Kelli Dave 0182 Kelli + Dave

There are some weddings that I can recall everything so crystal clear. Mostly because of the type of people, their relationship with me and the miscellaneous personal touches that they have in their weddings. This one is definitely one of those weddings. Great people, great families, friends, and lots of personalized things ranging from the peepee-face (I have the pictures but would not disclose the person :P), to a surprise Jai-Ho dance (from The Slumdog Millionaire). Kelli + Dave used to work in the film industry so this really means a lot to them.

The wedding became complete when the Oregon Ducks won the game that night (they are all HUGE ducks fans)

My friend, Ed Atrero shot with me on this one.

Venue: The Calamigos Ranch, Malibu
