Topanga, CA: Susan + Aaron got married at The Inn of the Seventh Ray which is a hidden location behind all the business of the PCH. Susan + Aaron were very laid-back and cool, it was a breeze to shoot! At the end of the day, they showed their adventurous spirit and we ended up with a whole set of awesome portraits. Major props for Susan for being super duper trooper by trekking the dry river bed in her high heels! :) The location

Newport, CA – Glorious day for a wedding! Kelly + Robert came from the Bay area and tied the knot at the Turnip Rose/Grand Newport Plaza. A rubik’s cube world record was broken & giant chocolate-covered strawberries were injected with tasty adult beverages. Epic! Angel Swanson from Love & Splendor made sure we’re well-fed and taken care of the entire night so we adore her. :-) Dress: Monique Lhullier Shoes: Manolo Blahnik Cake: Heidelberg Bakery Flowers: Flower Allie
Robert finished this rubik’s cube challenge in 4 minutes! PWN3D!

Ojai, CA – We do love being honorary Persians! Haleh + Ramin was super upbeat and they are just fueling each other’s positive energy. They are friends of our previous clients and it was awesome meeting everyone again. The gorgeous Casa Elar of Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is the location of the wedding and it was just amazing. Filled with their closest family and friends, the wedding was a blast! Such a blast that security had to come to quiet things down a bit towards the end. Which the party did, only until the security left :) Coordinator: Jaimie Hastings of Churchill House VIP Events Dress: Vera Wang Shoes: Sergio Rossi Flowers/Decor: Krislyn Design DJ/Band: DJ Behseed & The Gypsy Boys Cake: Starr Cakes Hair: Martin – Joseph Martin Salon

Pasadena, CA – Jessica + Wilson were all smiles from the get go. They’re so amazingly happy together that it made us feel warm and fuzzy too. The wedding took place at the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa, Pasadena but we roamed around town to do their portraits before the beautiful ceremony. An awesome 12-piece band entertained the guests (and us!) during the reception and Ben & Jerry’s were served at the end of the night.

Both of them were crying after seeing each other for the first time
