Stephanie & Joseph married!

These hot cocoa shots were mesmerizing, ha ha. I want one, now.

Carrie McCluskey is the incredible photographer behind these shots. Stephanie & Joe celebrated their wedding at the Ayre's Hotel in Manhatten Beach. What a beautiful couple.
Thank you for the photos, Carrie!

Newly married!

After a couple of concerned emails from photographers, I noticed I do a horrible job of posting photos from our weddings. I am vowing to do a much better job of this in 2011.
Over the next week, I hope to catch up & post some fun, gorgeous photos of recent weddings. I guess I figure I will get around to it & then with my family, meetings, etc..., weeks end up flying by before I actually sit down & take in the fabulous images. Crummy, I know. I need to showcase the dedication (of all involved) that goes into such beautiful events.

Below are images from Kelly & John's Bel-Air Bay Club wedding, captured by the uber-talented/creative Cameron Ingalls.

Kelly designed her centerpieces.

Fabulous.

Man, the weather was interesting that day! She looks so chic, regardless.

John designed the candy bar.

A word from Kaci!

My girl, Kaci, is my rock when we coordinate weddings together. Since her debut at team H&B, she has grown tremendously without losing a single spark of her spunk & enthusiasm. She is now rocking her own weddings as the main coordinator so I figured it's time for her to share her thoughts on here.

From Kaci:

Even after I’ve witnessed so many weddings, one part still gets to me every time!  I get goose bumps when every single bride walks down the aisle.  Think about it…it is a perfect moment, and there are so many elements that make that moment unforgettable.  Of course, there is the bride herself.  From her amazing wedding dress (which is custom made to match each bride’s personality) to her hair and makeup, she is the definition of beauty.  On the other end stands the groom, who looks so proud waiting for his future to get to him!  Then, there are all of the friends and family that are on their feet with over flowing excitement for the couple.  Wait…don’t forget about the flowers, bridesmaid’s dresses, tuxedos…and the list could go on and on.  When it all comes together, every element compliments each other.  Why shouldn’t this moment stand out?  It is the first second of the rest of their lives together!!
