Jenna & her bridesmaids got ready at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes. I can’t think of a more beautiful resort right her in Los Angeles. Every time I’m there I feel like I was transported to Cabo San Lucas. One of these days I’m going to treat myself to a weekend away. Until then I get to live vicariously through my brides :) Jenna & her girls looked AMAZING!
More to come of Jenna & Nick’s La Venta Inn wedding soon!





I’m so excited to blog Part 2 of Michele and Kurt’s wedding. The reception was amazing!!!! I’ve done quite a few weddings at La Venta and the details for this reception were by far my favorite. I’m so in love with the lanterns that were hanging from the rafters! The long tables, candles and floral decor gave such a romantic mood and were perfect for a rainy day. The rain did not keep this party down. It was such a great day to cozy up with someone you love! What a perfect feel for a wedding day :) I loved watching Michele & Kurt dance the night away with friends & family!


These long tables looked amazing at La Venta! Meghan did such a great job with the details while I was shooting the portraits! She’s amazing!


I love the candles that Beth hung from the rafters! They were such a special touch!

I love how happy they look during the grand entrance!

Kaoru and Patrick had a fabulous wedding at the La Venta Inn. The details were amazing! From her bright blue high heels to the pink floral centerpieces, every detail had so much thought put into it. It was simple, vintage and romantic. The day was beautiful!!! Kaoru looked stunning!
