Katherine & Marissa :: 4/16/22 :: Wedding in Long Beach

We love these two wonderful humans so so much and it was such a delight to be a part of their day!

Katherine and Marissa tied the knot at The Grand in Long Beach in the most colorful and love-filled day that was practically perfect in every way! We started with these two stunning brides getting ready in their adorable Airbnb in Long Beach. After capturing personal details (yes, their dresses are by the same designer and have matching lace!), we documented them each getting dressed separately and sharing a private first look. After final touches with their wedding party it was time for portraits in their photo spot-- South Coast Botanic Garden. We had so much fun with their joyful group of close family/friends and then visiting some beautiful spots all around the botanic gardens. After portraits were completed, it was time for these two to exchange their vows, rings and make it official! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, the exchange of rings, and finally the kiss! After the family photos and some more details of the incredible reception decor once the space was flipped, these two made their grand entrance into the reception, followed the first dance, dinner and speeches. After eating some Hopia (their "cake") and dancing with their dads, it was partyyyyyyy time! And as always near the end of our coverage time, we stole the newlyweds away from the party with our flash for a romantic end of the night shot at the front of their venue.  It was such a privilege to be part of their day executed flawlessly by the wonderful Rock N' Willow Events!

Cherie & Max :: 4/9/2022 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

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

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!

Maya & Satish :::: Engagement Session at Carbon Canyon Redwoods

Image
Like many couples these days, these two cuties met online and the rest is history! After getting engaged earlier this year, they are planning a dual wedding incorporating traditional and western celebrations which will be so unique and beautiful! For their session they wanted to incorporate their pup Cybil (the shepherd mix) as she has been a huge part of their relationship from the very beginning and two different outfits reflecting their two celebrations. We had such a blast with these three on this dark and moody day at the Carbon Canyon Redwood grove and we are so excited for what lies ahead! Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
