Ingrid & Tim  Married at Rancho Los Cerritos

We’ve been bursting at the seams to show you Ingrid and Tim’s wedding at Rancho Los Cerritos. You may remember their really awesome engagement session that we photographed in a junkyard last spring. Well, we had a feeling after that shoot that Ingrid would be pulling out all the stops for her wedding style and decor, and we were spot on – as were all her amazing details! But the thing we’ll remember most about this wedding was how Ingrid was absolutely beaming all day about marrying her sweetheart. Ingrid and Tim, we wish you many years of such happy days!

Ingrid (along with her friends and family) handcrafted so many of the details for the wedding themselves, but there were also many, many vendors who brought this day to life. We’re going to list just a smattering here, but be sure to check out the feature Wedding Chicks did on this wedding to see the full list of vendors.

Flowers: Holli Do

Groom’s Suit: Hugo Boss

Ingrid made Tim shave his mustache for the wedding, so she got him these awesome cuff links to make up for it!

I am in love with the yellow burlap!  It brought so much color and texture to the tables.

Tim did a killer rendition of “Kiss” by Prince!

Rachel & David  Married at Café Pinot, Los Angeles

Rachel & David were married at one of our favorite locations, Café Pinot in downtown LA, on one of the hottest, but most joyful, days of the summer so far. For Rachel & David it was all about the celebration of their love and they got the party started straight out of the gate. After a quick portrait session at the new downtown Ritz-Carlton (and a quick stop in a pigeon infested alley…eek, but totally worth it!), the day for Rachel, David and their guests actually started with the cocktail hour. Genius! Rachel & David were able to connect with their guests right from the start, cool down with a chilled drink, exchange their emotional vows and party into the night. Rachel was stunning in not one, but TWO amazing dresses (starting with a slinky Nicole Miller and surprising David as she walked down the aisle in a sparkly Reem Acra) and David couldn’t take his eyes off of her all night. These two are smitten with one another and their love just glows. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off of our own faces!

Here are some of our favorite images from the day:

 

Congratulations, Rachel & David! We are so honored to have been part of your amazing day!

Jackie & Neal  Engagement session in Marina Del Rey

We’ve had a string of cold, gray engagement sessions lately, which in theory could be getting bothersome, but we thought the gray skies were sort of perfect for Jackie and Neal’s engagement session since it gave the images a very northeastern look. Jackie and Neal live on the east coast, and Neal has his own very cool sailboat, so a little New England vibe to these pictures is only appropriate.

 

Jackie & Neal, we look forward to seeing you again next month in Santa Ynez!
