Joel and Sonia Rojas Wedding September 4, 2010

This was so special to me.  I woke up that morning with butterflies in my stomach knowing that someone's special day was in my hands.  I have to say that I was nervous yet excited and confident.  I just love Joel and Sonia.  I did their engagment shoot a couple of months ago and had such a good time with them which meant that I had a bit of ease going into the wedding with regard to fitting in to their day.  Let me say that I did not expect the day to be so incredible.  It was a very big wedding in Morgan Hill, California.  We met at the hotel first thing in the morning so that we could shoot the detail shots and Sonia and her maid of honor, Claudia, getting ready.  This was FUN!  Love the detail shots.  After we finished there, Stacey, my second shooter, and I went out scouting (on our lunch break) for a close by location for some Bride and Groom shots after the ceremony but before the reception.  Stacey new of a local winery that she thought I might like.  I loved it and was so glad that we went there.  The pictures from the winery (not sure of the name but I think it was Los Chelles.. or something close to that) are awesome.  After that, we headed back to the reception for a fun night of about 4000 photos.  I think I over shot... LOL!  Anyway, what a great experience and I feel so confident that I will be able to shot any wedding with out nerves in the future.  Thank you Joel and Sonia for choosing me to capture this special day for you.  HUGS, Lauri
