Brittney and Joey held a super sweet celebration earlier this month. It was wonderfully relaxed, laidback and full of so much joy – as I was sorting through the photos, I realized how brightly Brittney and Joey were beaming in every.single.one! Brittney & Joey shared an emotion-filled First Look which gave us lots of time for fun bridal party and family photos before the ceremony, and enabled us to focus on romantics of the two of them afterwards (among the prettiest smattering of bougainvillea flowers, my favorite!)

The day unfolded beautifully and finished with a sparkler exit at the end of the night and a surprise Brittney’s brother put together for them – a classic Bentley, rented for a stylish getaway!

So cute & clever how the little flower girls had wands instead of a basket or flowers… such a unique idea and they loved their “magic wands”!

Brittney & Joey have 7 brother between them, all of which they included in the bridal party. Love this shot of Brittney & the guys:

We’re back from New York and I’ve been playing a mad game of catch up the past couple days! I have tons of photos to share from both the dreamy Central Park wedding & our own adventures around the city, but in the meantime, I’m super excited to share this lovely April wedding!

I first met with Kim & Danny on a summery evening last July, a meeting that turned into a 3-hour long conversation about their wedding, travels, food (sushi!), and beautiful relationship. There were points in our meeting where I almost teared up hearing their stories – of overcoming obstacles & hardships together, of their favorite memories – they unmistakably share one of the strongest and most unbreakable loves I’ve witnessed. I walked away afterwards SO excited to work with them and immediately proceeded to call Scott to gush about our meeting & the fantastic couple I had just gotten to know :)

Their spring wedding was elegant, romantic, & full of love, and the rustic Prado in Balboa Park was the perfect backdrop. Special thanks to Alicia of Bellini Events for flawlessly coordinating the day!

Kim is such a classic beauty…

I loved the bright flowers each bridesmaid wore in her hair…

… as well as their plethora of amazing red shoes!! If I could have one of each in my closet, I would be a happy gal :)

Heather & Joe were married in a beautiful wedding on Valentine’s Day, set against the backdrop of the Fallbrook hills. Although the holiday itself is already bundled up in an air of romance, it was an extra special day for them, since it marked the anniversary of their very first date a couple years back. The day was filled to the brim with love & emotion – I got a peek of it at their engagement session, but the love Heather & Joe share is truly something beautiful & special!

The details were perfectly inspired by the holiday – a playful pink palette, nostalgic boxed Valentine cards for guests to write messages on, “love” in different languages adorning the tables. The cherry on top was THE most amazing dessert table – heart-shaped donuts, lollipops, white-chocolate covered pretzels, teensy confetti heart candies – it was a feast for both the eyes & tummy!

A big shout out to the fabulous Alicia of In the Now – the day flowed absolutely perfectly & effortlessly thanks to her & her team! Having a good coordinator on your day is invaluable, and I could see how she covered every detail so Heather & Joe could relax 100% & enjoy the day :)

And Heather & Joe – thank you for allowing us to share in such an absolutely amazing occasion. I’m so happy our paths have crossed & feel so blessed to have witnessed your amazing love! Wishing you all the best for years to come!
