September 4th Wedding

Shannon and Mark 

This was definitely one of the high end weddings that I got to experience so far! There were secret service guys walking around, a live band all night, a very GORGEOUS view from the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes overlooking the ocean. Getting there was definitely difficult, but, when haven't I had a hard time getting to a venue other than those right by the Studio. I, of course, ended up in San Pedro...opposite the direction I needed to be. But I made it!!! I passed sooo many beautiful estates and was able to enjoy the view on my way to the Terranea Resort...once I finally got there :) 

But FIRST!! Food for the soul :)

This was definitely a beautiful venue for a very beautiful reception! The band was great, the food was fantastic! But most importantly, the Bride and Groom were very happy and looked very in love all night :) I love my job!
