This wedding was like no other I have attended before. Intimate and inviting, warm and personal, no details left unchecked, exactly the way they had dreamed of and prayed for. The day unfolded easily with the girls getting ready in the bridal cottage. The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is a beautiful venue for a ceremony, and Kendall and Brandon's day was no exception. Eric was shooting the guys and I concentrated on the gals. Today, I'll just be focusing on the bride and groom and try to give you some highlights of the day.
Kendall's stunning wedding gown. On the back of her gown there are three small details you wouldn't know about. She has a piece of lace from her mother's dress, her mother in law's dress, and her grandmother's dress sewn in. Three strong marriages to blend with hers.....I just loved this idea.
Kendall's super fun Betsey Johnson kicks...
Before the primping begins...
Getting tied in...
Beautiful!
Brandon sent over a gift for Kendall that just about had us all in tears. Over the course of their dating and engagement, he has written her tons of letters. She has saved them all. This day, their first day, he sent one more, in a beautiful lined antique box, so she could start saving them from the first day they were married.
The girls looking beautiful and ready to go...
The bride and her beautiful mom, Danielle.
We had a little bit of an issue getting portraits done. I forgot what "rock stars" the bride and groom become and the paparazzi guests were stalking us down...

We had to move behind the cottage to get out of sight.
Father and daughter....onto a new life.
This is what love looks like from the other side...
