Emma and Brandon: Wedding in Palm Desert

The other weekend both Erin and I were honored when our good friend (and awesome photographer) Henry Chen invited us to join him for a hot wedding out in Palm Desert! Our wedding took place at the exclusive and gorgeous Ironwood Country Club. And when I say hot, I mean HOTTT, 105 degrees to be exact! Emma and Brandon we so great. I love it when LOVE overcomes obstacles that so many would use as an excuse to not be with someone! While Emma is latina, and Brandon is...well...the anti-latina! But what I thing is just absolutely beyond-awesome is that such a hurdle was never even given a second thought. The ceremony and toasts were conducted in English and Spanish so that all the guests in attendance could be a part of Emma and Brandon joining their lives and families together! Brandon and his mother gave speeches in broken Spanish to his new wives' parents, Emma's parents gave speeches in broken English to Brandon's family, and to top off what was a beautiful celebration...Brandon and Emma performed a Salsa dance they had been practicing for months ahead of time! It was such a great day, surrounded by great people!

We love our job! We get to be at a celebration every weekend amongst some of the greatest people :)

**Just to clarify, Erin was not drinking and slacking on the job, but was merely assisting during the family formals! She was the coat rack/drink holder while the family was taking pictures! I just thought she was adorable, even in blistering heat ;) **
