I consider it such a privilege to photograph people who know exactly what they want. It's a privilege and it's also stressful: I better deliver!
In the case of Moni and Mike, we've been planning this day for a couple of years now... and I'm thrilled at the way that everything turned out. The day was absolutely beautiful and their ideas for the pictures were a ton of fun!
Here's a little highlights slideshow for you to enjoy:

The thing about Moni and Mike is that they're more environmentally conscious than most of us and wanted to have a wedding that had little impact on the environment, just like their lifestyles. And they wanted the pictures to reflect that as well.
They bike everywhere they can:
Don't you just love these?
We went to some of their favorite spots in the city:
Gotta love a sunny day - and beautiful subjects:
Oh, they love yoga and Mike is getting certified as a yoga teacher - he's already a Massage Therapist. Isn't that so cool?
We snuck into the English Gardens... So glad we did.
LOVE!
Then we all needed to cool off... And when popsicles aren't enough...
Then we went to visit Moni's Oma's garden - Moni planted a lot of the vegetables served at the wedding... and this garden kept some of her goodies:
She also planted and tended much of her mom's garden - and that was the venue for the wedding ceremony. She also made all of these lanterns that were all over the yard. Don't you just love it?
Haven't you always dreamed of doing your first dance like this? Thanks to the best man for helping me with the lighting...
