Diane & Alex :: 5-17-2014 :: Wedding in Northridge

What a beautiful day it was for Diane and Alex! These two wed at a private residence in beautiful Northridge. The invitations we designed for Diane and Alex set the tone for the day: a romantic, beautifully-lit evening with pink as the color of the day! We started out with Diane getting ready on location in the upstairs master bedroom. Diane loves bows (she has a tattoo of a bracelet and bow!), so her jewelry had a cute bow theme. After Diane had donned her beautiful dress and veil, she and Alex said a prayer with their families and the officiant. As she walked down the aisle both Diane and Alex shed a tear or two of happiness between the large smiles; it was SO sweet! After some fun moments, laughter, exchange of rings and prayer, these two were married! Their first kiss was followed by much celebration and cheers of joy from their closest friends and family, who were gathered to witness their big day. After a short time taking bridal party and family photos, we took pictures all around the property with the newlyweds, from the backyard to the beautiful staircase inside the house and back outside into the setting sun. Once they had made their grand entrance into the reception, Diane and Alex went right into their first dance, the father/daughter dance, and socializing with all of their guests. After enjoying dinner everyone was delighted to toast the new Mr. and Mrs. with words of love, encouragement, and joy. When the toasts were over it was time for sweets: the candy bar was opened and the cake was cut! We ended our night with them by taking a few romantic shots under the magical strands of light over the lawn. It was such a beautiful day for such a wonderful couple. We wish them many years of joy and happiness!

Sasha + Brenden :: 6/22/24 :: Wedding in Fullerton

Image
Our first to two weddings this year and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the unseasonably warm heat!). Sasha and Brenden tied the knot at the stunning Muckenthalar Mansion , just a few miles from our home! Our day with the couple started with their first look, wedding party and couple's portraits. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time. After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, featuring a "first shot" of tequila, these two were officially official! After family photos and some detail shots it was time to party. During the reception their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances and creating a custom work of abstract art for the couple to hang in their home! Once the dance floor was opened with a giant group shot, we stole the couple away for some magical golden hour photos at the end of our time with them. A beautiful end for a stunning day!

Another postponed wedding couple that finally got to have their day! YAYYYYYY! This was the most wonderful pink wedding of my dreams and every detail was off the charts!  Their venue, Ruby Street in Highland Park,  was a perfect setting to apply all their incredible colorful touches and to have a fun, beautiful day! We started out with Cheri's details and getting ready at the venue. After Cherie had donned her incredible pink and sparkly Lazaro gown and Max was all suited up in his custom pink suit, these two shared their first look!  After some more photos around the venue and meeting up with their wedding party, it was finally time for their sweet and short ceremony. Can we talk about the DIY ribbon arch for a second? These two created it themselves and knocked it out of the park ! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, exchange of rings, a hand fasting ceremony and finally these two were officially mar...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
