I Touched a Giraffe! | Jenn & LJ

August 3, 2009

Hello!

This wedding brought back so many childhood memories of when I used to go to the Los Angeles Zoo every other weekend! Jenn and LJ tied their knot at LA Zoo. I never even knew you can host a wedding at a zoo. Since both Jenn and LJ are zoologists, hosting a wedding at LA Zoo was most fitting. The most interesting twist to this wedding story was that they were able to play with the giraffes. How cool was that?! You can see the images of the giraffes below. Enjoy!

I love the shoes. They fit perfectly with the wedding scene. =)

Once everyone got ready, we all headed to San Fernando Mission where Jenn and LJ got married. San Fernando Mission was such an eye-opener. The architecture and details of the mission were perfectly preserved even though it was founded in 1797.

After the Catholic Mass at San Fernando Mission concluded, we all drove to Los Angeles Zoo.

We had a few minutes to run around the park before the reception started.
