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!

Gordon + Hank :: 4/8/23 :: Wedding in Pioneer Town

G+H had the most magical day in the most magical of places— Rimrock Ranch in Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley! The weather was literally perfect and every detail was thoughtful and intentional and executed flawlessly by Katie at Best Day Ever Events! We started with the two grooms taking photo all over the property and even with one of the horses, Ranger. Next, it was time for guest arrival and ceremony where their guests were first greeted by singing from one of their favorite performers, Leslie Page. As the guests began to sample cocktails from Your Little Local and take their seats, each guest was given a red, woven bracelet. Once everyone was seated, the officiant Lori Kahn explained that the grooms wished their guests to infuse their love and positive energy into their bracelets and place them on their wrists. The two grooms walked down the aisle together, followed by some readings and personal vows. When the vows were concluded— Gordon had set up a surprise for Hank! When cued with the

Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana,  where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where  the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony.  Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun deta
