Oh CRAP! I'm all out of paypal and credit card...just this morning in fact I was spending the last credit on the actual moon boots that N. Dynamite worn in the dance scene, and get this, they were $750. What a sad day! Do you take payment in the form of song or partial nudity? If so, I'm in! You guys, I need to be serious for one holy second...if I buy all 12 spots can you come to my house for the Lyon-shop? I've had a long week that week...(?what?) and just want to relax in this killer fort I've made out of dictionaries and floral patterned curtains. Love on! -Rog

First off, Darlene + Jerrold were such a sweet couple to work with for their engagement session, and after getting to know them, it made their wedding day feel like a breeze! They were married on May 23rd in Laguna Niguel and had a BEAUTIFUL reception that followed at The Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach.

While Justin made his way to the Hyatt Regency I met up with Darlene at her parents' house for some prep shots. The first two things I got to capture were her AMAZING designer Christian Louboutin shoes with the signature red sole and an even more AMAZING designer Monique Lhuillier wedding dress!

I was happy that Darlene had Nicole DeAnne out to work her artistry on Darlene's hair!
jd_wed002.jpgjd_wed003.jpgjd_wed004.jpgjd_wed005.jpgDarlene + Jerrold's dog Buddha, he wasn't allowed to attend the ceremony and reception so Darlene made it a point for me to take a portrait of her and him.

jd_wed006.jpgjd_wed007.jpgjd_wed008.jpgjd_wed009.jpgjd_wed010.jpgjd_wed011.jpgImmediately after the ceremony:
jd_wed012.jpgThe party bus!!! I literally could feel the vibrations on my rear-end from the bass of the music they were pumping out!
jd_wed013.jpgjd_wed014.jpgjd_wed015.jpgjd_wed016.jpg....and THIS, my friends, is how you shoot a TWENTY-THREE person wedding party!
jd_wed017.jpgjd_wed018.jpgjd_wed019.jpgjd_wed020.jpgjd_wed021.jpgjd_wed022.jpgMy favorite shot of the day!
jd_wed023.jpgjd_wed024.jpgBoth Darlene + Jerrold are avid shoe collectors. You already saw Darlene's Christian Louboutin's, but if you look close you'll also see Jerrold's Michael Jordan "Space Jams"!
jd_wed025.jpgjd_wed026.jpgjd_wed027.jpgA sweet welcome into the reception by the wedding party!

Hi Connie! I bought my shoes from the Christian Louboutin boutique in Beverly Hills. I haven't seen them in the stores since but you could try to go and see if you could special order them. Good luck!
