Megan & Sam :: 5-19-18 :: Wedding at Pomona Colleges in Claremont

Megan and Sam had such an unconventional wedding day in so many ways! First off, these two got married before their wedding day in a private ceremony with just their family, so they had already seen each other in their wedding best! When we met up on their cloudy wedding day at Pomona College, we started off our time together jumping into portraits with their small bridal party (their brother and sister) and then took portraits of the newlyweds all over the campuses. We went to spots that were both beautiful and meaningful to them as a couple including the Math Department which featured an amazing outdoor classroom! These two met at a Math Department social gathering back in their undergrad days at Pomona College, so it was especially meaningful for them to take wedding portraits where they had spend many of their foundational years together :) After their newlywed portraits were complete, we did some family photos and then prepared for their ceremony. Since these two were already legally married, they took the opportunity to craft a very non-traditional ceremony for their guest to witness featuring their bridal party as “officiants,” words of wisdom from Sam’s parents, a series of blessings and kind words spoken over them by their closest family and friends, and personalized back and forth vows which were mixed in with traditional elements like the ring exchange and of course, the first kiss. Their epic bubble exit followed and then these two spent time socializing with their guests at cocktail hour. Their reception was filled with kind toasts, table visits and socializing, cake cutting and a first dance after which the party really got started on the dance floor. We loved every single moments of their beautiful and unique wedding day and really felt like we got to know their family and friends through their kindness and fun atmosphere :) Lots of love to these two!

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!
