From our very first meeting, Linda described a beautiful clearcut vision for her wedding. She wanted to maintain certain traditions while incorporating a fresh style - bright pops of pink & tangerine, a chic birdcage veil, dapper grey suits for the guys (with matching grey chucks - my fave of the chuck colors!), an awesome live band (and MC/DJ who also happened to be THE most amazing Michael-Buble-ish vocalist.)

With no detail left unturned, Linda & Chris could really kick back and enjoy the day, which flowed beautifully, especially with Shana of East West Event Productions on hand to coordinate. We’re so excited we could be there to document their perfect summer wedding!

The lush florals were all designed by the super sweet Cindy of Floral Elements. I’m so in love with that vibrant pink shade of peony in Linda’s bouquet…

How cute are the flowergirls in their sherbet-colored outfits?

After the ceremony we headed to UCI for portraits. I always love shooting against natural & green backdrops and adored this grove of trees!

Jenny & Jerry had the loveliest yellow-hued wedding last month! June gloom kindly stepped aside for a sunny day that matched the vibrant color palette they chose for the wedding. The whole occasion had a warm relaxed feel that perfectly ushered in summer!

I looooved working with the team of vendors they put together - the day was beautifully coordinated by Ryann of Hustle and Bustle Events, the lush florals were designed by LV Florals, and stunning video was captured by Joe of Today’s the Day Weddings {Scott and I always love working with Joe, he’s a great videographer and his unobtrusive style meshes so well with ours!}

Jenny looked gorgeous in her lace gown, which she had altered to a beautiful custom design of her liking…

Love the sweet sachets of lavender they gave as favors & the lovebird cake topper! The amazing cake was created by Jeseca Creations.

For the reception, Jenny changed into THE most amazing dress - I love the soft green color & whimsical feel!

Near the end of the reception, Jerry surprised Jenny with a sweet rendition of “Wonderful Tonight” that he had been practicing on the guitar. It was such a heartfelt moment:

Vassoula & Hany had a beautiful Greek wedding last month, filled with warmth, love, and tons of vibrant energy! A traditional ceremony was followed by the ultimate party of a reception, filled with stunning details (I was mesmerized by the unique centerpieces.. and Sprinkles cupcakes? YES PLEASE.), touching toasts, and tons & tons of dancing!

One of my absolute favorite parts of every wedding day is the getting-ready portion - I love capturing all the sweet details & the bustling pre-ceremony anticipation! Vassoula looked unbelievable and with the amazing light that filled her home, I was in shutter-happy heaven :)

The reception setup was gorgeous, a mix of round & long tables, tons of glowing candles & the prettiest shades of purples and blues…
