Lubov & Paul


Lubov and Paul had a unique day that was so perfect in every way.


BACKSTORY! These two met when Lubov had started working at Paul's family pizza shop. They had originally just been co-workers, then made their way to friends, to girlfriend-boyfriend, FIANCES and NOW husband and wife?? All because she took the job at his family's pizza shop. I could not be more obsessed with this sweet relationship. AND the pizza is.... INCREDIBLE?? Yes of course, I had to try it for myself!


This day was so much fun. They both have such incredible families, and yes, we did fit all 40 of them into one little courthouse room for them to witness the commitment Lubov and Paul made to each other. Each one of them were there because they mean so much to this couple and they ALL were there without hesitation.


After the ceremony I got to steal Paul and Lubov for a little bit before the reception dinner and we went to take portraits at the Stanford Mansion in Sacramento (if you have not been there, I would highly recommend going). As we got there, we noticed one of Lubov's glue on eyelashes had been falling off, she mentioned it to one of her friends and no more than 10 minutes later, her friend came by with eyelash glue that she had gotten from a local convivence store all last minute. Nothing describes a love from her friends more than this small gesture.


At the end of the night, we all went to Seasons 52 for dinner with their friends and family. They all had such kind words to say and once again, brought everyone to tears. Prayers and speeches filled the night as the couple was celebrated for their new marriage together.
