Nicole and Brad had the definition of an elegant and timeless wedding at Pelican Hill this past Spring. The overall palette was as classic as it gets- shades of ivory and white with touches of black here and there. We had fun working with the talented crew at Nisie’s Enchanted Florist putting together the decor- and it all turned out so gorgeous! My good friend Robert Evans (of Robert Evans Studios) was with us to photograph the day. Here are some of my favorite images from the wedding- enjoy:)

Beverly and Nelson are the cutest together! They make each other absolutely light up- and in turn, everyone around them shares in their happiness. Their Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel wedding was absolute perfection- and the traditional Chinese Tea Ceremonies earlier in the day were the perfect prelude to the rockin’ celebration. The guys at FortyOneTwenty outdid themselves with the final edit! See for yourself…

Natalie and Joey are one cool couple. They love a good time, and love each other even more. And I happen to love their taste in music! For example, the song they chose for their most awesome Same Day Edit for their Seven Degrees wedding created by Elysium Productions. Try not to sing along and tap your feet while you watch:)

Yvonne and Jon (whose wedding is coming up this May at the Walt Disney Concert Hall) are total foodies, and they love experiencing new dishes together. So they came up with the adorable idea to have their engagement session serve as more of a lifestyle shoot, and their lovely photographer Drew (of Drew B Photography) followed them through the preparation of a romantic meal- from Farmers Market to the dining table. I just love how it turned out- see for yourself!
Stephanie and Simon are a super hip and stylish couple- they definitely have a very cool vibe about them! Their Skirball Cultural Center wedding is coming up next month and I can’t wait. For now here are my favorites from their engagement session shot by Lin and Jirsa Photography.
Sherri and Patrick are so very near and dear to my heart. They are the kindest, most adorable couple and their gorgeous Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel wedding not too long ago definitely left a smile on my face. We were lucky to have the guys at Threaded Films along to capture the day on video and produce a Same Day Edit only they could put together. I am going to let them explain because they are the creative geniuses behind this work of art. From their blog:
“Sherri knows how to create amazing origami, thus she took on the task of making customized origami cranes for all 170 of her guests. When she told us about this, we couldn’t help but insist that we film the process and make it part of the Same Day Edit. We took the opportunity to not only incorporate the Origami into the same day edit, but also weave the storyline with folds and transitions that in our crazy minds. . . . felt like video origami. There are so many little touches in this one that scream Patrick and Sherri. Some are subtle (the ode to their endless love of video games) and some are blatantly obvious, like their four legged child, Kujo. This little guy stole the show and became one of the more significant threads through the storyline in the edit. We are so happy for Patrick and Sherri and we truly hope that we did them proud with our interpretation of an Origami Same Day Edit.” Enjoy!

Lauren and Scott are an adventurous duo. I love that their engagement occured around the world, during a candlelit dinner on a beach in Thailand. Totally the stuff that romance novels are made of. Their life together is filled with fun, so of course their wedding followed suit! They chose the historic Adamson House in Malibu as the setting for their personal and meaningful ceremony, and then followed it up with a off-the-hook party under the stars while the waves crashed nearby. I mean how could it not be a party with Stir Father playing nothing but the best 80′s covers to keep the dance floor packed? We are all lucky to be able to relive the day through the lense of the talented (and adorable!) Suthi Picotte (of Picotte Weddings). And now for my favorite images from the special day:
Lauren’s one-shoulder La Sposa gown was, to say the least, amazing. And just perfect for her!
There are a million different places to take pictures at the Adamson House- I am sure Suthi would agree that she could have easily walked around for hours without running out of inspiration. And then of course there is the fact that these two are gorgeous together…
Lauren put her heart and soul into filling the day with tons of little personal touches. I tell all my clients- the day is all about you two, so make it whatever you want it to be!

Beverly and Nelson are absolutely adorable together! I love how they let their personal style shine through in their recent engagement session photographed by Sarah (of Sarah K. Chen Photography). Their Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel wedding is just around the corner and I cannot wait to see all their planning come together! Until then, here enjoy some of my favorites from their shoot:
