Elizabeth’s Bridal Shower at Tea Rose Garden

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

Elizabeth recently celebrated her bridal shower at Pasadena’s Tea Rose Garden. There is something about English high tea that is so darling. Oh, right. The lush garden setting, the adorably intricate teacups, dressing up with a cute hair accessory, and being around friends and family over a cup of tea and finger sandwiches. What’s more, there was an addition of an awesome desert bar with teacup-shaped cakepops and an ornate cake. I absolutely love the little details that went into Elizabeth’s bridal shower decor!

Games and festivities coincided at various times during the event like ‘What’s on the Apron’, and which envelope included a photo of her fiance. Her fiance did make a surprise appearance towards the end of the party, and everyone started to play the ‘He Said, She Said’ game.

Annette’s Bridal Shower

STEVENSON RANCH, CALIFORNIA

After working with Annette for Confetti by Annette’s 2014 lookbook, I was excited to hear that she is getting married in Paris later this spring! What an amazing location to have a wedding!!!

For her Los Angeles bridal shower, Annette’s bridesmaids held a backyard party that is just so picturesque. I LOVE shooting bridal showers because it’s just a bunch of girls having fun while being surrounded by such pretty things! Of course, that’s not to say that there aren’t some tears being shed, as you’ll see in this post!

Josephine’s Dohl Celebration

KOREATOWN, LOS ANGELES

Josephine is such an adorable little girl! When she had her dohl birthday party to celebrate turning one, she wore a cute blush-colored sparkly princess dress that matched her big sister. I love when sibling’s outfits match!

The family held Josephine’s birthday party at her grandmother’s Korean restaurant in Koreatown called Yongsusan. There were many little ones running around, enjoying the festivities and playing with the birthday girl, who was just full of smiles!

Sanam’s Backyard Bridal Shower

STEVENSON RANCH, CALIFORNIA

In a wedding, there are so many milestones in and of itself. There’s the proposal, the wedding dress hunt, the wedding planning, the bachelor(ette) parties, etc. etc. And then there’s the bridal shower. The bridal shower, where the bridesmaids host a party in honor of the bride, is what I happen to photograph a couple of weeks ago for a sweetheart of a bride name Sanam.

Taking place in her mother’s home, who was also one of the hosts, this intimate bridal shower was decked out in beautiful floral bouquets, stringed lanterns, homemade food and a delectable cake made from their family-owned bakery!

As the event progressed, food was eaten, games were played, but little did Sanam know a surprise was waiting for her. In the middle of opening some beautifully wrapped presents, a knock on the door occurred. One of her bridesmaids opened it, and in waltz her fiancé! If Sanam’s face was smiling before, her face was just lighting up like a Christmas tree at that moment!
