Nicole & Brad :: 4-3-2016 :: Wedding in Riverside

What a beautiful day it was for Nicole and Brad! These two wed at Loft 84 in beautiful downtown Riverside. The beautiful and unique movie ticket invitations designed by the bride set the tone for the day: a vintage, fun, movie, Harry Potter themed wedding and with pink and navy as the colors of the day! We started out with Nicole getting ready on location in the upstairs are of the loft. After Nicole had donned her beautiful dress and veil, we captured some sweet moments as Brad helped their son James get all dressed up for the big day. Next Nicole and Brad shared their first look nearby the venue around some of the beautiful downtown exteriors. After some sweet moments, we met up with the bridal party and family for some more portraits. We loved all the unique and fun Harry Potter details from the wands, snitch necklace, and Harry Potter pins to the corsages made from Harry Potter book pages, everything was off the charts! After some portraits with the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. and their son James we headed back the the venue for the ceremony. It was short and sweet ceremony, including a sweet moment where James was asked to make his own vows to love his mom and dad and was given a pocketwatch as a symbol of the promises he made. After some fun moments, laughter, exchange of rings and prayer, these two were married! Their first kiss was followed by much celebration and cheers of joy from their closest friends and family, who were gathered to witness their big day. After cocktail hour where the bride and groom stole away for a few moments together and some family photos, they then got to join their party! All the DIY elements and movie theme details were amazing! Once all the guests were seated, the bridal party made their grand entrance into the reception, and Nicole and Brad went right into their first dance, followed by Nicole's first dance with James dinner and toasts. Up next were all the usual reception shenanigans including some amazing food and stunning dessert display. It was such a marveous day for such a wonderful couple and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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
