Ely & Paul :: 5-29-2015 :: Wedding in Bellflower and Glendale

Ely and Paul are such a beautiful couple, and after 10 years together (and knowing each other since grade school!), they were bound to have wonderful and beautiful wedding! They had a beautifully executed honeycomb theme throughout their day from their DIY DVD "invitations" to their favors, decor and cake! :) I also brought along some honeycomb cut outs for some extra detail shots of the "invitations" and jewelry. I love when couples have such a great theme! We began the day at Ely and Paul's duplex house to capture some of the getting ready moments with Ely and Paul, their families and bridal party. Both Ely and Paul did a first look with their bridal party, which was sweet and so much fun! Ely (and Paul!) had a super cool ride to take them to and fro on their wedding day, and it amazingly matched with their wedding colors! :) After the Mass at St. Bernard Church, (with some cute signs held by their flower girls) we took pictures outside the church of the wedding party and the happy couple. I had such a fabulous time making some fun chalkboards for these two, with the hearts being a surprise for Paul! Afterwards, we headed to the Royal Palace Banquet Hall, for their amazing reception.  The reception began with the bride and groom making their grand entrance and doing an amazing choreographed dance to the top 10 songs for the 10 years Ely and Paul were together before the big day! It was sooooooo cool!  The toasts and dances were incredibly sweet, and the garter and bouquet toss were so much fun :) To many more years of Ely and Paul! :D

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!
