Reina & Mark's perfect sunset reception

For those of you who were in and around Malibu last night, You must have noticed how it felt like a July night, with the most perfect sunset!

For Reina and Mark the day could not have been nicer. The pair were married at St. Bernadine's Catholic church, followed by a reception at one of our favorite venues, The Malibu West Beach Club.

From the start of planning with these two, they really had a great sense of what they wanted. Mark, along with his entire family, are musicians. They went with a a live band set up for the music all night! It was great to see different people over and over get up and play any instrument that was provided.

The bride chose great grey, and pink tones for her colors. I just LOVE how they had personalized guitar picks for their guests!!

Pictures to come soon from the amazing Aileen Secord, but for now here are a few I shot


















Always wonderful to get to work at this venue, and with these great vendors!!

Thank you all for helping make this wonderful day come true for Reina and Mark

Once in a Lifetime

It is my pleasure to share with you the beauty that came out of two of the most amazing people I know. Sara and Branden's Oct Wedding was an incredible experience for me. In 6 short months Sara and I (with a little of Branden's help) made her lifelong dream come true. After nearly 10 years of dating these two tied the knot in perfect Sara and Branden Style! Branden proposed a year ago on Halloween, and the couple sure knew exactly how they wanted to incorporate it into their wedding. With their Jack and Sally cake topper, (from the nightmare before Christmas) white pumpkins, and fun Halloween candy for their guests, each and every detail was perfect and precise to what they wanted.
Starting the night with grilled cheese with tomato soup, and ending it with sliders, their guests had a blast not to mention the goodnight cracker jack boxes in their guests cars as a surprise when they left!
