Leilanie and Galen got married on June 21st, 2008. Although we were in the midst of a heat wave, Leilanie and Galen somehow kept their cool all day. We started the day in Carlsbad where Leilanie and her bridesmaids got ready. Livi came out to second shoot with me on this special occasion.

I really like this image of Leilanie and the girls.

Galen lookin’ good.

…and the posse.

What a cutie.












After the ceremony at the church, we all headed back to Galen’s house in Irvine for their tea ceremony. Here is one of the gifts from Galen’s mom given to Leilanie.

Then some marriage advices to follow.

The big entrance.

A beautiful and touching moment between Leilanie and her father during a toast.

Father & daughter’s dance.

Then midway through a slow song, they broke into a swing number. It was great!

Another one of my favorites.

Leilanie had this do-you-know-what-I-am-thinking-look in her eyes.

Then she proceeded to show Galen.

Congratulation guys! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you, your family and friends.

I absolutely adore that shot of her and her parents entering the church, and that last shot is awesome, too!
Ditto the shot with her and her parents entering the church – gave me the chills. Absolutely love the picture of the little boys playing with the hand fans =)
Yah I agree. The picture with the bride and the parents walking in is a classic.
OMG!!! Thanks so much for those teaser photos! They look amazing especially the one of my parents and I at the church doors and the one of Galen and I’s silhouette. Amazing! Completely amazing!
