Natalie & Scott :: 7-23-2016 :: Wedding in Azusa

What a beautiful (although rather hot!) day! Natalie and Scott are such sweeties and had such a wonderful wedding! Natalie got ready at her parent's home close to their venue which happened to be decorated in the same theme as their wedding: classic and rustic Americana! It helped set the fun and classic tone for their day and it was fun to capture so many sweet getting ready moments, including her flower girls looking at her dress and her sisters helping her into her dress. These two got married at the beautiful Historic Lindley-Scott House in Azusa and after everyone was ready and it was almost go time, we did a "not" first look with Natalie and Scott right before they walked down the isle!  After the ceremony was under way there were some laughs, tender vows and they being finally pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Marcus! Their guests sent them up the isle waving American flags and we had a great time with their bridal party taking more fun photos waving American flags! As the sun was setting we spent some time taking portraits of the new Mr. and Mrs., including some shots with the custom chalkboard I made for them.  The reception was held at the Lindley-Scott House's carriage barn where their guests could enjoy some relief from the heat. After being announced, the couple went straight into their first dance which was then followed by dinner and speeches. Some socializing followed and then the newlyweds cut the cake and we took them outside for a few fun end of the night shots. It was such a fun, festive day and we wish these two many years of joy!

Gordon + Hank :: 4/8/23 :: Wedding in Pioneer Town

G+H had the most magical day in the most magical of places— Rimrock Ranch in Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley! The weather was literally perfect and every detail was thoughtful and intentional and executed flawlessly by Katie at Best Day Ever Events! We started with the two grooms taking photo all over the property and even with one of the horses, Ranger. Next, it was time for guest arrival and ceremony where their guests were first greeted by singing from one of their favorite performers, Leslie Page. As the guests began to sample cocktails from Your Little Local and take their seats, each guest was given a red, woven bracelet. Once everyone was seated, the officiant Lori Kahn explained that the grooms wished their guests to infuse their love and positive energy into their bracelets and place them on their wrists. The two grooms walked down the aisle together, followed by some readings and personal vows. When the vows were concluded— Gordon had set up a surprise for Hank! When cued with the

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
