Today is a good Monday, yes it is! I know I’ve been posting a lot of wedding teasers lately so I thought it’s about time for the real deal! And a good wedding post it will be, I promise you that. I’ve posted several times about Amanda and Paul and now it’s time to show you their big day. It started with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, which was a blast (I LOVE tea ceremonies!). Amanda did a solo on the Chinese Harp and BLEW MY MIND! Seriously one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a LONG TIME. She rocked it, it was amazing (don’t worry, I included a picture below). After the tea ceremony we headed over to Coyote Hills Country Club in Fullerton for the second ceremony of the day and the reception. I loved this venue, and you’ll see why below. Some of you know just how much I love green, and there was lots of it at this place….I was in green heaven.
This wedding went by so smoothly, everything was on time, no drama, lots of love… safe to say that it was a success. ALSO, guests were dancing fools (in the most positive sense of course) which always makes for a fabulous reception! Thank you Amanda and Paul for being such a joy to work with, and absolutely gorgeous in front of that camera. Being a part of your wedding was truly a blessing! Can’t wait for that Trash the Dress session!!!!!!!
I love Chinese traditional wedding attire….such beautiful colors.
love it
Amanda blowing us all away with her solo, Paul was a good back up with that flute…great job Paul! 
Amanda’s parents had this huge squash growing in their backyard, like 6 feet long huge, definitely picture worthy!
Even though we took more traditional shots of the bouquet too, I thought I’d post a slightly different perspective. I love the green!
Such a beautiful veil, I died, yes, I did.
Oh, and I died here too…cuteness overload.
GREEN! YES!
Green AND bubbles! Double YES!
So happy, I love it.
First dance awesomeness!
Congrats you two! May every day of your life together be even happier than the day we have documented here. Many blessings!
I remember these two from their engagement pics !!! Rach, as a result of following your blog, I feel like I know all these Cali newlyweds 
haha – but seriously, I don’t even know which are more stunning, Amanda and Paul’s color or black and white shots…I just don’t know! These photos are so artistic, yet so classic … quite an attractive looking couple too Quit your day job already, I think this is your calling!!!
so beautiful! I love the ones with the chinese parasols. and (the country girl that I am) the one on the bridge.
I think I’m gonna cry! We love you guys…thanks for capturing how happy we are together.

Amanda,
You look stunning! To think that I missed this great event and it was in my back yard. Oh! Paul you look good too but not as good as your wife (ha ha). Congratulations to both of you.
