{40's inspired shoot | wedding| styled shoot | beverly hills}

You guys remember the post we did on our feature on Green Wedding Shoes a couple weeks ago, if you didn't get a chance then check it out now. Here are a few more images from the shoot. I can't describe how happy this lovely styled shoot made me. It was my dream wedding. I even tried to get Aldo to marry me right then and there, lol. Needless to say he wasn’t going for it, lol.

So much thought and detail went into this fabulous shoot from the coca-cola station, to the game lounge, the love notes to the couple, the vintage floral containers, not to mention the styling of the beautiful couple! And it all turned out more fabulous than I could have ever dreamed up!

I adore the details, plus I got to work with some of my favorite people. The vintage picnic and games was a stunning idea by A Stunning Affair and the florals by Peony and Plum, oh my goodness, the florals were breathtaking. Found Rentals was so generous in collaborating with us. For those who haven't been to her warehouse, be careful, it is a little slice of heaven and very easy to get taken in by all the amazing finds. NunnBetter Design did an amazing job, as always, styling the couple. So elegant, classic and a perfect fit for the theme. A big thanks to Winnie Couture for the gorgeous dress, Kutting Room and Makeup by Grace for making our models even more beautiful! How adorable is the cake from Fantasy Frosting! It was such an honor to work with such a fabulous and talented team. Thanks everyone for your hardwork.

{laurie + brad | wedding | orange county}

I felt so honored when Gianna of Chic Celebrations asked me if I would photograph her Dad's wedding. Well, of course I would. I love Gianna and after just a few moments with her family my heart opened to them as well. Laurie and Brad have been sweethearts for years and finally decided to have a small intimate ceremony making it official. These two are so in love and you can see it through the images. I had such a wonderful time capturing their laughs, love and tenderness. Brad and Laurie go hiking along these trails at Reef Point almost every weekend and thought it would be a delightful spot to say their "i do's". What a perfect day, with a perfect view for such a perfect couple. Even though Brad and Laurie hike here often, they couldn't get enough of the view (and the birds, they love the birds, lol). Wanting to keep it small, intimate and low key they invited their closest friends and family to the ceremony and a small reception dinner held at Patril Bistro. Heavenly Blooms created the beautiful floral arrangements that were a perfect match for this small, quiet, elegant, and classic wedding and Gianna of course stepped it up with her fabulous event coordination. Thank you so much for having us part of such a special day. We truly enjoyed the day.

{styled shoot | wedding | black and white glam}

This amazing shoot was styled by Kristeen LaBrot Events. Read her view behind the inspiration and collaboration from the shoot: "The bride's gown from Winnie Couture was an explosion of soft, billowy tulle. Her black satin Prada shoes were to die for. The necklace and bracelet was from Margaret Rowe, a designer of vintage couture jewelry. Sunny from Susie Chhuor made our bride look timeless with her classic red lips and soft updo. Our black to white gradient ruffle cake, from Superfine Bakery, consisted of towers of frilly fondant. We wanted the table to look romantically deconstructed -- layers upon layers of different textured fabric were used to create the perfect canvas for the swirly candlesticks which lined the table. Enchanted Garden's lush floral arrangements of anemones, ranunculus, roses and hydrangea spilled off the front of the table. The gauzy chair covers from Wildflower Linens accented the sleekness of the Chameleon Chairs. "Bride" and "Groom" were written by Calligraphy Katrina on mirrored charger plates for an extra touch of high glam. The place setting was topped off with gorgeous china, a calligraphed menu and a feathered napkin treatment."

It was such a pleasure collaborating and working with all the wonderfully talented vendors involved. Thank you so much to everyone for producing this beautiful shoot.
