When you come to New Orleans, you better be ready to go big or go home! Joylynn and Tuan knew exactly what to do, and they sure did it right. From Joylynn’s exquisite dresses and Tuan’s debonair suits, to their perfectly coordinated, stylish entourage, to their vintage chic decor at the Crystal Palace Ballroom, this wedding went off with a bang and never slowed pace. Even down to the smallest detail, like the homemade boutonnieres, everything reflected Joylynn’s impeccable artistic style and grace. And whether they were kneeling at a Buddhist temple, skipping on the edge of the Mississippi River, or braving the raging dance floor, we noticed that Joylynn and Tuan could not ever leave each other’s side. We loved being part of Joylynn and Tuan’s wedding day. And we can’t wait to come back to New Orleans!

Despite the winter weather that threatened to chill us to the bone, Charity & Chris and a whole lot of their friends and family showed us an amazing time. The church overlooked the Pacific Ocean and all of La Jolla Shores. The party overlooked the bay with a perfect view of the San Diego City Skyline. Every detail, down to the candy bar and the Cartwright jersey, epitomized Charity & Chris. We always love going out with a bang at the end of each year, and we were lucky enough to spend the end of 2012 with Charity & Chris!

Dragons to the left of me…dragons to the right of me…Chinese dragons wrapping Tina and Ken in a big red bow! This was just one of the fun and unexpected moments during our day with Tina and Ken. We frolicked in the sand, we commandeered the beach front Hyatt, and we chased after Frankie (Tina and Ken’s furry little friend). And we were sad when the day ended. We miss you Tina and Ken…and Frankie too!
