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

Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana,  where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where  the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony.  Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun deta

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
