happy 50th anniversary!

50 years, it sounds like a very long time, especially given that i have only been married for 3 months. but for my aunt sandy and uncle jerry, it seemed like just yesterday that they said their vows for the first time. when they asked me if i would photograph their vow renewal and reception, i was more than thrilled, since its not everyday that we get a chance to be part of something so very special.

they held the party on the cbs studio lot, at carla's cafe, and everything was decorated in 50th anniversary gold.








this woman was in my aunt's wedding 50 years ago, and they have known each other their entire life, unbelievable!




my aunt looks so beautiful!



their grand-daughter just flew in from israel that morning to be part of their celebration...




they had a traditional jewish ceremony, with huppah and yarmulkes...























a traditional cake cutting...







and some great dancing, from a touching first dance, to an exciting hava to some crazy swing...

























aunt sandy and uncle jerry, it was truly an honor to be part of your 50th anniversary wedding celebration, i can't wait for 75!

wedding: monique and byron

the day started out cool, but by the time the wedding started, it was smokin hot outside, and i am sure it was partially due to how hot monique looked in her wedding gown. monique and byron got married in corona, at a beautiful private house that was perfect for the ceremony and reception.

a few special details...










while i spent time with monique and the girls getting pictures of all the magic, james was with byron, first at the hotel and then around corona, of course making the guys look super cool...













this is quite possibly my favorite bridal party picture ever--how hot do these girls look?







monique has this sexy and intriguing smile, like we aren't quite sure what she is thinking, but we know its good...









the ceremony was touching and funny...










after the ceremony, we did some pictures with the wedding party and monique and byron...












just a nice portrait...




maybe not the most flattering of byron, but funny, and monique looks hot...





















and then it was time for the first dance, which started out nice and slow, and then went into a hip-hop medley which got all the guests going...










the party was great, from an exciting bouquet and garter belt, to the cake cutting, and more awesome dancing than we have seen at a wedding...
















monique and byron, thank you for letting us share this incredibly fun and special day with you, and we wish you the best for many years of happiness!
