Based on these three things, I KNEW the day was going to be GREAT! Sounds funny but true :-) Theresa was staying at an AMAZING hotel...it was the perfect back drop for Theresa's portraits but there was one BIG problem..the hotel was not going to let us shoot there! This I found has been happening more and more lately so to all the brides and grooms out there, even if you rent a room at a hotel, that does not ensure that they will allow you to take pictures. So before you do anything, talk to somebody before booking to make sure you will be allowed to take pictures. Lucky for us, Theresa's amazing coordinator Janet, sweet talked the hotel into allowing us to shoot in a small part of their lobby as long as we did not display the name of the hotel in any of the pictures...AGREED!! Thanks AGAIN Janet for working your magic!! The ceremony went flawlessly..well except for one part where Ken's brother aka the best man realized mid way into the ceremony that he forgot the rings in the car! LOL..he was signaling to one of the bridesmaids to get his keys from him so she could get them. However, while she was still outside, the priest announced the ring exchange and then Ken's brother had to explain to Theresa & Ken what happened. You know how they responded? They both laughed! That's the kind of couple they are..so free and easygoing..I loved it! Their reception took place at the awesome Smogshoppe in L.A. This is such a cool venue that is fun, unique and modern. The flowers and decor were beyond fabulous and I loved their color choice of deep purple, lilac, and violet. The linens and chairs were the perfect touch and brought everything together wonderfully! Theresa & Ken..you guys rock! Thanks for always being so sweet and for making us feel like guests at your wedding. I hope you guys are having an amazing time on your honeymoon right now! Now for some favorites..beware...lots of details pics! I loved their letterpressed invites..letterpess is my ABSOLUTE favorite!
