Pauline & Jon :: 5-23-2015 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

The amount of cuteness from Pauline and Jon was just overwhelmingly good :) This day was so unconventional in so many ways! The entire bridal party started off their day getting ready together in an Air BnB loft in Downtown Los Angeles. It was a little strange to see the bride and groom both getting ready in the same space, but it made it so fun! However, after make-up and hair were done, the groom was no longer allowed to see the bride until their first look ;) While Pauline was getting laced into her dress we realized that her hoop under her dress was going to be too long! Luckily the scissors were on hand making for an easy fix :) It was such a cute moment! These two decided to keep things practical by having everyone in their wedding wear all black dresses and suits that could be easily worn again to anything. So smart! After everyone was dressed, Pauline and Jon stole away for a few moments for them to do a first look in a stairwell. These two were so sweet once the saw each other in their wedding best and it was such a quiet moment. After the first look we traveled over to their venue, Pauline's grandparent's home-church in Los Angeles,  Choong Hyun Mission Church for some bridal party and bride and groom portraits. The amazing flowers for the bridal party and decor were assembled and designed by Pauline's grandmother :) After photos were completed, these two exchanged vows and rings and were finally husband and wife! Their dads are both pastors, so the ceremony was officiated by both dads, so wonderful! After family portraits, the bridal party and newlyweds joined the party where their guests were enjoying Korean and Mexican cuisine and instead of a wedding cake; a donut bar! Their reception very simple: no toasts, dances or formal events, but these two did participate in a traditional Korean Tea Ceremony. As part of the ceremony, the bride and groom bow to different family members and then receive advice on marriage from those family members. At the end of the ceremony, to show his strength, the groom has to carry the bride around piggy-back style! We loved every moment of this wedding and it was such a delight to photograph this wonderful day!

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!
