Amanda & Matt :: 1-23-2016 :: Wedding in Laguna Beach

Amanda and Matt's day was simply lovely! They had a morning ceremony with a lunch reception, so our day started bright and early at their venue, the Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach. We spent some time documenting their details and then each of them getting ready. Amanda got ready in her suite overlooking the courtyard where her ceremony would take place. After she donned her dress and her bridal Converse (love a bride who want's to be comfy!) she did a sweet first look with her dad and brother. So sweet! When walking in, the guests were greeted by a beautifully decorated courtyard, their florist was amazing! We LOVED the combo of red, green and grey and the succulents in the arrangements were so striking! Once the ceremony began, Matt could not contain his emotion on seeing his bride for the first time and the tears and smile they both had on their faces for the entire ceremony– these two were SO excited to get married! After the first kiss and celebratory walk up the aisle we did family photos at their ceremony gazebo and bridal party photos around the hotel. This bridal party was so much fun, and we had a blast taking their pictures! After some romantic shots of the newlyweds (including some with a chalkboard we designed to match their invites), it was party time at the reception. Each place setting had a custom candle as a favor– super cute! After the first dance, speeches, and delicious taco lunch it was time for the dancing to begin. Once they had danced and socialized with guests, the new Mr. and Mrs. cut their gorgeous cake. After the bouquet toss and an EPIC garter removal, we took the newlyweds out on to the beach for some sunset shots. Luckily the clouds we had all day started to clear and gave us a little golden hour light! What a great day :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!
