Britany & Eric Married!


Where do I begin with Britany & Eric? I write this because these two are so darn special.
Their wedding was not that long ago but I already miss this bride. She did a heck of a job planning this grand affair while juggling a very demanding career. As you can see, this young couple has a distinct, classic taste with a bit of innocent charm - must be all of the pink.


love the pink uplights

This luxurious fabric is also material from her mother's gown.

a wondrous cloud of baby's breath!


I adore fun ring shots.

Yes, we encountered a lot of rain on this ceremonious day but the weather did not interfere one bit with the beauty, flow, fun, & love everyone experienced at Britany & Eric's wedding. It was a memorable one! It was such an  honor for me to witness the love Britany & Eric have for each other as well as the love within their families. I also cherished the opportunity to work at the prestigious Vibiana & get to know the wonderful people behind the scenes there. It was a thrill to work with Brandon at Couture Foto, as well. Enjoy these images & congratulations,
Britany & Eric!

jenna & jeff

My assistants & I were the ones throwing the petals - it was so fun!
Alright, so this is looooong over due. Jenna & Jeff were an absolute dream couple to work with.
I loved every single meeting & phone conversation with Jenna. I appreciated her distinct vision & her trust in me with my opinions & vendor recommendations.Their wedding contained so much personality that the aesthetic details were not necessary - just added bonuses.
Jenna & Jeff's favorite ice cream is Thrifty's Ice Cream so naturally they provided a Thrifty's ice cream bar at their reception. What fun it was for the guests to partake in the makings of their ice cream sundaes after their dinner. Our local Thrifty's shop even supplied us w/ their official scoopers, cups, & cones! Jenna & Jeff provided an entertaining video to provide some visual noise as a backdrop in their lounge area, adjacent to their Polaroid photo booth. This was Hustle & Bustle's first wedding at Los Angeles Country Club (recently discovered they are ranked one of the top 100 golf courses in the country - extra tidbit of info). The venue is amazing to work with. Imidiately following the wedding, their staff lined up long the pathway to the cocktail hour w/ trays of wine & signature cocktails for  guests to enjoy while strolling to the cocktail hour area. This is always smart to do to prevent long lines at the bar. After dinner, guests had the option to practice their putting skills on the putting green which was right next to the dance floor! It's so fun to reflect on their special day. The more I think about it, the more fun details start to flood my mind. The best part, for me, was just being able to witness this cute couple evolve from "recently engaged" to "happily married". What a memorable day to be a part of!!! Thanks, you two!

I got to work with some of my FAVE vendors!

Gold rimmed hammered glass chargers are always a fave of mine.





The last rows of the ceremony were decorated w/ strips of fabric. Looked so lovely.


Happiness.
