Meghan & Ben  Wedding at St. Steven’s Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Alhambra, CA

Meghan & Ben are college sweethearts and loyal UCLA alumni (see their UCLA engagement session here). We loved seeing the blue & yellow theme throughout the day and the sweet treat of Diddy Riese cookies at the end of the night. St. Steven’s is absolutely gorgeous and one of our favorite churches to photograph. It was extra special knowing that Meghan’s parents were married in the same church themselves and dinner was prepared by church members that have known Meghan & her family for many years.

Here are some of our favorite images from the day:

 

Such a gorgeous day! Congratulations, Meghan & Ben!

Leah & Simon  Wedding at the Hillside Club, Berkeley, CA

Leah’s blog was the very first blog I started reading, and the one I’ve stuck with the longest. I’ve cheered her on as she and Simon started dating, bought their first home together and welcomed their incredibly cute little boy. So when she emailed me earlier this year asking if April and I were available to photograph her wedding to Simon, the answer was a huge “Yes, ma’am!”

Their wedding at the Berkeley Hillside Club last weekend was a perfect reflection of their little family: Colorful, loving and full of laughter. Although I know Leah worked tirelessly to pull the wedding together in just a few months, on the day of, the results seemed effortlessly adorable and relaxed, like a (very pretty) Sunday picnic.

Sonia & Daniel  Married in Palos Verdes, CA

Sonia & Daniel have certainly set the bar high for our 2011 wedding season! They had not one, but THREE! phenomenal locations and we could not have asked for better weather for a January wedding. For Sonia & Daniel it was all about the views at the locations they chose for their special day. We started the morning at Terranea Resort where the clouds added extra drama to the already stunning backdrop, a sweet ceremony at the amazing Wayfarer’s Chapel and finally ending with gorgeous sunset at La Venta Inn for their reception. A spectacular day all around!

 

Congratulations, Sonia & Daniel!

Congratulations, Nicole & Vahram!  Best wishes for an amazing life together!
