Cyber Moving Day... Come Check Out the New Blog!

We're no strangers to moving.

In fact, I've (Gavin) moved over 15 times in my life. Even stranger still, all of those moves have taken place within a 25 mile radius! looong story...

This move, however, required no boxes, no packing tape, and no Rent-a-Wreck moving vans! SCORE!

After months and months of design, re-design, bug fixin's and thanks to Ross and his team over at Flosites, Erin and I are SUPER excited about the release of our brand new blog!!

Never in a million years would we have thought we'd be moving blogs so soon. But we've been so humbled at what this past year has brought, and feel that this new medium for displaying our amazing couples will better allow us to provide an experience that is uniquely us and all about them!

Of the thousands upon thousands of people who have visited our blog this past year we cannot thank you enough for your comments, support, and encouragement! We invite you now to join us in a new chapter as we blast into 2010!

All of our work (and play) can now be seen at www.gavinwadephotoblog.com

See you in a click.


Blessings,
Gavin and Erin Wade

Disneyland Hotel Wedding: Sara and Noam's Fairytale Wedding!

What can we say about Sara and Noam except that their entire story has been a fairytale! And there would be no other more perfect place to get married than at Disneyland!

They met online...talked incessantly until they were able to meet, and have been inseparable since! *hmm....where have I heard that story before? Haha...oh yeah...right here!*

To be with these two for any amount of time is to know that love can find you when you least expect it, and when you find the right person....you just know! It hits you, and you wonder how you've lived your life for so long without that person at your side. Noam was in Florida...Sara was in California, and yet they found each other. Never letting the thousands of miles that separated them phase them, they closed the gap within months when Noam moved out to California! *This guy knew he'd found his wife!*

It wasn't long before Disneyland became their favorite place in the world to spend time together! And Noam, being the stud that he is, knew there was only ONE place where he could propose to Sara....under the castle....during the fireworks! It involved crowds parting...them alone on the bridge....and a HUGE crowd watching and cheering as Noam got down on one knee and asked Sara to be his wife :)

Their gorgeous ceremony and reception took place at the famous Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim California, and little did they know, but a couple big-eared surprise guests crashed the wedding...but I don't think they minded ;)

I have to say, narrowing down the images we wanted to share was agonizing...but we finally picked them!

Sara and Noam, thank you so much for trusting us, honoring us, and allowing us to capture what was undeniably a marriage that was destined to be; may this be the start of happily ever after for you both!!

Orange County Engagement: Rochelle and Norman

"I LOVE how he looks at her!" Erin said as we were going through Rochelle and Norman's photos, "he's so happy with her, it's like he has everything he's ever wanted!"

Guys, you can relate with me on this one. When you've found the love of your life it's like you are king of the world. It's amazing what even a word from our significant other can do for us...it's like we could wrestle a grizzly bear...and win...because she makes a comment about how strong you are because you opened that pickle jar. Or how they laugh at your lame jokes and make you feel like Dane Cook has got nothing on you. It's the feeling of having someone on your "team" always...and you're the hunky quarterback.

It's been said that behind every great man is a great woman, and visa versa. For every puzzle there always remains a last piece that must be put into place before it is complete. We all can attest to the power of having the unconditional support of the one we love; we are just wired to be that way!

Ladies, be your boyfriend's... fiancé's...husband's biggest cheerleader no matter what; whether we admit it or not, it makes us fee like we can fly. And fellas be your significant other's BIGGEST fan in all things, you are a team! :)

I felt like all we needed were pom poms during Rochelle and Norman's engagement session; we can't wait for these two to become an unstoppable team as they get married this weekend. We are going to be cheering from the peanut gallery :)

We started off at The Lab in Costa Mesa and then headed down to the Newport Beach pier for the sunset...can you feel the love?!
