597_LR_Vivian Lin Photo_4950There are people I’ve known in my own life who have been singular, artistic, and independent souls.  Lauren is one of them.  I’ve known Lauren since Jr. High, and was so sincerely happy for her when she met the man of her dreams.  This is no cliche.  Ralf is tall, handsome, Brazilian, and one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time.  They rocked their Dia de los Muertos themed wedding at the legendary Boardner’s club in Hollywood.  All the details are overflowing with DIY personal style, mostly handcrafted by Lauren and her crew of talented friends, it’s sort of unbelievable.  I’ll just let the photos do the talking!

Mr C's Beverly Hills_Vivian Lin Photo_01One of the things I love most about my job is getting to see how weddings reflect the unique style and taste of each distinct couple.  Lisa and Youchan are urban sophisticates.  Black, white, and minimalist (like their engagement session: A Modern and Monochrome Engagement Session posted back in October)  They chose Mr. C in Beverly Hills for it’s killer view and modern twist on a nautical theme.  I loved the red accents in the room that lent a pop of bold color to Lisa’s details.  Oh, so much to feast your eyes on from this wedding!  Lisa’s dramatic veil, the ADORABLE kids, the gorgeous colors of the mothers’ hanbok, and of course, that rooftop view!
