Jennifer & Ken :: 7-18-2014 :: Wedding in Long Beach

Jennifer and Ken had such a beautiful and unique wedding in so many ways! After over 10 years together they decided to hold their wedding in a special place for them: their wonderful home in Long Beach. It also happens that Jenn and Ken own their own event hosting business (Night and Day Productions), so every detail was off the charts! Because of tight quarters, their wedding was very intimate with about 30 of their closest friends and family members in attendance. Jennifer and Ken designed their own superb wedding invitations (including the custom made wax monogram with M for  their last name and a little B for Jenn's maiden name). They also didn't have a traditional bridal party: Jenn got ready with her sister, her mom and her best friends at one of her besties home right on the beach. After her mom helped her get dressed, Jenn wanted to do a first look with her girls, which was so cute! :) After everyone finished getting ready, we headed to a local bar for Jenn to have one last drink as a single gal which made for some super fun photos! Nest we all arrived and Jenn and Ken's home for the ceremony which took place in their front yard. During a ceremony filled with laughter and a few tears, Jenn and Ken read beautiful persona vows that they had written for one another. After they "sealed the deal" and were officially Mr. and Mrs., we made a quick drive over to El Dorado Park with  their newlyweds and their immediate family members for a few photos. Then we spent some time taking more photos with the bride and groom which included a trip down to the LA riverbed for some really great pictures where Jenn and Ken bused out their drinks of choice (champagne and whiskey) for a first toast as husband and wife. Next up was party time back at their house! In the backyard, their was a super cool bar set up, along with sofas, chairs, cocktail tables and lounge beds. The front yard had been converted by the NDP staff from a ceremony space to the reception space with long tables, elegant flowers and table numbers made from plates. After dinner and toasts it was time to head inside for a gorgeous cake (with cupcakes and cake pops too!) first dances and them some open dancing. The rest of the night was filled with relaxing, dancing, hookah and socializing. This was such a fun day and we are so honored to be a part of it! Our best wishes for many years of happiness for Mr. and Mrs. Miranda!

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

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!
