Lakerrrrrrs!!!! You know that Tommy and Elizabeth are serious Los Angeles Lakers fans when they choose Gold and Purple for their wedding colors! Kobe was on the invite list, but I guess he was unavailable. Definitely one of the more chill couples that I have met, Tommy and Elizabeth helped keep a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on their day by giving out lots of hugs, smiles and laughter (a little early morning Starbucks and McDonalds didn’t hurt either) . . .

Usually guys are a little conservative when I ask them to jump off of something. First time was the charm for this group . . .

OK, let’s keep the Lakers color theme going!!! The Tunrip Rose Grand Ballroom . . . from their website, “The indoor ballroom at the Grand Newport Plaza is truly a work of art. The elegant marble foyer opens to a beautiful room accented with rich floral and tapestry prints. The lighting is warm and inviting as is the large dancefloor set in the center of the room. There are even twinkle lights on the ceiling to help set the romantic mood.”


Tommy and Elizabeth set the tone for the enitre reception with their awesome and loud grand entrance. They had the entire ballroom on their feet cheering and clapping as they danced in and just kept dancing and dancing and dancing. SO much fun!


Most of the reception was loaded with about a 100 song set chosen by Tommy himself – there was NO stopping. There was NO shortage of dancing . . .

Check out Orange County DJ Bruce Battleson shredding some beats . . .

If you went to this wedding you were definitely sore the next day and you won’t forget how much fun you had. You know who you are!

I think I just stepped out of the DeLorean, I’m instantaneously taken back to March 27, 2010. The memories and excitement of that day were perfectly captured and preserved by Steve.
Steve did a great job capturing a lot of emotion. The pictures not only display how beautiful the wedding and couple were but also showed how we were all having a really great time.
The wedding was a blast- and these pictures help bring back the fun memories from the day! It’s just like being back at Tommy & Liz’s wedding!
