 Pure joy, pure love. Wendy and Carlos looked absolutely radiant surrounded by these sweet little ones in white. Flower crowns, tiny suits, and beaming smiles—this moment outside the Newport Beach Temple feels like a glimpse of heaven.

You can feel the love radiating from these two. From the way Carlos looks at Wendy to the veil-wrapped moment that could melt hearts—this is what eternal love looks like. Her smile, his joy, and that vibrant bouquet? Perfection in every frame.That bouquet! With bold blue roses, sunny yellow blooms, and delicate whites, it’s the perfect splash of vibrant joy against her classic white gown. And don’t miss that ring—pure sparkle and promise!

Could they be any cuter? Nestled in the greenery outside the temple, Wendy and Carlos look completely wrapped up in the joy of forever. The way she’s looking up at him? Total heart-melter.

Something blue? Check. Something bold? Double check! Wendy’s dazzling sapphire heels peeking out from layers of tulle are giving serious personality—and the pearl ankle straps are just the cherry on top. Standing side by side with Carlos’ classic black shoes, this photo perfectly captures the fun, flair, and forever of their big day.

A cake as vibrant and joyful as their love story! From bright blue blossoms to that golden bloom, every detail pops. And the topper? Let’s just say Wendy made sure Carlos said “Sí!”

Mini desserts, maximum cuteness! These navy and yellow cupcakes—complete with tiny bows and custom toppers—are almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

A perfect pop of royal blue paired with gold-rimmed plates and personalized favors at every seat? Yes please. This table setting is both elegant and inviting!

A feast for the eyes and the taste buds! The vibrant grilled meats and fresh salsa brought warmth, spice, and celebration to every table

Talk about a show-stopper! This full reception spread included international flavors, fresh ingredients, and so much love poured into every dish. What a celebration!

There’s something so tender about a ring ceremony following a temple sealing. As Carlos gently placed the ring on Wendy’s finger, the room filled with love, reverence, and joyful tears. A sacred promise already made eternal—now witnessed and celebrated by all those they hold dear.

Yes, Latter-day Saint weddings can include toasts—and this one was unforgettable! With Martinelli’s sparkling in hand (of course!), the bridesmaid’s words had the whole room laughing, crying, and raising their glasses in celebration. Here's to love, laughter, and an eternity together!

Cue the music and the magic! Watching Wendy and Carlos take the floor for their first dance felt like a scene straight out of a fairytale. The way they smiled at each other—completely in sync, totally in love—was the perfect start to a night full of joy, laughter, and a whole lot of dancing. Their love lit up the room… and yes, even the wall had their names glowing with happiness!

Wendy and Carlos added a deeply personal and meaningful touch to their reception: a hand-painted family tree that they added their thumbprints to. It’s not just beautiful—it’s a living memory of all the people who witnessed and supported their first day as husband and wife.

What a sweet way to begin growing a new branch of forever!

Wendy and Carlos’ wedding day was a heartfelt blend of reverence, celebration, and joy.

Thank you, Gilmore Studios, for capturing this radiant couple so perfectly—and congratulations, Wendy and Carlos! Your eternal journey is off to a stunning start.

From the Bride, Wendy:

"I had gone to a church dance and Carlos happened to be the DJ. As soon as I entered I noticed him up on the stage moving his head up and down, feeling the beat of the music. At the time he had his hair spiked up (well the few hairs he had, lol.) It wasn’t hard to notice him. Right away I asked who he was. But I couldn’t talk to him that night, so I looked him up on Facebook. :0) On Sunday, at church, I approached him and introduced myself. That Monday we had Family home evening, and we all decided to eat after, but Carlos had dance practice, so he couldn’t go. That’s when we exchanged numbers and ever since that day we have been inseparable."

The proposal!

"We had planned to go to the Newport temple and take a few pictures there since I had never been there. We asked our good friends Johanna and Chris also a couple to join us and take pictures of us. We were there taking pictures for an hour or so and I was exhausted I wanted to go home but right before the last shot as I’m staring at the temple Carlos comes from behind and I as I turn around he is one knee and pulls out this gorgeous ring and asks me to marry him. Turns out Carlos had it all planned so that our friend Chris could capture the moment. It was amazing and beautiful."
