Meredith & Nick :: 4-16-2016 :: Wedding in Claremont

The amount of cuteness from Meredith and Nick was just overwhelmingly good :) This day was so unconventional in so many ways, but knowing these two and their quirkiness, you wouldn’t expect it any other way. These two met, fell in love, got engaged and got married at Pomona College with their wedding being held at the Seaver Alumni House. We began our day at Casa 425, an amazing boutique hotel in Claremont, where Meredith got ready with her sister and her mom and we documented all the fun little details (including Meredith’s stunning BHLDN dress!). After make-up and hair were done and the dress on, we all traveled over to the Seaver House for a first look. These two, not being ones to take things too seriously, had some hilarious reactions when seeing each other mixed of course with their genuine joy at finally getting married. We next took a tour of Pomona’s campus around some of Meredith and Nick’s favorite spots including taking some photos in and around the bio building where they first met and around one of the most beautiful places on campus, the main quad. After their portraits were done, we met up with their bridal party, Nick’s brother and Meredith’s sister for some bridal party shots and then it was time for the ceremony to begin! My favorite party of the ceremony was when their officiant (the professor who mentored Nick and introduced these two to each other) was talking about all the people there to support them and love them and a baby started crying. It was perfect haha :) After having a little difficulty during the ring exchange, they were finally pronounced Mr. and Mrs. We retreated to the house for some family photos and then these two strolled into their reception where they ate and socialized with their guests. The only formal events at the reception were some toasts and the rest of the time was filled with eating the delicious desserts provided by SomeCrust Bakery and The Donut Man, enjoying the photo booth set up (couch and other vintage rentals from the lovely ladies of Thrifted Sisters Vintage Rentals) and socializing. It was such a special, unique and sentimental day and we are so honored we could be a part of it!

Gordon + Hank :: 4/8/23 :: Wedding in Pioneer Town

Image
G+H had the most magical day in the most magical of places— Rimrock Ranch in Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley! The weather was literally perfect and every detail was thoughtful and intentional and executed flawlessly by Katie at Best Day Ever Events! We started with the two grooms taking photo all over the property and even with one of the horses, Ranger. Next, it was time for guest arrival and ceremony where their guests were first greeted by singing from one of their favorite performers, Leslie Page. As the guests began to sample cocktails from Your Little Local and take their seats, each guest was given a red, woven bracelet. Once everyone was seated, the officiant Lori Kahn explained that the grooms wished their guests to infuse their love and positive energy into their bracelets and place them on their wrists. The two grooms walked down the aisle together, followed by some readings and personal vows. When the vows were concluded— Gordon had set up a surprise for Hank! When cued with the

Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana,  where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where  the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony.  Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun deta
