Tina + Armando’s Wedding

Friday was a beautiful day for a wedding in Studio City.  I had the great pleasure of joining Tina and Armando with their families at Sportsman Lodge for a outdoor ceremony followed by reception.  Here’s some of my favorite images.  Friends and family may see all the wedding images HERE.

Tina arrived at the site and got ready in her bridal suite.  I had plenty of time to get lots of detail shots before she put on her dress.

Kim Williams with Enchanted Florist did an amazing job on all the flowers!  When Tina saw her bouquet, she loved the beaded crystal buttons going down the ribbons that held the stems together.  Nice to see her appreciation for the little details.  Her bouquet was a gathering of white orchids and calla lilies and the brides maids carried a colorful spring mix of pinks, purples, green, and white.

The guys hanging out before the ceremony… The groomsmen wore purple ties and Armando wore a white tie.

As guests entered the ceremony, they were given a little purple baggie with a stone inside.  During the ceremony, everyone rubbed warm thoughts and well wishes for Tina and Armando.  Afterwards, they placed the stones in a bowl for Tina and Armando to carry the happy thoughts into their married life.

We did have a few moments in between group shots to get these beautiful pictures of the newlyweds.

On the guest sign in table, they chose to frame their favorite engagement picture from the Griffith Observatory!
