A few of Eric and Lina’s vendors were really great and we thought we should share.

-Wedding Coordinator – Lana Meadows {714.749.8368}.  There were so many beautiful details that made this wedding so unique and such a perfect reflection of the bride and groom.  This could have only been done with such an awesome coordinator.
-Videographers- Side by Side Video. They are another husband/wife team and literally took video footage the entire day.

-Mobile D.J. Service, Bill Child {562.858.5003}.  He was unreal and was one of the best DJ’s we have ever heard.  He does it the old school way with turn tables and all!

-Bridesmaids Dresses- H&M

-Brides Gown- Marry Me Bridal

-The location… well that was a private estate… and it seemed as though it was designed to host weddings.  Every detail about the location was beautiful and really allowed the guest along with the bride and groom to simply enjoy the wedding.

Their first dance as “Mr. and Mrs.” …

Maybe it’s because we were starving, but the crepes by Crepes Bonaparte were delicious!  They served both dinner and dessert crepes made to order.

Congratulations Eric and Lina!  Thanks for allowing us to be a part of capturing your beautiful wedding day!

When we met Eric and Lina back in February, we had no idea we were about to meet such an awesome couple who would become our friends… not just clients.  From what we had heard about the wedding, we knew it was going to be amazing, but we were blown away by the beauty of the day.  The bride, Lina is from Denmark and thus, several Danish traditions were incorporated into the wedding day.   By the end of the evening, we decided we definitely want to put Denmark on our list of “must-travel-to” locations.

We decided to publish a long post of Eric and Lina’s wedding, so all the friends and family back in Denmark could get a glimpse of their beautiful day.  Be sure to check back tomorrow for {part II}!

Love the emotion of their “first look”…

The first time they were announced as “Mr. & Mrs”….

Anthony and Nikki have such a unique and amazing story.  They were once married to each other, had a son together and later ended up getting a divorce.  After 2 years of being separated and some time spent in counseling, they are in love and ready to recommit their lives to one another.   The wedding was a beautiful intimate wedding on the beach with just their closest friends and immediate family.  Congratulations Anthony and Nikki on a beautiful story of restoration!

We have a couple of weddings we are working on editing and will be posting really soon, but we just had to share a few of Eric and Lina’s wedding.  It was absolutely beautiful and we are excited to share more of there amazing day.  For now, here is a glimpse into their beautiful day…

When Lucia called us from Utterly Engaged, we were more than excited to jump at the opportunity to work with her and the Utterly Engaged team.  She had an amazing idea of styling a wedding using a dress for inspiration.  One of our favorite details of her design were the cakes that were made to resemble the bride and bridesmaids dresses.  The entire shoot came out even better than we could have imagined and took place at the newly renovated Hotel Maya in Long Beach.

In addition, last week we received an email from one Utterly Engaged and found out we were going to be featured as a “Fresh New Vendor”.  Seriously, we were blown away.  Thank Lucia and the Utterly Engaged team for being so wonderful to work with and so encouraging!

Last weekend, we photographed Ryan and Stephanie’s wedding which took place on the cliffs over looking Laguna Beach.  It was such a sweet intimate wedding and a wonderful celebration of their relationship.   They dated for four years and it was so apparent how excited they were to finally be getting married.  Congratulations Ryan and Stephanie!

Last weekend, we were able to second shoot with Jeff Wallace at Ryan and Alyssa’s wedding.  It was a beautiful wedding located at the La Casa Del Camino.  Ryan and Alyssa were such a fun couple to photograph and she was a beautiful bride!
