| John and I have been looking forward to this wedding all year! Not only did this wonderful wedding take place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, but it was the wedding of two of our dearest friends, Chris & Tara. Follow me while I share with you some pictures and some memories from our favorite moments. We arrived on a Friday evening and got all settled into our Hotel, Melia Cabo Real. The next morning we met up with the gang for a quick rehearsal at Casa Del Mar. The plan for that evening was to go to the welcome dinner held at Poncho's right in downtown Cabo. The dinner was fabulous, including lobster tail and steak or a platter of steak, chicken and ribs. The food was to die for! The evening was amazing with the mariachi band to serenade us all and the bar was overflowing with shots of tequila! It was a great night. A few images to help paint the picture.      Sunday all of the guys went out to play golf while us girls sat back and relaxed by the pool taking turns getting a massage. Ahh! John got some great shots of the guys playing golf, however as relaxed as I was, I didn't manage to pick up the camera much that day. Here are a few of the guys golfing.          Monday was upon us. Tara & Chris' big day. It was so great to be there to capture our dear friends' big day. Tara looked so amazing... her beauty, beyond words. Chris, not doing so bad himself, was a dapper match to his gorgeous bride. Tara's sister and best friend Carly took on the role of Maid of Honor while Chris' best friend David proudly stood next to Chris as best man. I don't know if words can really describe how precious and stunning their ceremony was, but it too was breathtaking. Tara's Dad Larry, walked his eldest daughter down the isle (surely fighting back some tears, or not) to the man who was taking his little girl. It was one of those moments you could call bitter sweet. As everyone knows, Chris is an outstanding individual and to give his daughter to such a guy, makes this moment a little bit easier... but I'm sure not much. :) During the ceremony sister, Carly sung John Legends "I Will Stay With You" played by guitarist and good friend Lee. Lets just say that John and I weren't the only ones on that beach with tears rushing down our cheek. :) All of the guests were lead to the cocktail hour by a Mexican Trio band.               We just had to take these guys to the beach for some sunset pictures, I mean, hello! We were in Mexico! Check these out.     The reception as also held on the beach and let me tell ya, it was one heck of a party! Usually when shooting a wedding, John and I have a great time, but it's all behind the camera. This wedding was a little different. :) Although John is the one who captured the majority of the reception pictures, he still found time to have a great time with our wonderful friends. It was so great to see such a large # of family and friends, travel all the way to Mexico to share in such a monumental event.   Chris & Tara, you are loved and adored by many! Thank you both so very much for not only allowing us to capture your day, but to be a part of your lives. We truly do cherish you friendship. A million congratulations to you both. We know that a lifetime of love and happiness is awaiting you both. We love you!
