Mike and Kristen are easily two of my favorite people ever... not only are they ridiculously nice and easy going, but they just seem to naturally bring the biggest smiles to everyone around them... it was really a pleasure to work with them :)

Here are a few of my favorites of the day... happy Monday!

We were so close to the beach we had to sneak over for a few more photos...

Sometimes I wish I was a videographer.. Kristen made so many adorable/hilarious little looks and comments at Mike throughout the whole ceremony... she's my favorite!

Mr. and Mrs!

Ruiz_Wedding_482-2web.jpgOk, their first dance was a doozy. I wish you could hear it, but instead you'll have to settle for an explanation. Mike is a big Gloria Estefan fan. Yes, I said Gloria Estefan. He really wanted to have one of her songs for their first dance. Problem is all her songs are super sad and depressing if you listen to the lyrics. At a loss, Kristen decided she would pick the song herself and surprise Mike with it. What did she do? She and the DJ scoured Gloria's top songs for little snippets of happy lyrics and made a Gloria Estefan happy lyric mash up! It was hilarious and sweet all at the same time. Mike loved it :)

And just when you thought you couldn't smile any more these two love birds gave everyone a show... and they're amazing dancers! They inspired lots of happy tears.

I love it when the bride and groom hit the dance floor together!
