Charla Blue Photography: hyatt huntington beach wedding

I was hoping to have already had this wedding blogged...but then life happened. I left unexpectedly to Seattle and the images had to wait. Luckily I had already posted a preview on Facebook and the couple was honeymooning. So here I am, back from Seattle, trying to get everything done, before I leave on another flight tomorrow to Texas. But let's back up a bit...

I was lucky to meet Michele thanks to my friend Georgina. (I'm going to start having to pay G a finders fee for all the awesome clients she brings me....or just photos for life :)). Michele & John's engagement session was a blast so I was not worried at all about their wedding (a passerby'er even called them 'Barbie & Ken'). Maybe I should have been...since there were 22+ members in the bridal party! This is definitely the largest wedding party I ever shot. It was a bit stressful at moments...but they were really an awesome bunch. And I might have to apologize to them all for going into "teacher mode" trying to get their attention. Being a teacher and former cheerleader is definitely serving me well in the wedding industry. But on to the wedding...

It was stunning! A perfect combination of family and friends in a beautiful setting. Michele could not have been more gorgeous! Best of wishes to a future full of your dreams, John & Michele. Thank you so much for including me in your day. It was an absolute blast!
