Josephine & Johnny :: 2-18-2017 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

What a fun and colorful day it was for Josephine and Johnny! These two had already had a wedding in China, but wanted to have a wedding in Los Angeles where they could celebrate with all their local friends and family. The theme of the day centered around the moon and stars with touches of romantic, vintage, modern and just plain fun with a bounce house right on the front lawn! Their venue, The York Manor was a perfect blank slate for them to apply all their whimsical and romantic touches, planned, organized and pulled off flawlessly by the fabulous Holly Gray. We started out with Josephine's details and her getting ready on location in the upstairs bridal suite. After Josephine  had donned her beautiful dress and veil, and had some finishing touches by her bridesmaids, she and Johnny shared a sweet first look. Next we met up with the super fun bridal party for some portraits in the backyard and then spent some time with Josephine and Johnny, finishing up with some bouncy pictures in the bounce house! Their short and sweet ceremony followed and after some fun moments, laughter, exchange of rings, these two were married, again! After cocktail hour and socializing the bridal party made their grand entrance into the reception, J and J went right into their first dance, followed by a parents dance (where they switched partners half way through!) dinner, toasts and cake. Finally, after all the reception events were completed, we stole the newlyweds away from the party for a romantic end of the night shot at The York Manor's front door :) It was such a marveous day for such a wonderful couple, and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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!
