More on the Wedding

So as I mentioned in the last post. We lucky girls (Daisie, Sam, Me & of course Angela) got to stay in the slightly spooky but very beautiful Hilton Checkers. The room had lots of windows and mirrors.This was just the dining room!There was also a living room and a master bedroom, guest bath and master bedroom bath with a huge sunken tub and a steam shower... It was a gorgeous suite! A photographers dream with the amount of natural light flooding in. I took a bunch of pictures of Angela as she got her makeup applied.
Here is Daisie getting her hair done by the wonderfully talented JoAnn... want fabulous hair and live near Simi Valley CA? ...check this link out...http://anewtechniquesalon.com/index-2.html
As a side note I would like to mention that she did my hair for my wedding 9 year ago! She still rocks!
And the finished product... Angela was going for a 40's vibe and I think all the girls (and guys) turned out beautiful! Here is Angela...almost ready to go...
This picture is kinda funny now that I am blogging it, it almost looks like they could be related... Any how this is the awesome aforementioned hair stylist JoAnn!So here are the people she is really related to... The beautiful Carper family!Daisie looking vintage glam with a view of the historic downtown LA buildings outside our window!
Just a shot of Daisie's broach. Angela is too talented not to infuse some of her style into the wedding! She found these at the Rose Bowl and added the plumage to them. Each of us girls got earrings and a broach but they were all uniquely beautiful. The feathers were the unifying factor and they were the crown jewel to these pieces! Thank you Angela for a gift that is truly unique and wonderful!
Angela and Sam right before we left for the Marvimon.
It was so neat to walk in and see all these people putting together the room. The tables were so pretty and it was fun to see all the ideas come together so perfectly!
Angela's parents produced a bit of homemade love for all the guests! I remember high school and being jealous of all the good food that came in Angela's lunches! This time we all got a little bit of that yummy food!
Daisie's impressive artist brother created this 4x4ft work of art! It looked like it belonged on that wall!
Since I was in the ceremony and didn't get any pictures during you will have to just get an idea from this shot. The guests sat in on the chairs and benches and Angela and Mike were in the center! It was so pretty!
This shot looked better in black and white I think... Here is Angela going over the ceremony paperwork. Just a few minutes till the ceremony starts!
This made me laugh...Angela was giving fashion advice to the man marrying them.. "just unbutton that button..."
Yep that's my girl... always willing to help the fashion unfortunate, just like a super fashion hero!
Just some more of the little details that made this wedding amazing! From left to right is Angela's moms wedding dress, Mike's moms wedding dress, and Angela's grandmothers wedding dress! With pictures of the couples on their wedding days!
Here is one closer up! Isn't this a fun idea!
The food was awesome, it looked beautiful and tasted even better!
A timeless shot of the happy couple! We got to sit with them at the wedding party table! I felt like the popular girl! *laugh*
The first dance as Mr and Mrs Lanahan
I will explain this one because it didn't really turn out as well as I had hoped... This is Angela's parents watching the couple dance...
Angela on the dance floor looking hot!
And more of the beautiful bride! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day! You and Mike are great together and I love you both!
