Jessica & Shawn :: 5-28-2017 :: Wedding in Laguna Beach

This day was so much fun!! Jessica and Shawn got married on Memorial Day weekend at the fabulous Tivoli Too in Laguna Beach! We started our day with Jessica getting  ready at an AirBnb in Irvine with her bridesmaids and Shawn getting ready at their apartment. After Jessica had donned her beautiful dress and veil, and had some finishing touches by her bridesmaids, we all made the trip over to William Mason Regional Park in Irvine where Jessica and Shawn shared an emotional first look and we took some bridal party portraits. Next we spent some time with the Mr. and Mr.s to-be taking some more portraits in the beautiful afternoon light.  Immediately following we headed to their venue, Tivoli Too to capture the details and set up for both their ceremony and reception. Their garden area was perfect for the exchange of Jessica and Shawn’s vows and after the traditional smashing of the glass, they were officially Mr. and Mrs. Pardo! Once the ceremony was complete, the couple and their guests shared a first toast, they cut their cake and then we did some family portraits, a few more of the bride and groom, and then headed off to party! The reception was full of orchids, twinkle lights and personalized details, it was gorgeous!  Upon joyfully entering their reception, Jessica and Shawn had their first dance qhuckly followed by the father/daughter and mother/son dances. Dinner followed along with toasts and lots of dancing! We snuck the newlyweds out for a fairytale nighttime shot to end our night, it was such a tremendous pleasure to be a part of this amazing 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 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

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!
