malibou lakes, ca wedding photography: karla and nacho part 2

their reception was a time for celebrating for sure. 

when everyone is up on the dance floor, you know it's a good time. 

a surprise mariachi grand entrance, 

a few touching speeches,

lots of dancing,

and of course, a couple in love! 

 and then, the party started: 

 they were serenaded by a cousin, who, to my surprise, had just learned the song 2 HOURS before the ceremony! his talent was amazing!

 the party continued well after it was time for me to head home. i'm sure they enjoyed every minute of it, just look at the love they share: 

congrats again karla and nacho! 

xoxo

and as always, a huge thank you to my partner in shooting: stephanie!
