Sarah & Sergio :: 8-10-14 :: Wedding in Seal Beach

Sarah and Sergio's day was simply lovely! They had a morning ceremony with a lunch reception, so our day started bright and early at their venue, the Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. We spent some time documenting their details and then each of them getting ready. The girls had such a great time relaxing and laughing together during the super fun hair and make-up session (hair and makeup by the my friend the very talented Briana Rusk!). When walking in, the guests were greeted by a beautiful guest table setup, including wonderful chalkboard signs made by the talented mother of the bride. Once the ceremony began, Sarah walked down a very dramatic staircase for her grand entrance. We love the big smile that Sergio has on his face for the entire ceremony– these two were SO excited to get married! After the first kiss and celebratory walk up the aisle we did family photos near the entrance staircase and bridal party photos around the front of the country club. This bridal party was so much fun, and we had a blast taking their pictures! After some romantic shots of the newlyweds, it was party time at the reception! Each place setting had a Sees Gourmet Lollypop as a favor– super cute! After the first dance, speeches, and delicious lunch it was time for the dancing to begin! Once they had danced and socialized with guests, the new Mr. and Mrs. cut their adorable mini cake (with cupcakes for easy serving to their guests!). On the table were the Build A Bears they had made when Sergio proposed to Sarah. After the bouquet toss and some more lively dancing, the guests sent off the newlyweds into the late afternoon with a showering of bubbles! What a great day :D

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!

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 mar...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
