Kailey & Øyvind :: 11-13-2016 :: Wedding in Pomona

These two have such a unique story: they met online through their mutual devotion to heavy metal music and began a long distance relationship between Southern California and Norway, the rest as they say, is history. Kailey & Øyvind have been through a lot together and despite the distance and illnesses, they came through hardships that would break most couples even stronger than ever. Their personal lives and their mutual loves heavily influenced every aspect of their wedding from the decor, to attire to their wedding rings. Bright and soft pinks mixed with Viking elements mixed with skulls and heavy metal influences were combined together and they meshed so well, echoing how these two from such different backgrounds came together so perfectly. They got married on a cool but sunny day at the amazing and historical Kellogg House in on Cal Poly Pomona's campus. The Kellogg House is the house of the Kelloggs of cereal fame so naturally it was stunningly beautiful and perfect for events! We started out our day documenting some details and Kailey's girls helping her get dressed. Our original plan was to do a first look but as the schedule fell behind and guests began to arrive we realized that ultimately it would be more meaningful to have Kailey and Øyvind's first look as she walked down the aisle. They had an emotional ceremony with personal and traditional vows and they were so excited to finally be husband and wife. Family, bridal party, and newlyweds portraits soon followed featuring the gorgeous grounds of the Kellogg House and an amazing vintage car that added an fun vintage flair to the photos. After Øyvind changed from his traditional attire to a dapper tux, the couple entered their reception for their first dance, toasts, dinner, cake cutting and dancing. We stole the couple away for a few end of the night shots including a getaway moment in the vintage car. This day was so much fun and it was such a pleasure to document Kailey and Øyvind's beautiful love story.

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!
