Michelle & Armando :: 10-3-2015 :: Wedding in Malibu

This day was so unbelievably beautiful! Michelle and Armando got married on a warm October day  at Malibu Phoenix Ranch a beautiful location tucked away in the hills of Malibu, and they really meshed their nature/rustic/vintage theme easily with this gorgeous location! Their muted color palette with pops of color was elegantly dispersed throughout the decor and attire of the day. Our day began with some detail and getting ready shots. After everyone was dressed, we made the 5 minute walk into the forest area near the ranch for the ceremony where the natural beauty of the trees served as the ceremony decor :) The ceremony followed shortly after and all the guests were treated by moments of tenderness and joy! Portraits followed in the stunning beauty and gorgeous light of the forest and next it was time for them to be announced at their reception as the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Mota! The reception decor featured simple rustic decor with long tables next to the pool featuring DIY yarn balls, lace and burlap, a dessert bar and our favorite-----the handmade paper flowers! Upon entering their reception, the couple invited everyone to eat and as the meal winded down the day was finished with toasts and the first dance. This was such a splendid day celebrating such a beautiful and loving couple!

 Thanks also to the fabulous Allison Oh for assisting us on this fantastic wedding day!

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!

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 mar...

Cynthia & Brandon :: 3-23-13 :: Wedding in Lakewood & Hawaiian Gardens

Image
Cynthia and Brandon 's wedding was such a fun celebration and so uniquely them! We spent the first part of the day with the girls as they laughed, talked and got ready for the day. After everyone was ready to go, I traveled with the girls on the Party Bus to the ceremony and let me tell you, these bridesmaids (and the whole bridal party for that matter!) know how to have a good time! Cynthia and Brandon wrote their own touching vows to one another which they read with great emotion and love. They got married in a sweet little church in Lakewood that was so excited to host their first wedding in 10 years and their reception was hosted at the superb Hawaiian Gardens Community Center. Cynthia is a major DIY bride, and you can see all her beautiful hard work in everything from the invitations to the centerpieces. It was such a beautiful day and such a joy to witness the love of such wonderful people. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy! ...
