Danielle & Derek :: 9-29-18 :: Wedding in Huntington Beach

Danielle and Derek are such sweeties! We started out their warm and sunny wedding day at the Hyatt Huntington Beach where Danielle got ready with her bridesmaids in their amazing suite! After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Danielle's mom and her girls helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil, shoes and garter. The guys got ready at another hotel and had a blast hanging out and getting their custom wood watch gifts from Derek. There is a gorgeous park adjacent to their venue, the Newland Barn, so after everyone was ready, the the couple had their first look and we took some bridal party photos. After those and the newlywed portraits were done, we all made our way back up to the barn for the ceremony. The Newland Barn is such a lovely and intimate venue, perfect for the exchange of Danielle and Derek's vows. An especially sweet moment was their personalized vows to one another, I don't think there was a dry eye in attendance! Once the ceremony was complete we spent some time capturing family portraits and then headed to the venue's garden for some golden hour shots of the new Mr. and Mrs. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun details like touches of the Eiffel Tower (where they got engaged!), framed engagement photos and adorable signage! Upon joyfully entering their reception, Danielle and Derek had their first dance in the setting sun. Then they spent some time greeting, and thanking each of their guests and listening to toasts. After dinner, Danielle danced with her dad and Derek with his mom, both were so incredibly sweet. After the bouquet and garter toss there was some epic dancing from their amazing guests. 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!
