I am seriously obsessed with Liz & Ernie’s Santaluz Club Wedding. Maybe it’s because Liz and her bridesmaids carried bouquets of peonies, my absolute favorite. Maybe it’s because their gorgeous wedding took place minutes away from where I used to live in San Diego. Maybe it’s because Liz and Ernie happily wore Chinese zodiac masks with their wedding attire for my own photographic pleasure, while hot air balloons soared above them. Or maybe it’s because they had an amazing Chinese Lion Dance troupe perform for their wedding guests! Whatever the reason(s), I sure am glad they chose me to photograph their wedding!
