Laura & Charles :: 10-21-17 :: Wedding in Yucca Valley

The amount of cuteness from Laura and Charles was just overwhelmingly good :) This day was so much fun as I got to see one of my dear long time friends marry the love of her life! The small bridal party started off their day getting ready together at Charles' parents' home in Yucca Valley. There were so many personalized and sentimental details a part of this day from Laura's dress which was a re-tailored version of her mom's dress, to her engagement ring which once belonged to Charles' family, to their own custom wedding bands inscribed with their nicknames, to their custom tsum tsum wedding cake topper, all the details had so much thought put into them! After dress, shoes and jewelry were photographed and everyone was dressed, we all made our way to the side yard of the property for Laura and Charles to have a first look. These two were so sweet and tender once the saw each other in their wedding best, they both laughed, cried and loved how great the other looked! We had the distinct pleasure of working with Laura to design and create the flowers for the bridal party and it was so exciting to finally see them complete the whole look on the big day! After the first look we did some bridal party photos and then walked over to the Joshua Tree National Park (which borders the home!) for some more portraits of the Mr and Mrs. to be! We next took a quick trip over to the Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel where the wedding and reception took place. As the sun was beginning to the set, these two exchanged vows and rings and were finally husband and wife! After family portraits, we took the newlyweds out to an empty spot for some more portraits in the golden hour sun. Their reception was full of joyful toasts, emotional first dances and sweet cake cutting followed by a sparkler exit! We loved every moment of this wedding and it was such a delight to photograph this beautiful day for our wonderful friends! :)

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!
