A stunning affair at a private home on Point Dume. Arcelia and Aaron really let me have creative control on this one, but I did not have to do much with the already incredible setting.

LOVE the LOVE
Hi Helen,
I just want to thank you again for an amazing wedding you planned and executed for us. It was absolutely everything we could have hoped for. It all went down without a hitch...if there was one, I knew nothing of it. We were completely stress-free and able to enjoy every moment. You and your team were able to give us a beautiful wedding considering our very small and tight budget. All of our guests had an amazing time. Everyone loved the food, the music, the cake, the drinks...well, everything. I can go on and on about how great it all was. Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you as our wedding planner!!!!
Eternally Grateful,
Arcelia & Aaron Hynes
(and Amelia too)

Meet Michele and Ernesto!
I am so excited to introduce you to this awesome couple.
From the first day we met, Michele and I clicked on the exact view of her wedding. Even though we change things 100 times over, we are still on the same page with it all. Her style is modern and fun, and come next July it will be a stunning affair at The Malibu West Beach Club.
I asked Michele to tell me their love story in her own words.
The road to love is so sweet...
How did you two meet?
"Ernesto and I have know each other from High School. We had typing class together. As I was browsing through Facebook I came across his name and was interested on how he has been since it was 14 years since we had seen each other. We talked on the phone for hours at a time getting to know one another. From the 3rd date I knew he was the one for me".
How did he propose?
" We were going to repeat the first date for our 1 year anniversary. We went to Paradise cove to have a picnic with some great wine. While we were there I gave Ernesto a special photo album that had all the highlights of our year together. We looked through it and had some laughs and tears of joy. He then gave me a card that had the sweetest words and told me to look up at him and say that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I did and found him on his knee with the most amazing ring. Of course I said yes! We then cried celebrated the moment and told our family and close friends. By that time the birds ate all of our cheese and crackers, which was ok because I was so happy I couldn’t even eat. We ended the night at Geoffrey’s in Malibu for some champagne and then went to our sushi spot we went to on our first date."
In your opinion what makes love work?
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."

Love Is In the Air
I have to say there is something about the past week, where all I notice is LOVE all around me. In my work and in my life, it is so amazing when I meet two people who are so utterly in love that they want to share in the gift of marriage. I found just that with Stephanie and Diego, the new Mr. and Mrs. Cavenaghi had a heck of a time planning their wedding with me in a year, while living in Florida! Through the whole process I came to cherish this couple and the love they shared with all their friends and family. Love to them from us here at with Grace!
Have to share a few shots I grabbed that Sunday afternoon.
It was an incredible evening thanks to:
Carrie as always,
