Micro weddings are some of our favorites and these two are seriously the sweetest! Their beautiful and intimate day was at Rancho Los Cerritos in Long Beach and all of the incredibly DIY details were all created by the incredible bride herself from the video invitation to the flowers and decor, everything was so thoughtful and detailed! We started with these two sharing a first look on the balcony of the property and then we toured all around with them taking portraits around the sprawling grounds of this incredible historic property. They decided to not do any kissing until their first kiss at the ceremony so we had a lot of fun with almost kisses bursting into laughter! As it turned into golden hour, guests arrived and it was time to make it official! The ceremony under the giant fig tree was filled with bubbles, laughter, selfies, poems, hand fasting, personal vows and a ring exchange. It was perfect! It was such an honor to capture this key snippet of Aveen and John's day and
