Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography | Westlake Village, Santa Barbara

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing wedding for the extremely talented Meghan Aileen.  This was such a beautiful wedding mixed with modern details and rich in tradition.  The getting ready and reception was held at the Pasadena Westin hotel.  The church and portraits were taken at the neighborhood church in Pasadena.  My favorite part was the lion dance!  There is nothing like experiencing your first lion dance with a face full of lettuce!!!! I loved it!

Here are some more of my favorite details to give you some inspiration for your wedding!  I love anything that is unique and thoughtful.  I love those personal touches!

It’s wedding season and brides all over are planning their weddings. I thought I’d blog some of my favorite wedding details shots of 2009.  I love all the details!!! The dress, the shoes, the flowers, centerpieces, rings and more… luv it!!!!  I really appreciate all the thought and time that goes into picking out the details and what a representation their personal style.  As you can see they are all so beautiful and all so different. Pick something that makes you love and makes you feel fabulous!

Tune in tomorrow for part II!

Alyssa and Jeff’s also got a lot of press this year. The wedding was held at Eucalyptus Lane in Ventura.  This venue is amazing! It features an old barn that has been restored and decorated with old vintage antiques inside. The garden outside is full of romantic wildflowers.  This amazing wedding was featured on Brenda’s wedding blog, Forever in the details, Happy Go Lucky Weddings, and weddingbee.

I second shot this amazing wedding for Meghan Aileen at the amazing Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.  It was such a beautiful day.  I just love the Terranea resoert.  I felt like I was in Cabo for a destination wedding. The hotel is just as chic on the inside as the ocean views are gorgeous!

Here’s Barbara & Jason’s fabulous Caribbean destination wedding slideshow! Enjoy!

Barbara and Jason’s wedding was amazing!!! The ceremony and reception were at the San Juan Ritz Carlton.  What a perfect tropical destination beach wedding. The weather was perfect and the wedding was right on the beach.  I love taking the bridal party into the palm trees for some portraits.  The pink ginger and birds of paradise bouquets were gorgeous!  Since Jason’s a pilot the grand exit was full of paper airplanes.  What wedding reception wouldn’t be complete without a game of corn hole?
