luci & ernesto: claremont wedding

“just like a star”

I think it’s only fitting that I post Luci & Ernesto’s lovely winter wedding this week. It has been raining up a storm in Los Angeles lately, and the only other time it rained here in the past several months was on Luci & Ernesto’s big day. Despite the rain, Luci & Ernesto were all smiles on their wedding day and clearly did not need the rain to bring them any good luck :). These two are so charming and perfect for one another and besides, they are both fellow Bruins! 🙂 This was my first wedding with rainy conditions and I have a new, profound respect for photographers not from sunny Southern California. Rain or shine, the show must go on and so beautifully it did :). Congrats to my favorite Bruin couple: Luci & Ernesto! Can I get an 8-clap for the newlyweds?!

A special gift Luci got for her man:

In search of dry areas, we ventured to nearby Pomona College for some great shots. I just adored Luci’s purple bouquet by Wisteria Grove!

Of course I made them go outside and of course with the UCLA umbrella-ella, ella, eh, eh, eh 🙂

And while the ladies wanted to stay dry (I don’t blame them), the fellas were a little more adventurous:

Please note that while my couple is in the rain, so am I! And David…who is not only good at holding my bags, but also my umbrella :). I kid, I kid.
