I would like to tell you how much I appreciate Emilie and Edwin, from the bottom of my heart. I did not know them until they booked me as their wedding photographer a year ago. And yet, Ricky and I were being treated as two of their honored guests on their wedding day. They are a couple with big hearts, big smiles. Two of the most loving people on earth. They are the type of people who say “thank you” for everything possible because they truly mean it. It’s amazing how far those two little words can go with me.

Even their family treated everyone like family. They were warm, caring and truly joyful. I cannot forget Edwin’s dad telling me at the reception, “Drink water. You must drink some water.” And my heart melted, right into my cup of water.

At the ceremony, there were several moments that I shed a few tears because their love for one another was overwhelming in the best possible sense of the word. My tears could not hold but rolled down my cheek as I heard those words that Edwin sang to Emilie.They had dated each other for almost a decade but their love has not faded for a single day.

My favorite part of the day was at the reception that took place at the Universal City Hilton.  Edwin’s best man honestly gave the most epic toast I have ever experienced, people were rolling. The chicken dance was no doubt highlight of the night. I was all having fun and dancing right along.

I can’t say enough about the amazing quality of Emilie and Edwin. No wonder they were so loved by everyone at their wedding. They love, because God first loved them.

Edwin and his sister. One of my favorites of the day…

Their idea to take photos in a laundromat. Everyone here was totally cute!

They have all sorts of fun ideas at their wedding. This “photo booth” was one of them…

Emilie is simply gorgeous inside out…

These two were hilarious…
