Everything about this wedding had come full circle. Laura and Chris, two Oregonians, had come back to Southern California to celebrate their wedding with family and friends. This couple were two of the most down-to-earth people you could ever meet and their celebration rightfully revolved around their close family and friends. Even the moon was full, in fact, it was a Harvest Moon. So this night of merriment, dancing and celebration, included a great band, the Rembrandts, catering and coordination from Pauline Parry of Good Gracious Events and a wonderful venue in Malibu called Saddlerock Ranch.
