Gilda & Evan  Wedding at the Diamond Bar Center

Gilda & Evan were married at the lovely Diamond Bar Center, the second of our many, many weddings that we had in October. They have been waiting patiently to see photos from their super fun day so we won’t keep them waiting much longer, but we do want to say a huge “Thank you!” to the wonderful Catherine Cindy Leo who coordinated the day. And now, on to Gilda & Evan!

 

Congratulations, Gilda & Evan!

Nicole & Vahram  Engagement session in Malibu

Remember a couple of weeks ago when it was freakishly hot in LA? That’s when we shot Nicole and Vahram’s engagement session. April and I were sweaty disasters, but somehow Nicole and Vahram managed to stay beautiful. Thanks, guys, for being such good sports, despite the heat and the bugs!

 

These next two were shot in a parking lot!  I love it when we find little sweet spots in unexpected places.

Caroline & Mario  Married at MountainGate Country Club

We wish we could have been guests at Caroline and Mario’s MountainGate wedding because there were SO many fun little details for the guests throughout the day. Caroline and Mario and their adorable wedding party performed an awesome dance during their entrance into the reception, there were sparklers galore, and (YUM!) a cotton candy machine!

Mario wrote his vows to Caroline on a giant paper heart.  So sweet.

Cotton candy machine + gorgeous long wedding dress that becomes a really fab short wedding dress = wedding WIN!

Caroline and Mario, your wedding was SO FUN!  Best wishes for many equally wonderful years to come!

Ingrid & Tim  Married at Rancho Los Cerritos

We’ve been bursting at the seams to show you Ingrid and Tim’s wedding at Rancho Los Cerritos. You may remember their really awesome engagement session that we photographed in a junkyard last spring. Well, we had a feeling after that shoot that Ingrid would be pulling out all the stops for her wedding style and decor, and we were spot on – as were all her amazing details! But the thing we’ll remember most about this wedding was how Ingrid was absolutely beaming all day about marrying her sweetheart. Ingrid and Tim, we wish you many years of such happy days!

Ingrid (along with her friends and family) handcrafted so many of the details for the wedding themselves, but there were also many, many vendors who brought this day to life. We’re going to list just a smattering here, but be sure to check out the feature Wedding Chicks did on this wedding to see the full list of vendors.

Mustache Cuff Links: The CufflinkMaker

 

Ingrid made Tim shave his mustache for the wedding, so she got him these awesome cuff links to make up for it!

I am in love with the yellow burlap!  It brought so much color and texture to the tables.

Tim did a killer rendition of “Kiss” by Prince!
