You know you have that friend who is just so full of kindness, that brightens every room they walk into, that greets everyone they meet with genuine warmth? Floria is that kind of friend, tenfold :) Since I first met her years ago, she’s always been such a bright light in my life and is one of the sweetest people I know. I seriously always imagined her with a wonderful guy, but felt skeptical that someone could actually parallel her in terms of her kindness and big heart. Enter Roland :) The first time I met him, I couldn’t stop thinking HOW NICE HE WAS HE’S JUST SO NICE HOW COULD SOMEBODY ACTUALLY BE SO NICE?? Not just friendly, not just pleasant, but that kind of sincere and genuine kindness. The kind that brightens every room they walk into. The kind that parallels Floria’s. Together they are just such a perfect match, and the kind of couple that makes you feel so overjoyed that they found one another.

This day was filled with so many beautiful moments and I was beyond honored to be there to document it!

I remember leaving this wedding all smiles. It was one of those days where every little piece comes together so well, where there is so much positivity in every moment, where the day flows so effortlessly, that when it was time for me to pack up and go, I almost didn’t want to leave! It was something about the combination of an elegant seaside estate, a heartfelt ceremony, the sweetest collection of family & friends, an array of ombre bridesmaids dresses, a stellar team of vendors (thanks to Perfect Affairs Events, Juicebox Media, Kelly Zhang, and my awesome second shooter Diana!), and of course a fun and warmhearted couple.

I feel so blessed to have been there to document it and hope you enjoy these moments :)

Such a romantic summer wedding! Everything about this day was so dreamy, from the stunning venue, to the thoughtful details, to the amazing dinner spreads (think multiple stations serving sushi, roast beef & pastrami, three kinds of mashed potatoes, salads, tacos, and desserts of every kind), and wonderful cultural traditions tied in.

September has been quite the busy month for weddings and this was just the perfect one to kick it all off!
