Hailey + Kimia :: 5/13/22 :: Wedding in Silverado Canyon

Wowie-zowie what an amazingly vibrant day it was for Hailey and Kimia!

These two tied the knot at the expansive and historic Rancho Las Lomas tucked away in Silverado Canyon. It was seriously one the most colorful and love-filled days we've ever photographed and the design, details and every element of the floral design by Winston and Main was off the charts gorgeous! We started with these two stunning brides getting each getting ready in a small bungalow on the property. After capturing personal details, we documented them each getting dressed separately and sharing a private first look. We then took portraits all around the property and then met up at the ceremony site with their wedding parties and wonderful families for even more fun photos. Hailey and Kimia wanted to honor each of their parents by displaying their wedding photos and their wonderful planner (Holly Gray) made it even more special by surprising the couple with custom signs displaying how many years each couple had been married-- so sweet! After portraits were completed, it was time for these two to exchange their vows, rings and make it official! Their hilarious, heartfelt and wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, the exchange of rings, and finally the kiss! During cocktail hour, most guests were serenaded by mariachi while a core group of family and friends attended a traditional Persian Sofreh Ceremony where the couple was showered with blessings and given gifts by their parents. Once some more reception details were captured it was time for these two to make their grand entrance into the reception. After their first dance, the guests were wowed by some incredible belly dancing entertainment during dinner service which was then followed by speeches, a rocking' dance floor and of course our last signature nighttime photo! It was such a privilege to be part of their day executed flawlessly by the incredible Holly of Anything But Gray Events and her team!

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!
