Traditional
Black ties. Ballrooms. Churches. We love when our couples step into tradition.
Catherine doesn’t simply move through a room – she glides. From person to person, she artfully embraces each guest with both a hug and her signature heart-melting smile, treating each person like the most important being in the entire room. Maybe even the world. In fact, just to stand next to her, to listen to
David and Caitlin’s stunning estate wedding on Mercer Island in Seattle continues today with a lovely tented reception on the sweeping back lawn overlooking the water. I love that these two chose long wooden tables with family style benches from Seattle Farm Tables and McKenzie Powell Design did an excellent job on the soft summer florals. From their favorite local
How David hooked her, nobody knows. All of his college frat buddies marvel at the fact that the straight-laced computer guy they nicknamed ‘Digital Dave’ hooked a girl as gorgeous, elegant, and thoughtful as Caitlin. In fact, this nerdy boy himself would totally admit that he’s marrying up. But when Caitlin looks at David we all
It takes a very stylish eye to take a fresh look at the house of your childhood and reinvent it for your backyard garden wedding, but Josh and Corinne did a spectacular job! They invited their closest friends and family the home in which Josh grew up, hung bistro lights across the gardens, adorned family

We’re sending you into the summer weekend in sophistication and style with Part Two of Jeff and Jenny’s lovely wedding in Laguna Beach. I loved the clean and soft look of the whole affair – the pretty in pink florals, the casual patio dinner overlooking the sprawling St. Regis grounds, and the gourmet meal paired with
When Jenny moves, she stands tall and graceful as if tradition itself is rising up through her backbone and into her delicate cheeks and soft eyes. When Jeff mingles, he’s strong and secure with a warm smile and an arm that’s always ready to lean upon. Together, they make a gorgeous pair. Elegant in each
If you thought Stefan and Morgan looked elegant at their ceremony at Pepperdine University, just wait until you see their Fairmont Miramar reception in Santa Monica that’s chock full of elegant details. A big thanks goes out to Cassandra Santor for her keen design eye and for coordinating the day. She was uber fantastic to
It feels as if Stefan and Morgan have stepped straight out of an old classic Hollywood movie. They’re timeless in their style, elegant in their demeanor, and sweet in their hearts. In fact, I was sure that at any moment on their wedding day the lights of the world were going dim around us, two
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
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
If you’ve been keeping up with The Youngrens on Facebook, you’ll know that Jeff and I have been SO EXCITED to share the images from Mike and Sarah’s Villanova University wedding in Philly. We made some of our most favorite photographs EVER at this wedding. Not only were we so inspired by the east coast
