The last wedding of the year!  What a way to end an awesome year..Tracy & Andy had a beautiful wedding at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach.  I loved their wedding because it was filled with such emotion!  I was actually caught of guard because Andy is such a funny guy and always joking around..for example...during their first look, after they saw each other, Andy turned to me and said was I supposed to cry?  Then he said "let's do it again"..he turns around and starts balling his eyes out and kissing Tracy's hand and starts crying some more.  So, you can see why I wasn't expecting Andy to get emotional during the wedding.

However, he was actually very emotional and couldn't stop crying..so much so that his best man roasted him for it later in the toasts :-)  Not only was Andy emotional, so was Tracy, her parents, and Andy's mom..all were crying which was just so beautiful to see.  What touched me so much was during Tracy's dad's toast, he said that he didn't feel like he was losing his daughter...he was just handing the care of his daughter to Andy who had taken such good care of her thus far and he knew that Andy would continue to take good care of her for the rest of her life.  It was a beautiful moment and I'm so glad to have been a part of it!

Tracy & Andy...thanks for sharing your special day with me!  You guys have been such wonderful clients!  You have been so thoughtful throughout this year and I can't thank you enough for being so sweet!  Hope you guys have an amazing time on your honeymoon in the next coming weeks!

Now for some favorites!
