Kikki and Patrick McCullough

I wanted to share some images from a wedding Angela Rhodes http://rhodesphotography.com and I photographed last October. Friday October 13th to be exact. Kikki is an employee of mine at Visual Photography and she was the most radiant bride I have ever seen. She truly was meant to be a bride. It's just too bad it only happens once. She was one of those brides devouring any magazine, website or bazaar she could find wedding related.

The weather forecast was rain, rain and more rain. Considering she chose a friday the 13th to get married, you would have expected it to pour. The weather was absolutely breathtaking for the wedding at the Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, California. It did pour buckets about 8:00pm during the reception once everyone was safely inside.

Kikki has a website devouted to her wedding pics, http://web.mac.com/pinkink1/iweb/Site/Welcome.html her MySpace page has multiple slideshows and in each and every picture you can just see that she was walking into this marriage 100% committed to upholding her vows.

When her Dad saw her for the first time...I am totally not kidding you...she stole his breathe away. He could not speak and actually gasped. If you know me personally, you know I am generally not a mushy person but...

The moment was magical.

That one moment defined why I love what I do. There is a quote that says (and I am going to butcher it here) but "Life isn't about the breathes you take, but the moments that take your breathe away. "

I believe this and am honored to be able to have photographed a wedding that defined this quote.

Enjoy!
