Sarah + Clay :: 7/16/22 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

Sarah and Clay had THE most fun, personal and colorful wedding of our summer so far! I couldn't have imagined spending my birthday with a more fun crew this year!

These two tied the knot at our favorite natural light, blank space industrial venue, The East Angel and they combined so many of their favorite things from cameos by their kitties everywhere, to the colorful attire and decor to creating a whole prize giving out event at the beginning of the reception-- it was a day that was so perfectly them. All the events of the day took place at the venue and it's clean and tropical vibe  lended itself perfectly to the mood of the day. After capturing personal details (yes, Sarah's dress is RAINBOW) and getting dressed, Sarah and Clay shared their laughter-filled first look and then we took wedding party portraits around the venue. After some newlywed portraits and some more detail photos, it was time for these two to exchange their vows. 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, these two entered with style into their party and were met with some sweet personal speeches. Their prize game followed and had the crowd crying with laughter. After everyone was well fed at the Kogi BBQ truck and multiple food stations, there were a few more speeches, a first dance and then the party got underway! 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 base of the newly opened 6th Street Bridge juuuuust as the sun was setting.  It was such a marvelous day for such a wonderful couple, and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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
