I can’t help but smile when looking through Maya + Joe’s wedding images…these two are so incredible and sweet together. Their wedding was full of love, laughter, and tons of beautiful details! The day ran flawlessly with Shana Fu from East West Event Production coordinating the events and making sure all the details were perfect. The gorgeous dessert spread of cheesecake bites, tiramisu shot glasses, mini cupcakes by the super talented Sweet and Saucy Shop! Florals and dessert and vintage sign in table styling by the awesome team at Fleuretica I love their eye for design and the sweet vintage airplane over the dessert table! Their wedding took place in the courtyard at the Hyatt Valencia.  Maya’s hair was done by Symmetry Beauty and Make-up by Robyn Fisher

Sandy and Dave are such beautiful people. They are both wedding photographers themselves, and they picked one of my favorite Los Angeles venues, the Adamson House in Malibu, so we knew everything would be picture perfect! Between the serene ocean view, sunny Spring day, and the lovely and crisp yellow + white decor, the day was not only gorgeous, but an amazing celebration of their love! Here are just a few of my favorite images from the day….oh, and the delicious dessert display with cake lollipops and cupcakes was by Melody of Sweet and Saucy Shop! So delicious! Make-up by Devon Duff.

It was such a pleasure documenting Jordan + Josh’s wedding, and it was such a lovely + perfect day. They were married at The Ocean Institute in Dana Point, which is a gorgeous venue right next to the ocean. The amazingly talented Jesi Haack coordinated the day flawlessly, and her + her team created the flowers, table decor, fabric runners, and many other amazing details. Here are just a few of our favorites!

Karen + Howard are the sweetest couple and they have the cutest little pup! We had a blast at their engagement shoot, and we were blessed with amazing late afternoon light. I loved that Karen wore a vintage 70’s dress for their last outfit, which was her mother’s tea ceremony dress on her wedding day. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year!

For Next Exit Photography

We heart Laura + Mark! They are an amazing couple, totally in love, and two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and their wedding day was epic. You may remember them from their engagement session we shot in New York! There were a lot of unique details to their wedding, so I’ll try my best to list them all.  The wedding day started at The Standard hotel in Downtown LA, and then Laura was whisked to the church in a classic Rolls Royce. They  were married at The Church of the Angels in Pasadena - a gorgeous, ancient church with amazing stone and wood work and stained glass. Since Laura’s side is Mexican and Mark’s side is British, they made sure to incorporated their different backgrounds into their wedding day to make it a truly unique and personal wedding. There was a giant red Double Decker bus, mariachis, top hats, lucha libre masks, and British flags. On their exit from the church, their guest threw eco fetti, while mariachis played in the courtyard. Then the couple and the bridal party rode the Double Decker bus to a soda fountain shop for some sweet treats and then to Olvera Street for some photos. Their reception was held at the swanky Cicada in downtown LA, and right when we got there, we headed to the roof for some last minute sunset shots. Isaac and I had such a blast photographing their wedding - special thanks to Christen for coming out and helping document the wedding! Their wedding was coordinated by the uber talented Amanda of In The Now Weddings!
