Orcutt Ranch Wedding, Ranch Wedding, Yellow Themed Wedding, Young Love

On Louriz and Miguel’s first date, he took her to a Barnes & Noble. Being a book lover, Louriz was impressed. Everything was going great, until he picked up Twilight. Their relationship has been full of quirky memories like that, and in spite of Miguel’s taste in books Louriz had fallen deeply in love. Come see how their big day unfolded, full of laughter, tears, and warm memories.

Much love and congratulations to the happy couple! Thank you, Augusto, for putting us together!

Stefanie and Francisco have more than their fair share of astounding qualities: they’re both intelligent, creative, down-to-earth, compassionate, worldly, and I had a sneaking suspicion they would know how to throw a mad awesome party. Where do I start? Wedding timelines written for all to see on butcher paper? Genius! Detailed and whimsically decorated chalk signs? Yes! Elaborate bouquets and boutonnieres handmade by the bride? Wow. Backyard games to entertain guests? Check. An umbrella dance, where guests throw streamers over an umbrella, under which the couple is slow dancing? So romantic! And quite possibly, a thousand cranes. This eclectic and fun-filled celebration is a wedding after my own heart, where fun, friends, and family definitely dominated the theme of the day.

Venue: Private Residence, San Fernando Valley

Bouquets and Boutonnieres: handmade by the talented bride, herself!

All Saints Church, Backyard BBQ, Langham Luncheon, Same Sex Wedding

Jennifer and Leslie had woven their lives together long before the day they actually tied the knot. The celebration started with an intimate backyard BBQ, catching up with their dearest friends and family while the gorgeous dusk light set in. The next day, Jennifer and Leslie were married at the beautiful All Saints Church in Pasadena. Afterwards, the wedding weekend continued on the Tap Room patio of the Langham. I would say that every moment was spent with someone who meant something to these two, but I’ll let the photos do the talking.
