Valerie & David married!



What a special wedding. I am a huge fan of Valerie & David.
Just take a look at the gorgeous details of their beautiful wedding. Valerie loves coffee as much as I do so I was in love when she requested a gourmet coffee cart to be on hand at their reception.
They had a large guest count which allowed the use of the entire first floor of the club- which made it feel the entire club belonged to Valerie & David. The main ballroom was romantic in nature with a huge bay window, fireplace, and gorgeous wood floors. We had dinner & the key dances in there. The ballroom across the way lent itself to the major dancing. It had the funky lights, bar, & popcorn machine. Between the two ballrooms was a room we turned into a coy living area for the kids. We stocked up on crayons, books, & such & the kids (& some adults) hunkered down on the couches & had a ball. Each dining table had a small pale of chalk to guests could write on their table # chalk board. Valerie is a tennis enthusiast which makes the tennis court photos extra special. Oh, one of the songs in their ceremony was the "Double Rainbow" song. Google or YouTube it. It was also discretely played in their prelude music. It's just an example of one of the numerous ways Valerie & David personalized their day.
Valerie originally hired me for day-of services but after a while decided the partial package would be more beneficial to her. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with her & getting to know the both of them.
As always, I love working with Russell & Emily Snider of Snider Photo & Design. We actually first worked with each other at this venue. Also, Tweeny, from the Flower Lab played a huge role in the success of Valerie & David’s wedding day. Terrific Tweeny.

Linda & Jase (heart)

Linda & Jase were married at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. I think of her as my Anthropology girl because she always had the most stylish outfits. They based their wedding details from the movie "You've Got Mail". You'll notice the mailboxes & mock letters. I still have one of the favors. Linda hand-made these beautiful envelopes & stuffed them with yummy treats. Linda actually made most of her decor, such as the bunting. They also have really talented friends who contributed with the photo booth wall & cake topper. The day began with a beautiful tea ceremony. Afterward,
Carolyn Leal, their officiant, created a spot-on ceremony that depicted their personalities & made everyone smile. Jenny & her team at  Alders Photography provided the beautiful images. Talk about a tremendous photographer to work with....
Thank you, Linda & Jase, for your kindness, amazing style, & allowing me to work with you. I will continue to pester you long after your wedding day :-)...

our musical couple

One of our favorite weddings, this summer, was Annie & Marcus'. You most likely have heard their sweet melodies on tv or here on the internet or some other form of media. If you haven't, it's absolutely worth your time to check out their site.



These two are the depiction of creativity, class, & love. Little & Ashley's tunes are so sweet & catchy. A pure joy to our ears. Regarding their wedding, we cannot even begin to describe our adoration for their personal wedding details.- Fun & charming....& GREAT music!
