{cedar and rob}

There is nothing quite like a summer wedding on the ocean in Laguna Beach. It is such a gorgeous area and the color of the water in Laguna is so sparkling and turquoise…it is like no where else. Cedar and Rob got married at Laguna Village on August 16th 2008. There were so many cool elements to this wedding, from the orange J. Crew bridesmaids dresses to the shells and ocean themed table settings, it was not only well put together but also really fun. We had a great time shooting, especially with all the crazy dancing doing on! Cedar and Rob left right after the wedding for a well deserved 3 week honeymoon in New Zealand and Indonesia….now that is doing it right!

Location/Catering/DJ: Laguna Village
Flowers: Cyndi Devynn’s Garden, 562-592-2610, cyndir@adelphia.net

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.

The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a little girl chasing the grandpa who makes her laugh the hardest.⁠
⁠
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up.
The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.⁠
⁠
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness…
It’s perfect *connection.*⁠

This moment right here: sunshine on their faces, love in the air, and a baby on the way 🌿✨
Big brother is ready (with sidekick pup, of course), and this growing crew couldn’t be sweeter.
There’s something about maternity sessions in open fields… time slows down, and the joy feels extra real.
