Amber & Luis :: 8-16-2015 :: Wedding in San Clemente

Amber and Luis had such a beautiful and fun wedding day! The wedding was held at the beautiful Casino San Clemente near the ocean. We started the day by getting some detail and getting ready shots while Amber and her girls were pampered by their lovely makeup artist in the venue's lovely bridal suite. After everyone was dressed (how gorgeous are the ombre bridesmaid dresses?) I took some photos with Amber and the girls while Tim took some photos with Luis and his groomsmen. As the sun was beginning to sparkle and set lighting up their ceremony space, Amber and Luis exchanged vows in the back garden of the venue. As part of the ceremony, these two watered a bonsai with water from their favorite locations to symbolize their two lives coming together as one. So unique and special!  After the ceremony, we took photos all around Casino San Clemente and the surrounding area with their bridal party and the newlyweds. Then we headed to the central part of the dome-shaped building for toasts, a delicious dinner and lots of dancing! The decor included table numbers with names inspired by important elements of their lives such as where they first met (Medieval Times) to their favorite things to do together to unique parts of each of their lives. We had SO much fun at this wedding and it was such a pleasure to be a part of the day from designing their ombre invitations to the fun engagement session with their sweet pup Buttons, to being a part of this gorgeous day! We wish the new Mr. and Mrs. Cortez all the love in the world!

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!
