Malibu Wedding_Y&S_Vivian Lin Photo_277Yuki and Steve eloped back in 2016, but wanted to renew their vows and share the joy with their closest friends and family.  They renewed their vows overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Yuki’s father flew all the way from Japan, and carried a photo of Yuki’s mother with him as he gave a moving toast.  Yuki and Steve even broke a barrel of sake to celebrate their marriage, and served shots to each and every guest.  We were starting to lose light when I asked Steve if there were any other group photos he wanted, when he spontaneously asked if we could get a photo with everyone.  Everyone?!  Ok, everyone!

Intimate Malibu Wedding_2015_Vivian Lin Photo_028Eunice and David wanted their special day to be less about them, and more about a wonderful celebration of family and friends.  So they opted to rent out a house on the water in Malibu for a whole week of parties and sleepovers, starting out with their intimate and no-fuss wedding.  With the Pacific as the backdrop as the sun set beyond the horizon, Eunice and David tied the knot, surrounded by the people who mattered most in their lives.  Afterwards, everyone feasted on catering by Joan’s on Third, laughing and dining at one long table on the picturesque patio.  Friends and family had flown in from all over the country, and one came all the way from Switzerland to join in the week of festivities.

It was such a wonderful success, a new tradition has begun and the couple plans to hold a get together once a year.  What a meaningful way to celebrate future anniversaries!

Weddings reflect the personalities of the couple getting married, and Marcus and Sally’s big day resonated with charm, intimacy, and class.  We loved capturing the sheer joy Marcus and Sally exuded whenever they were near each other, his eyes crinkling with glee and her eyes open and expressive with love.

When a hotelier and an executive chef get married, you know you’re in for a day where every detail lives up to the highest of standards.  Marcus and Sally chose the enchanting  Hotel Bel Air for their first look.  Not only do the grounds remind me of a secret garden, but it’s all the more endearing since this is where they first met.  They treated their guests to a stunning ocean view ceremony.  Afterwards, dear friends and family enjoyed a lounge style reception and were offered a sumptuous feast that included hand made German sausages by the acclaimed Chef Bernhard Mairinger (in honor of Marcus’s native homeland), an avant-garde cake made by Sally’s award winning mentor, Donald Wressell, just to name a few of the culinary delights.

Congratulations to Sally and Marcus!  Your love is inspiring!
