Leesha & Russell :: 7-2-2016 :: Wedding at the Disneyland Hotels

What a beautiful and magical day it was for Leesha and Russell! How could it not be, they got married at Disneyland* (specifically the Rose Court Garden at the Disneyland Hotel and the Grand California Hotel!). The letterpress invitations by Catharine Perry set the tone for the day: a romantic, fairy-tale, "Tangled" themed day filled with gorgeous florals, fun and of course plenty of Harry Potter touches! We started out with Leesha getting ready at the Disneyland Hotel close to the ceremony site. After Leesha had donned her beautiful Maggie Sotero dress with the help of her sweet mom, she had some finishing touches with her bridesmaids. Next Leesha and Russell shared their first look at the Rose Court Garden gazebo. After a few moments spent together in the beautiful afternoon sun, we pinned boutonnieres and met up with the bridal party for some more portraits over by the Grand California Hotel. Their short and sweet ceremony followed and after some fun moments, laughter, exchange of rings and pronouncement, these two were married! It was one of our quickest ceremonies ever! :D Their first kiss was followed by much celebration, bubbles and cheers of joy from their closest friends and family, who were gathered to witness their big day. After cocktail hour where we stole the bride and groom stole away for a few moments together in the beautiful sunlight and then they got to join their party! All the elegant Disney, DIY elements and personalized details were off the charts! Once all the guests were seated, the bridal party made their grand entrance into the reception, and the new Mr. and Mrs. Havens went right into their first dance, followed by toasts and dinner. For their cake cutting, Leesha and Russell were joined by non other than Mickey and Minnie themselves for some fun moments and photos! It was such a blast! Finally, after all the reception events were completed, we stole the newlyweds away from the party for a romantic end of the night shot. It was such a marveous day for such a wonderful couple and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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!

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!
