Wheeland Wedding Wednesday: A tradition of posting one wedding photo every Wednesday. A single photo that celebrates a special wedded moment.
Weddings are known to be pressed for time. Hair and makeup always take longer than expected and with a hurried bride comes anxiety. Laura, a sweet bride, running late and upset from the start of her day hurried to the venue with tear filled eyes. She took a deep breath, touched up her makeup and into the wedding gown she went. Her mom was there, by her side. She told her what a beautiful bride she was as she helped straighten out her veil.
It was almost time for her to go see her soon-to-be husband for the first time but you could tell she was still turning inside. I stood to the side, it was quiet. Softly behind me whispered a smooth, nurturing voice. Her mom began to walk toward her singing out the notes to their favorite opera. Laura joined in and their voices intertwined. The nerves and stress of the morning melted away as they sang their spontaneous duet.

I wish my husband and I did personal vows for our wedding. It was so sweet hearing Emma + Shane’s personal promises to each other.

I’m so lucky to be this goofy girl’s mama. She is so full of energy, dancing and singing and her giggles are addictive! You’re my beautiful, wonderful, magical girl. We love you so much Cali Rae ☀️💕
This wedding was so dreamy - the soft color pallet paired so perfectly against the terracotta of Rancho Las Lomas.

Finally got this gorgeous wedding up on the blog! Justine and Caden were supposed to have their wedding at Casa Romantica in San Clemente but when the landslides closed the property for a while they were able to switch venues to the Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana Point. I’m so glad they did and were able to have such a beautiful day!
