On a warm November evening, just as the sun dipped behind the foothills of the San Fernando Valley, the haunting melody of Apocalypitca’s cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” began to play. This was the cue for the bridal party to take their places and witness Claire and Justin walk themselves down the aisle of […]

A wedding that brings their two families who have never met together. A dance floor that is packed with people who are there for a reason and not “just because.” A “Big Party” with an open bar. This is how Nicole and Steven described their vision to me when we first met, and this was […]

Just a BIG PARTY! That was exactly what Cassandra and John wanted for their Wedding After Party at her parent’s home in Agua Dulce. Cassandra and John were actually married in Colorado on Wednesday of this week. The ceremony in the mountains was the “selfishly us” part of the whole experience as they described it. […]

When a couple who has known each other since the 2nd grade and who has been dating for 8 years plans an epic wedding, you know it’s going to be a grand event! The setting was the beautiful Blomgren Estate, where these two love birds saw what they considered their dream wedding there years before. You […]

I met Elyse and Andrew through a mutual group of friends. It’s funny how you can have a mutual group of friends and never really meet and get to know certain people within that group. However, sitting down with these two for the first time was like catching up with old friends. I’ll never forget […]

A true Earth Wind & Fire Day wedding only comes along once every few years. (Once every seven years for it to happen on a Saturday.) Karla and Douglas wanted to create a Bohemian celebration that encompassed their personal style of romance and elegance with a pinch of tradition from Karla’s big Mexican family (as […]

I was introduced to Chelsea and Drenan through their amazing event planner, Priscilla from Eyesome Events. From our first meeting over pie, I knew this wedding was going to be a sweet one! Meeting Chelsea’s parents, Aprille and Chuck, during the final planning meeting made me feel like I was already becoming a part of […]

Meeting Cate and Donald for the first time was like reconnecting with two old friends. We love so many of the same things, and it was easy to relate to each other and difficult to stop talking when we had to get down to planning their wedding. Yamashiro, overlooking all of Hollywood, was the spectacular […]

It was only a couple of months ago when I first met with Amber and James at his parent’s home in Castaic. Along with their vision for a romantic ceremony and a great celebration with lots of family and kids, Amber showed me photos on her phone of their dream of transforming the front yard […]

Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that can have the biggest impact in your life. Francesco told me he used to be a campus greeter at Woodburry University. It was his job to make everyone at school feel welcomed and the way he did that was to waive to everyone. He said Rebecca was the only […]

When I met with Vanessa and Zach the first time, we instantly hit it off. I knew their wedding would be legendary based on the fact that they told me they both had huge families who loved to dance. As the day grew closer, we got a little nervous, because rain was forecasted that weekend […]

Sometimes, the best laid plans of mice, men, brides, grooms, wedding planners, DJ’s, etc. can go awry and yet still turn out absolutely perfect. No one would have ever thought that a wedding planned for late May in Southern California would have any possibility of rain…but when a light sprinkle started falling during Briana and […]
