Mariana & Ian :: 10-13-2017 :: Wedding in Topanga Canyon

The best way to celebrate a Friday the 13th in October? Why an amazing, dark, moody and romantic wedding of course! Mariana and Ian met while working for AAA and on vacation through the company in Hawaii! So romantic to meet your forever partner while in paradise! These two had a beautiful day on a sunny but cool Friday afternoon and evening! Mariana started the day getting ready with her girls in the Hilton Hotel, Woodland Hills. After getting hair done by her amazing friend and bridesmaid Meredith, Mariana donned her amazing backless and sleeved gown with the assistance of her mom and bridesmaids. After everyone was ready we headed to their sweet and secluded venue, the Inn of the Seventh Ray. Nestled among the oaks and alongside a dry river bed, this gorgeous venue was a romantic and intimate place for their I do's! Mariana and Ian shared an emotional first look and then we headed to the back part of the property for bridal party and romantic portraits with the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. After some detail shots the guests were beginning to arrive and it was time for these two to exchange their vows! Under the setting sun and twinkling lights these two proclaimed their love for one another and were officially pronounced man and wife! After some family photos, the party got started with toasts, cake cutting and a few dances before these two ran through an amazingly fun sparkler exit! We had the pleasure of not only photographing this beautiful day, but also designing and creating the bouquets and boutonnieres worn by the bridal party and families!

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!
