There’s something a little bit magical about weddings at Rancho Del Cielo, and Hiromi and Mitsuru’s day was no exception. They flew in from Japan to host a very intimate, sweet celebration with a small group of their dearest friends and family. Add in flowers by our beloved Megan of La Partie Events and desserts by the always adorable My Sweet and Saucy and the day looked as beautiful as it felt!



























It was a pretty gray evening when we met up with Hiromi and Mitsuru to do their engagement session just days before their wedding. Thankfully it’s exceptionally easy to find fun pops of color in Venice Beach! We were grateful for the chance to meet Hiromi and Mitsuru and get to know them a bit before their wedding. And wait until you see what they put together for their big day at Rancho Del Cielo! All kinds of pretty.
We have been excited for Rebecca & Austin’s wedding from the very first moments when we met with Rebecca and she described the eco-friendly and ultra-chic affair she and Austin were planning for their Big Day. From her invitations and place cards made of birch wood, to her Adele Wechsler Eco-Couture dress, to simple but elegant florals, to making sure that every single item was either recycled or reused several times throughout the day, it was all gorgeous and a huge success. But honestly, even if there hadn’t been a single detail for us to drool over, it was still an amazing day filled with heartfelt vows, hilarious toasts and lots and LOTS of crazy dancing. Rebecca & Austin, thanks so much for including us in your awesome day!

Remember when I got to photograph Ashlee and Jon’s engagement (like, their *actual* down-on-one-knee-engagement!) earlier this summer? Well, a couple of weeks ago they got married in Hawaii and swung by Los Angeles on their way home so I could photograph them in their wedding attire. Such fun! We really can’t say enough about how nice it is to do some wedding portraits *after* the big day, when there are no time constraints to worry about, just lots of newlywed bliss.
Ash and Jon, it’s been such an honor to be part of this special time in your lives – Thank you!
And thank you to our dear Megan Fickling of La Partie Events for creating a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for us at the last minute!
