The Madrugas - Wedding and Beyond

I have been saving this particular entry until I got a new layout going on for my blog so we can take a good look at some big pictures! Jessica and Morgan are the prime example on why I love every aspect of my job. Since expanding my wedding territory to down here in the valley, I now have the potential to not only build lasting friendships out of my clients but the fun part is to continue to watch their lives grown and help capture moments through some photography.

I met Jessica sometime early 2008 when she booked our services for the flowers for her wedding. We spent endless amounts of time on her unique color palette since her wedding was the end of August not to be too summery and not to be too fall. Ivories, greens, chocolate brown, burnt oranges and touches of a deep pink.

They had over 300 guests attending so we tried to have some extra fun with the ceremony decor and the escort card tree. They also chose to switch up the centerpieces. One with a large low square vase and heavy votives and the other with a candle scape.

For the ceremony site, we hung long strands of orchid lei's about 12' long with flowing simple satin ribbons in ivory, sage green and chocolate brown with a crystal to weigh it down and strands of crystals for some extra bling. Then down the isle a thick scatter of petals in ivory, raspberry pink and burnt orange.



Our escort card display was a blast to make and was also possible due to such a large amount of wedding guests. We hung long sage satin ribbons from the tree and also weighed them down with a crystal. At the top of each row was a chocolate sparkly letter so the guest can all cruise around looking for their cards which were all attached with a cute copper swirly clip.

Reception





Now we flash forward to their future together and October 2009, I was able to squeeze in some maternity pictures just 2 days before the TWINS got here!





Now introducing....Piper and Holden!! We finally got to snap a few at 3 months.





And we then got the entire crew when the twins hit almost 8 months.








Thank you Madrugas for letting me capture moments in your lives!
