Real Weddings: Kathy + Sam 3.22.08

I have been so excited to show all of you this gorgeous real wedding shot by the absolutely fabulous Michael Norwood.

Kathy and Sam were married at the Turnip Rose at Grand Newport Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA.  Take a look at the spectacular setting they had to work with!

Naturally, since it’s pink week, Kathy’s color scheme is pink, white, and brown – I love how Flower Allie made it come alive with this amazing archway.  Such detailing!

The blushing bride, her beautiful gown, the shoe shot (I love getting ready pictures) and her beautiful ladies.

PINK details: These bouquets are fabulous, as is the touch of printing their monogram on the vellum for the petal toss.

She chose understated and beautiful reception decor and the lighting is impeccable.

Pink rose petals were strewn absolutely everywhere – so striking!

I adore this picture – taken during their slideshow.  Michael captured such real emotion (but the guy in the background totally makes this shot for me).

Last but not least, my favorite, the portraits.
