On Saturday I shot what I’ve affectionately referred to as the “mystery wedding” of Kim and Mel. I called it this because, until the Big Day, I hadn’t met or spoken with the bride and groom, nor had I even heard of their wedding location. Weddings like this always make me a little nervous but I knew everything would be splendid once I met the adorable Kim and her absolutely wonderful Monique Lhuillier gown! It was a lovely church ceremony, followed by a riotous send-off (I was *covered* in birdseed); next, we headed to Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank for a wild party and some delightful portraits of the bride and groom. Hope ya’ll enjoy 
To Kim and Mel: Thanks for a great day and for giving me the freedom to play! I had a blast!
delightfully,
Chenin
