I honestly don’t know how to begin writing about Michelle and James’ wedding. I have truly enjoyed the time spent getting to know this sweet couple. I know I sound like a broke record but I cannot express how blessed I feel to have such kind and genuine couples to work with. The best perk of my job is the new friendships I am continually forming. Michelle and James are one of those couples. Not only are they so sweet and kind but their love for one another is bold. I couldn’t help but tear up during their ceremony (I am a big cry baby sometimes). After my quick bout of tears I immediately sparked up in laughter due to Jimmy, James’ son, who gave a little speech mixed with sincerity and humor! FYI Jimmy can dance like no other, be sure to check out his photos in the reception collage! Michelle put so so so much time and effort into doing many DIY projects for her wedding at El Adobe. It paid off, the details were out of this world!! This post is so long because I couldn’t narrow down the detail shots! The wedding was absolutely stunning due to the help and creativity of Michelle + James, Melissa from Just Lovely Events, and Kim from Art With Nature who did some outrageously beautiful floral arrangements. We took some gorgeous photos of Michelle and James at the San Juan Mission. They rocked it out in front of the lens as always. You might remember their rad vinyl record inspired engagement shoot. Congrats again Michelle + James. Wishing you nothing but a long life filled with love and laughs!
Michelle’s wedding bouquet has already been featured on The Wedding Chicks Blog with the floral recipe! Also, be sure to check out all of the amazing vendors at the end of the post.

Can;t get over Michelle’s AMAZING lashes!! And take note of the amazing shoes flower clips all the girls wore!

Most humorous photo of the day was definitely the how to tie a tie instruction photo!!
