On Sat, Ham and I had the pleasure of hanging out with the gals as they all got dolled up at the Sante Claire hotel in downtown San Jose. Maria and her team at Professional Makeup Artistry did a fantastic job of getting all the ladies looking their best and I have never seen a makeup artist taking such good care of her bride as Maria did for Esther. I can understand why she is booked so far in advance given the level of service she provides. As Maria worked her magic, we got some getting ready shots of the bridal party.Maria used an airbrush to apply the makeup. Esther said it feels so good and light. I couldn’t tell that the makeup was on there, but the result was awesome.The ladies at Professional Makeup Artistry. Lovely ladies, inside and out.Crystal by Grace bridal shoe.A more detail look.Lovely looking dress that looks even better on Esther.One of the tastiest wedding cake I have ever tasted. Chocolate with raspberry filling or white with lemon filling. Mmmmm…delicious.***Update: Nicole Ha of Nicole Florist – Floral and Event Design did the beautiful floral arrangement seen below.The talented Jennifer Skog was the official photographer of the event so I made sure to not get in her or her assistant’s way. Here is a alternate vantage point from way out in left field.Esther and Loren, we wish you both all the best and remember the sage advice your mom gave you below…

“Make each other Happy always. When you have hard time, remember, Love is patient, Love is Kind.”

May you and Loren have a lifetime of love with patience and kindness.-DH
