I put the final touches on Virginia and David’s Wedding Slideshow while being 35,000 feet in the air–my office located at aisle 7C. There was a grandma sitting next to me in 7B. She couldn’t help but look over my shoulder. When the slideshow was complete, I looked at her and smiled. I offered her my earphones and invited her to watch the final slideshow with music. I’m happy to say, she had tears in her eyes. And so did I. I LOVE Virginia and David’s Slideshow! If you want to go straight to the slideshow, CLICK Virginia and David. Or, check out a few of my favorites first!
The wedding day took place inside the enchanting setting of Beaulieu Gardens. This was the perfect setting for Virginia and David. Their relationship carries such a beautiful elegance. The setting accentuated this elegance even more. This is one of my favorite images. I love David’s posture and how well it matches his personhood.
Robert Fountain and his team set up a private white tent where Virginia and David retreated after the ceremony. It’s Jewish tradition for the newlywed couple to spend a window of time alone together. I kept my distance, but I couldn’t help but take a few.
If you enjoyed the design for the first two days, the Asado Dinner and the Kiddush Brunch/Rehearsal Dinner, you would have gone crazy over the reception design! Oh my goodness, the setting was breathtaking. Some of my favorite parts were the paneled mirrors that Robert Fountain set up to reflect the gorgeous setting (see behind David and Virginia) and then hung chandeliers from the trees with soft, lime colored shades.
The lighting only got more dreamy as the night went on. This image was taken during the toasts. Look at those amazing grape vines. That was the ceiling for the whole dinner area. Unreal.
We have over 2500 Final Images for Virginia and David to see. And I could go on and on with all my favorites b/c there are SO MANY. But what I really want you to see is their slideshow!
Pour a glass of wine. It’s that time. Turn up the volume. We licensed the song “I Do” by Daniel Ho for this slideshow. I think it casts the perfect backdrop to this event. Exhale from your busy week, and fall in love again.

Absolutely BREATHTAKING! Once again you have warmed our heats with an amazing love story through photographs!
Absolutely stunning Me Ra! Your images are amazing and really capture the love and happiness of the wedding celebration.
These are amazing photographs, Me Ra and Brian! There are so many to comment on, but I especially love the shot of Virginia and David wrapped up in one another’s arms. The gentleness and passion you captured in the embrace conveys the affection they share without even revealing their faces.
Utterly amazing! And to see Virginia’s comment above about how much emotion she felt while the slideshow… truly awesome! As always, wonderfully done!
MERA,

Stunning! I had to watch the slideshow two times in a row, it was so beautiful!!
I got the chills…

What a beautiful couple! I absolutely love the image of them stealing a few moments in the tent right after their ceremony. I wish that all couples took the time to do that because those moments are precious and can never be recreated. You captured it beautifully, Me Ra & Brian. Hve fun in CA–can’t wait to hear the big news! 😉
These beautiful photographs are the charm.

I together with my buddies were looking through the excellent suggestions located on your web page while at once developed an awful feeling I never thanked the blog owner for those secrets. These ladies were definitely absolutely very interested to learn them and have now truly been taking advantage of those things. I appreciate you for genuinely quite kind and for considering this kind of amazing things most people are really wanting to understand about. Our honest apologies for not saying thanks to sooner.
