Scarlett & Danny :: 12-13-14 :: Wedding in Long Beach

Scarlett and Danny's day was so fun and unique in so many ways! When they were planning wedding dates over a year ago, they happened to land on December 13 not realizing that the full date, 12-13-14, would be that last time we would have a sequential date in a long time! A lot of things were done non-traditionally: they used the AppyCouple App/Website to send out their "invitations," the bride wore a pink dress, the flower girls were teenagers, we took bridal party photos in a coffee shop (complete with bets being places on an epic arm wrestling battle) and these two said their vows after dark in an indoor evening ceremony. We had such a great time photographing around their amazing venue, The Ebell in Long Beach and all around the surrounding areas including back alleys and the aforementioned coffee shop, Lord Windsor. The venue has an amazing bridal suite where Scarlett and her girls got ready and once Scarlett got into her dress, she was so excited, all she wanted to do was twirl! It was so awesome! Scarlett and her girls got into some shenanigans while getting ready and we were all laughing hysterically while we were taking some of these shots! :) After Scarlett and Danny had their first look we took their bridal party photos, some with one of the many amazing vintage-style couches that The Ebell have available for their couples. After family portraits we explored the exteriors of The Ebell with Scarlett and Danny taking some time to relax and enjoy taking some romantic couples shots. I even made another chalkboard sign, echoing the one I made for their engagement session, and I was so excited to take pictures of it! Once the sun had set there was some downtime before the ceremony and Scarlett took advantage of the time to quickly change out of her dress and have a little cat-nap so she could party late into the night! The ceremony was short and sweet and included a hilarious moment where Scarlett vowed to love Danny, "for richer, or richer" and the room echoed with the sound of over 100 guests laughing hysterically :D The reception was followed by cocktail hour (where the bride and groom got to enjoy time with their guests as portraits were all done!) which was then followed by the reception. It was such a wonderful day and we are so honored to have been 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!
