As Seen on Style Me Pretty: The Ultimate Wedding Blog

So I think just a few :) of our regular readers have been waiting on us to post this wedding which took place Nov 7 in Los Angeles! So here it is --- our big send off before Christmas and the Holidays because this will be the last item we blog until the new year!...Watson-Studios will be slowing down from Dec. 21 - Dec. 28 but Dan and I will both be available by email.

We gave a sneak peek of this wedding a few weeks ago but some of you may need a little background info (here are their engagement pics). This awesome wedding took place on top of the Thompson Beverly Hills Hotel (seriously 90210). And how did we end up doing this job? The bride (Robin) and I went to middle & high school together. Robin and Paul now live in L.A. Robin and I reconnected on Facebook last year and it has been SO FUN getting to know her again. Together Robin & Paul make a fun-tabulous couple, one I truly wish we could see more often. 

To set the stage --- Robin being from Tennessee and Paul from New Jersey, they had a ton of out of town guests there to help them celebrate along with all of their L.A. friends --- everyone seemed to be truly on vacation and the whole weekend was just one big party.

Alright, on to the good stuff...


Just a little fun fact --- This makeup artist was on her way to give a certain MTV reality star a facial after she finished up with Robin :)

Someone was stunningly reminiscent of Sharon Stone in Casino...(beginning of the movie, before she got all cracked out)

COLOR!! Robin loves lots of color and it really showed in her wedding details. Each groomsmen wore a different color tie and the bridesmaids had different bouquets. All of the flowers were gorgeous and at the reception they had a colorful candy and cupcake bar ---Yum!!

Not much to say, but we just love this little random shot of the first guests taking their seats :)

I am posting a lot from the ceremony because it was beautiful and beautifully backlit :)

So everything took place on the rooftop and it was perfect L.A. weather -- sunny, warm, a touch windy and just gorgeous!

 I love this - I think the two of them are having a little moment together up there and are about to bust out laughing over something.

Woo hoo!

And then there was probably really fun 80s music starting to play right about now, which made everything that much more happy and fun.

And then the sun started to set...

And there were a few speeches..

Some of them were sweet, others were funny :)

And then there were a couple traditional dances...

People were just kind of hanging out and enjoying the rooftop in different spots.

A little spontaneous kiss from Robin to her mom

So then it was dark and the city lights were spectacular.

Then everyone started to come back up from the bar area....

robin_paul_w4606web.jpg
...and started dancing. There was actually a dance-off between the New Jersey and Tennessee people. 

robin_paul_w4643web.jpg
Everyone was doing everything they could to win. I knew it was only a matter of time and at one point I actually said to Dan, "I bet you 50 bucks someone's going to be in the pool within the next 30 mins." I SWEAR 10 mins later...

robin_paul_w4682web.jpg
A guy from Tennessee jumped in, then a guy from New Jersey and then about 15 other people after that! It was really funny :)

Things pretty much winded down after the pool party but this was one wedding reception we'll never forget! Thank you Paul & Robin you guys are the best!! And Merry Christmas everyone!! The End!

All around amazing images. A lot of photographers do SOME things well. You do EVERYTHING well. Love the sense of the space you get from the LA skyline. Fantastic scene setters, candids, lens flare (esp toast shot), tilts, emotion. I'm a fan!
