Jen and Jim’s Beach Wedding

locationSANTA MONICA & PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIFORNIA

The beach was amazing. The sky was blue, the breeze was cool, and Mother Nature was ready to celebrate Jen and Jim’s beach wedding. As the couple flew in from Sacramento, they both stayed at the beautiful Shutters on the Beach hotel located in Santa Monica, and got ready at the Presidential Suite (swoon!). Or at least, Jen did. And rightfully so, since women just need more space to get ready compared to men! *cough cough*

With their intimate guest lists, most who’ve traveled from all over the west coast, we made our way to Pacific Palisades Beach for Jen and Jim’s ceremony. It was such a beautiful ceremony, too. The waves swept in and out in front of the party as their wedding officiant, a long-time friend who became an officiant just for their wedding, unionized the couple. There was so much love that surrounded this couple.

For their reception, we came back to Shutters on the Beach to a room that just overlooks the beach at sunset. It was a spectacular view. The room was cozy and completely decked out in pink and white floral arrangements. Everyone was all in smiles, especially on the dance floor!

I love small and intimate weddings.. have I mentioned that before? And as Nathan and Marissa described their plans for their wedding – ceremony and reception taking place in a restaurant in Santa Monica – I had googley eyes! As we met over their engagement session, it became clear that a backyard type of wedding is just the perfect type for this couple.

Their wedding day arrived. Marissa looked beautiful with her hair neatly curled and her imported-from-Australia lace wedding dress while Nathan was ever-so-snappy in his navy colored suit and slicked hair. What’s more,  they opted to get ready together in the same hotel room, irregardless what superstition and tradition has been place. Rebels, I say!

And as their beautiful day goes on, the merry celebration of their union continues on to the late night under the dark L.A sky.

Jennie and Eng

locationMALIBU, CALIFORNIA

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of second shooting for Kien Lam Photography for the coverage of  Jennie and Eng’s wedding. It was such a gorgeous wedding, taking place in a dream location in the mountains of Malibu – Calamigos Ranch. Jennie looked so princess-like, as she wore a tiara, ballgown dress, and sparkly Christian Louboutin shoes. And Eng, I think he was pretty blown away when he saw his princess (soon to be queen) during their First Look!

Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:
