Real Weddings Wednesday: Presenting Sofia and Blake E. Lim
The Couple: Sofia and Blake E. Lim
Wedding Date: May 27, 2012
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: Blake and I started dating about six years ago. At the time we started dating, I had decided to go back to school to get my degree. I went back full time while maintaining my full-time job as well. For five years he picked me up at school and had dinner ready for me every night. He proposed the day of my graduation in front of my family. He is the most caring and nicest man I know.
What was the most amazing part of your day? Walking down the aisle to my husband.
What else would you like to share about your big day? It was the perfect weather. I’m from Peru and I only have two siblings here. I had many uncles and aunts that came from all over the world — Canada, Peru, Colombia, New York, Washington, Hawaii, etc. — to celebrate our happy day. Also, my wonderful grandma was able to come from Canada and my mom was here from Peru for the first time ever. Also, my in-laws gifted us with the wedding of our dreams. My husband’s grandpa who had been ill for a while made it to the wedding. He passed a couple of months after but we were so happy he made it to our wedding.
Ceremony Site, Reception Venue & Caterer: Croatian American Cultural Center
Photographer: The Studio
Cake: Ettore’s European Bakery and Restaurant
Flowers: Fresh Floral
Favors: We did a candy bar.
Wedding Dress & Bridesmaid Dresses: House of Fashion
Hair & Makeup: I Make Beautiful/Makeup by Jenifer Haupt
Invitations: Family Custom
DJ/Entertainment/Band: Fretty’s Disc Jockey & Limousine Service. He was awesome!
Drummer: Justin Barnes. This was a great way to make the wedding different.
String Quartet: Camellia String Quartet
Photo Booth: Perfect Pixel
Honeymoon location: Costa Rica
Any other of your wedding vendor(s) you’d like to call out? Rev. Bob Oshita from Sacramento Buddhist Church. My husband and I are not very religious, and Rev. Bob was perfect for us. He met with us four times prior to the wedding. He asked us to write letters to each other with specific indications. The day of the wedding he read excerpts from our letters — it was beautiful.
First Dance Song: “Lucky” by Jason Mraz
Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now? Relax and enjoy the day. All that matters are the good memories you create surrounded by your love ones.
Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance? I wish I would have asked my photographer to go around the table and take pictures with the guests.
I would like to mention that I was very lucky. All of my vendors were excellent. My DJ was so funny and kept the dance floor full the whole time. The Studio was very patient and nice and took beautiful pictures. Everybody still talks about how talented my drummer was. I can’t believe he did not have the music list prior to the wedding but he was able to play to the beat of the music. I Make Beautiful/Makeup by Jenifer Haupt was great! She even let my bridesmaid use her products. The venue was spectacular. It was ready to go at 11:00 a.m. and my wedding wasn’t until 5 p.m. Everyone said that my photo booth people were very friendly and nice. My cake was delicious. The Camellia String Quartet was beautiful. Everyone was excellent! It was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to!

Real Weddings Cover Model Contest Photo Shoot: Behind the Scenes
Have you seen Real Weddings Magazine‘s cover model contest photo shoot featuring Kristy Johnson, Kaboo Vang and Lynn Holmes in the Summer/Fall 2012 issue yet (If not, you can view it here!)?
Back in March, our three gorgeous real brides got to play dress up all day long as our Real Weddings team poked and prodded these girls at a photo shoot at The Greens Hotel in Sacramento. Featuring local gowns, local floral designers, local hair and make-up teams, fabulous accessories, and the talented husband and wife photography duo, Geoff and Lisa Bardot from The Goodness, the shoot was just amazing!
We could never pull off such a fabulous photo shoot without the hard working efforts of our dedicated team! Whether it’s steam dresses until their fingers prune, clamping dresses until their hands cramp in agony, laying in the dirt to protect a gown or burying themselves under massive amounts of tulle just to help a bride with her shoes, they’ll do just about anything to get that great shot! We hope you agree that the end result is spectacular, but it’s always fun to see what goes on “behind the scenes.”
So, without further ado, meet the cast and crew that help create the magic behind the lens in these fun behind the scenes photos by Real Weddings Magazine staffer Aaron Roseli! And, stay tuned to our blog for more “front of the camera” looks featuring our gorgeous cover model finalists.
The cover model contest photo shoot Real Weddings Magazine team members who produced this editorial feature include: Morgan Casarez, Danielle Enns, Rhonda Lou Hayden, Jamila B. Khan, Desiree Patterson, Aaron Roseli, Paris Ryan, Gloria Schroeder, Nicole Shebl, Wendy Sipple, Leah Sturgeon and Megan Wiskus.
