Okay, it’s confession time. We know Heather + Chris’ wedding took place in California, which means it’s supposed to be a details feature. Which means we’re supposed to focus on… details. Obviously. But we hope you’ll forgive us once you see the couple’s portraits, taken by the super talented Mark Brooke Photographers. Aren’t they lovely? The light is just perfect, and including a post of just portraits allows us to focus on Heather’s gorgeous Francesca Pitera dress, which is technically a detail, so… I guess we’re okay! Enjoy, and hurry back for the AMAZING reception photos soon.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: I searched aimlessly through magazines, and soon realized I kept ripping out dresses by one designer, Francesca Pitera. I was sent an invitation to a one-day trunk show in Costa Mesa, and made reservations to go with my mom, Pam, and our close family friend, Renata. We got there and I tried on about 16 dresses, and narrowed it down to 2. I chose the dress I wore because I not only looked like a bride, I FELT like a bride.
Describe your wedding flowers: Beautiful!! Joni put SO much dedication and time into the flowers. I chose flowers in shades of purple and green. The arrangements ended up looking exotic and organic, yet still elegant.
