Kiko and Jeff.....two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. I just fell in love with them at our first meeting. They are so real and down to earth. Kiko told me, "just do your thing, we trust you." Oh yea, wanna see a photographer do the happy dance? Just say that to her!
On the wedding day, Kiko was the picture of calm. Snacking with her girlfriends in the dressing room, laughing and talking. Aside from the wedding dress, you'd never have known that this was THE day. Poor Jeff, on the other hand, was a wee bit nervous. Excited is a more accurate description, but there was definitely some nervous pacing and thumb-twiddling going on in the groom's dressing room.
At the beginning of the ceremony, something funny happened when the ring bearer panicked and refused to go up the aisle. He sat down in the doorway, put his head in his hands, and had a meltdown. No way was he going to walk in there in front of all of those people!
No matter, Kiko just smiled and walked up the aisle, sans ring-bearer. She even seemed to be enjoying the little guy's "performance." Way to go, Kiko!
The reception was a fun mixture of tradition and karaoke. Yes, karaoke. From a memorable rendition of the "I like big butts" song, some Shania Twain music, and a Japanese song sung by the DJ, the music was enjoyable and fun. Lots of people danced and had a good time.
I saw (and photographed) Kiko and Jeff taking time during the reception to reconnect and snuggle as they mingled. A stolen kiss here, a comfy hug there. I love watching couples in love. The pictures are always so sweet and unrehearsed. Just people being themselves.
Congratulations you two, and thanks for inviting me to be a part of your special day.
hugs,
Steph
