Dani & Wayne :: 8-1-2014 :: Wedding in Laguna Beach

Dani and Wayne emailed me near the end of July with a special request: they needed to plan and have a wedding within a month! These two were already planning to get married at some point in the near future, but when there were complications with her work visa, Dani and Wayne needed to push up their wedding to as soon as possible. After talking and unofficially booking with us, they needed to find a venue, attire, flowers, and decorations, and invite guests, all within two weeks! After scouting around one of their favorite cities, Laguna Beach, they discovered the beautiful Crescent Bay Point Park up on a cliff overlooking the ocean and for their reception they booked the delicious Avila's Restaurant in Corona Del Mar. Once they had a date, they booked us and worked on decorations, flowers, and attire in their purple color theme. Purple was Wayne's grandmother's favorite color, so their color choice was an homage to her memory. Their ceremony was in the early afternoon so that Dani's family in Germany could view the wedding via a tablet on a tripod. After the video link was set up they were ready to go. After readings, traditional vows and personal vows, these two were officially hitched! One of our favorite parts was when the newlyweds waved to the family in Germany! Oh the wonders of technology! :D After the ceremony, we gathered everyone at the wedding for a group picture and a few pictures of the new Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, and then we headed off to the reception. While everyone was enjoying their meal at the restaurant, Wayne recognized one of the restaurant patrons as Bill Gross, a well-known financial manager and author. After talking a while and getting congratulated on his marriage, Wayne returned to the party. Everyone was later delightfully surprised to hear that Mr. Gross had picked up the tab for the entire reception! What a wonderful gift! After enjoying some delicious cupcakes and time spent socializing with their guests, Dani and Wayne went with us back to Laguna Beach to take some more portraits in the setting sun. We love this sweet and fun couple and their wedding and we are so glad we could be a part of it!

Cherie & Max :: 4/9/2022 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

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 married (again! They officially tied the knot last ye

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!

Maya & Satish :::: Engagement Session at Carbon Canyon Redwoods

Image
Like many couples these days, these two cuties met online and the rest is history! After getting engaged earlier this year, they are planning a dual wedding incorporating traditional and western celebrations which will be so unique and beautiful! For their session they wanted to incorporate their pup Cybil (the shepherd mix) as she has been a huge part of their relationship from the very beginning and two different outfits reflecting their two celebrations. We had such a blast with these three on this dark and moody day at the Carbon Canyon Redwood grove and we are so excited for what lies ahead! Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
