hiroko and michael were married at the stunning altadena town and country club. the sun was shining and it was very hot, but hiroko provided hand fans and water bottles for guests during the outdoor ceremony to keep everyone cool.  michael and hiroko both read such touching vows that i teared up more than once. it’s so clear that these two love each other wholly and strongly, so even though i get to see lots of ceremonies and hear different vows almost every weekend, words like the ones they shared with their families and friends keep my job fresh and sentimental.

the reception room had huge windows which let the beautiful summer light pour in and drench the guests with warmth and cheer.  guests enjoyed dinner and dancing, an awesome slideshow that michael made, and a beautiful cherry blossom themed wedding cake to honor hiroko’s japanese heritage. we loved seeing one of our favorite couples from 2008, alison and bryan (thank you for referring us)!

hiroko and michael, we loved being a part of your amazing wedding day! we hope you enjoyed your maui adventure and had the best honeymoon!
