Casa Del Mar // Santa Monica // Wedding Highlights

Here is a flashback to Monee and Mena’s wedding – Harvard friends, Los Angeles lovers, smart and sexy all around! We start at her house, then to St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church and then the beach of Santa Monica and Casa Del Mar for a seriously luxury reception. Check out that lighting! This was their Same Day Edit.

Pictures from “Crash Course For Your Website”

We had a great time at the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC-GLA) workshop called “Crash Course for your Website.” It was taught by David Ephraim and Josh Goodman from ATAK Interactive Web Design. It was organized by Alexandra Rembac from Sterling Engagements. There was a Sweets Buffet by Little Spoon Desserts. The interactive workshop took place at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills. Really good food, by the way! Here are some pictures of the location, attendees and the speakers on our Facebook Page!

Adrienne + Timothy // Biltmore – St. Brendan – Disney Concert Hall – Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

This is THE Los Angeles wedding. The best locations, best cast, best set design and best story. If you watch this highlight reel, you will know Adrienne and Timothy. You will love them, you will understand how they met, who they are, the kind of family they have, and the amazing life ahead of them!

Set at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, St. Brendan Catholic Church, the Disney Concert Hall and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, this wedding film is out of control!

Also featured were the Paulist Choristers singing Simple Gifts, David’s favorite song.

With the help of the County of Los Angeles and a kind priest playing matchmaker, these two amazing people are beginning a journey that will mesmerize and delight.

After a lifetime of searching, he turns and says, “today is the day of my dreams, and so it is.”

Cheers – David and Kelsey

To Love, Life + Happy Endings // Cherish + John // 3.6.2010

Okay everyone, this wedding was super fun! John and Cherish are two remarkable people and we fell in love with them right from the start. It could be because they are kindred spirits, John being an editor and Cherish loving movies or that people who get married in March are just fantastic people in general! In case anyone forgot- David and I got married in March. ;-) Mostly however, as usual – it is the couple and the people around them that make the story of the wedding day. Their families had flown in from all different parts of the states and everyone was under one roof for one moment in time, looking their best and experiencing one of life’s great moments in time. This is what love is. So please enjoy!
