Immaculata Wedding, Part Two
Michael and Jennifer

Category: weddingsTags:

Welcome back to Part Two of Michael and Jennifer’s wedding at the Immaculata church at USD. This was such a lovely morning wedding with the kinds of soft touches and sweet colors that make any girl melt. Again, a huge thanks goes out to Diane of Whimsey Florals for rockin’ the incredible flowers and making our images look GOOD. USD’s campus is full of elegant Spanish architecture so we stole away with the bridal party before heading to the reception at the Sheraton Harbor Island. 5 people love this Cute, cute, cute! 3 people love this   2 people love…

Immaculata Wedding, Part One
Michael and Jennifer

Category: weddingsTags:

Michael and Jennifer’s wedding was a calm, lovely morning affair at the grand Immaculata church at the University of San Diego. There was the usual flurry of activity – an iPhone playing music in the corner, clouds of hairspray, puffs of perfume, and a beautiful dress hanging in the window. And there was the usual ‘to-dos’ – make sure the programs make it to the church, pack the suitcases, organize cars, and pin stray hairs. But if the day was a river, it was less of a rapid current and more like a lazy stream moving wonderfully along. And what…

Crestmore Manor Wedding, Part Two
James and Marilyn

Category: weddingsTags:

Part Two of James and Marilyn’s adorable DIY wedding at the romantic Crestmore Manor is dripping with loveliness. If my eyes could drool, they were definitely drooling over the swoon-worthy touches that Marilyn worked so hard on. One of my favorite parts was the wooden signs incorporated throughout the venue, particularly this welcome sign at the entrance to the ceremony. How cute is this?? 8 people love this Inside the cozy and sweet reception, groupings of mason jars with pretty spring flowers acted as centerpieces with patterned green runners adding a splash of fun color. 7 people love this I…

Crestmore Manor Wedding, Part One
James and Marilyn

Category: weddingsTags:

Nothing could dampen their day. Marilyn’s eyes searched the sky as gray clouds loomed in the distance and talk of rain buzzed around the room, but her face showed something much different than worry. She seemed full, as if her chest had suddenly become too small for the wonderful emotions inside. She had that gorgeous look of joy. And excitement. And nervousness. She wanted to take in every single moment and never let it go, hold it in the palm of her hand forever so that it would never slip by. James and Marilyn experience life with their hearts on…

Brian and Shanna

Category: weddingsTags:

Today we get to show off the full elegance of Brian and Shanna’s fabulous wedding at The Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. This hotel is dripping with sophistication and Shanna wrapped that look with soft, feminine details to create a jaw-dropping mix of fancy and sweet. A huge thanks goes out to Erin and Krista of Nouveau Events for flawlessly coordinating the day. These ladies are absolute dynamite and left no detail overlooked in this stunner of a wedding. For today, I thought we’d start off with my favorite image from the entire day. A classic Bentley, a stunning bride, and…

Langham Pasadena Wedding, Part One
Brian and Shanna

Category: weddingsTags:

Somehow when the world drags them down, when it all becomes just a little too much and they want to slip under the covers and hide away, they set each other free. She grabs his hand and his heart steadies. He pulls her close and her mind settles. And the best part is that when they set each other free, they become the best part of themselves. Shanna has this totally goofy personality beneath her lovable sweetness, and surrounded by her closest friends and family with Brian’s deep loving eyes by her side, we saw every inch of that joyful…

Two Key Elements For Your Wedding Decor

Category: weddingsTags:

I’m about to get real opinionated. (I apologize in advance.) But I get asked this question quite a bit, and I have a very clear answer. Question: “When it comes to my wedding decor, what makes the biggest impact?” Answer: The linens and the chairs. Without a doubt. It’s not the flowers or the centerpieces or the favors. It’s not even the bridesmaids outfits or the lighting. All of those things are important (especially the lighting – more to come on that topic soon), but they won’t do any good if the basics don’t look amazing first. When you walk into…

Cabrillo National Monument Wedding
Joe and Alison

Category: weddingsTags:

Joe is thoughtful and chill with kind eyes and a warm smile. He reserves his emotions inside, but it doesn’t take much to realize that in the rhythm of his kind, easy going nature his sincere heart is beating with the moments. Ali is the bubbly to Joe’s champagne. Her enormous smile, playful hugs, radiant blue eyes , and animated personality melt your heart like southern tea on a late summer’s day – there’s just nothing more refreshing and sweet. It’s so fun watching these two together because they’re separate life rhythms beat together in the perfect lovely harmony. Joe…
