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!

Many thanks to Abby LaDuke of Something Blue Wedding Company for seamlessly coordinating this fabulous day!

Wedding at St. Monica’s Catholic Church & Craft Restaurant, Santa Monica, CA

We are so thrilled to finally get to share the truly joyful wedding of Valerie & Michael…we have been looking forward to it for ages! Not only do we totally adore these two, but we knew we were gonna get some good eatin’! And, if you know us, you know we love to EAT! The sweet & emotional ceremony was at the stunning St. Monica’s Church and the reception was at the delicious Craft restaurant. Valerie & Michael wanted to make sure that their guests had a proper, family-style Craft meal and saved most of the traditional reception events until after dinner so that everyone could enjoy their meal uninterrupted. And once everyone’s bellies were full, the party began! The day was so intimate & warm and everyone had an absolute blast. Also, can I please say: Best. Vendor. Meal. EVER!

We’re also super excited to have this amazing wedding featured today over on one of our most favorite blogs, Style Me Pretty. Valerie got tons of inspiration from SMP & used a lot of their Little Black Book Vendors (us included!).

Kamden & Micah  Married at Rancho Capistrano!

Kamden & Micah are just the sweetest and we were so honored to be part of their very special wedding day. They were married at the South Shores Church by Micah’s father who is the pastor there and the reception was at the always lovely Rancho Capistrano. Kamden & Micah are very blessed to be loved and supported by so many wonderful family & friends. The day just glowed and Lindsey & I felt so honored to document this day for them.

Speaking of glowing…The day started out with some of the best getting ready light ever which is why you’ll now see about 5 pictures of Kamden getting into her dress. We just couldn’t help ourselves!
