Wayfarers Chapel Wedding Photography

When Holly emailed us in June 2010 that she had seen a friend’s engagement pictures on our Facebook page, I thought, wow, this Facebook thing works! (who knew?)
But even more exciting was the fact that we adored Holly and Mike and we knew that their wedding would be as fun as the two of them are together.
This day was full of laughter and lots of pit stops on the Redondo Pier for snacks and games.
You guys are so cute together and we were so honored to be a part of your day!

I wanted it badly. I really connected with this couple. They are so my peeps.
I now know that Alice and I are going to stay friends forev.

She’s an interior designer, and a good one at that (she helped me pick tons of stuff for the new casa de next exit!)
There were endless wedding details. Come on magazine/blog editors. Who is going to scoop this one up!?

Shutters on the Beach Wedding Photography

I remember meeting Whitney’s mom and dad in February 2010 so clearly. So lovely, warm, I adored Rich and Judy. The wedding couple lived out of state – Chicago – to be exact, but we knew straight away that we were a good fit.
Then, we met the adorable pair in March for their peachy beachy engagement session.
7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen made for a fabulous wedding day at the exquisite Shutters on the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica last October.
It was there that we met wedding planner of all things, Ms. Allyson Levine, from Bob Gail Events, who has since become one of our BFFs. She rocked this wedding in every way.
