The day

The ceremony was by the pool, under a floral arch with the hills of El Cajon behind it, and the guests walked them back up the aisle in a shower of petals.

Round tables around the pool, a cake topper waiting on the table, and Luana and Charles's first dance out on the deck with everyone watching. We stole a few quiet minutes in the tall grass for portraits.
