Lily and James are all set for a new adventure – together they make the perfect pair! They got ready in a killer cool swag house managed bySamir Hannouche from Hannouche & Kang Architects, Inc. Everyone should get ready in a house like this!
The ceremony took place at Ocean Hills Community Church, which is a beautiful church hidden away on the main drag of Del Obispo in San Juan Capistrano. We then headed off to the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club for pictures and a magical outdoor reception! Southern California in the summer!
The DJ was Pete Goslow, who also plays classical guitar during the cocktail hour and specific points during the reception – something very unique that sets him apart! He was very creative and easy to work with.
Planning was done by Kristin Taylor of a {taylor made} wedding. We love her, she was so great!
What an emotional day filled with family and cheers! John Carlo and Christina got ready at their family homes and then headed to St. Ephraim Syric Orthodox Church in Burbank. Then the 500+ guests joined them for a huge night of dancing and laughter at Ararat Home in Mission Hills. This is a very in depth highlight reel, so have fun learning about them and watching the magic unfold! What a great bridal party!
You are in for a treat. When you watch this video, you are going to see actual true love, love at first sight – AND you will witness a genuine angel. Kim and Marcus met at Circle Bar and he knew instantly he would marry her. Fast forward six years and we have this stunning wedding! Kim and her bridesmaids got ready at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The ceremony took place at the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church, and the reception at the massively tasty Melisse Restaurant in Santa Monica. Beverly Hills was so busy that day we had to shoo the tourist busses away from the curb in front of the church for the limo to park!
The coordination was done by the famous and fabulous Alexandra Rembac from Sterling Engagements.
Melissa and Doug had a wedding we can all love! David went to film school with Doug and he is one of our film editors! A wedding from the family! We think that the song we used for the structure of the highlight really embodies the feelings of the day and how these two people who are truly supportive care about one another. We started off at the Marina del Rey Marriott. Then we headed off to the First United Methodist Church in Santa Monica and ended up on the roof of the Marriott for a crazy sunset reception.
Enjoy!
What a great time we had at Lydia and Roberto’s wedding! We started at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, headed to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Orange and ended at a place we’ve been to a few times recently, the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. Enjoy their highlight reel!
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!
It was a blessing to get to know Rory and Angela. They were a referral from another of our just gorgeous couples, Joanne and Andrew from a few years ago. After getting ready, their ceremony took place at the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Pomona – which was just huge! It is a classic church with creaky wooden floors, perfect stained glass and great acoustics. Then we moved to a modern reception venue to hold the gigantic crowd – the Diamond Bar Center! Rory and his guys playing football was classic, as well as how much Angela’s bridesmaids care for her!
Enjoy!
This was amazing! Filming a wedding the day after Christmas was like opening another great big present of love and laughter! We got work with our favorite priest once again, Monsignor Lloyd Torgerson from Saint Monica’s. Mostly, we were there to help make something great for two lovely, amazing people who deserve so much joy and happiness in the years to come!
This wedding was also exciting because of all the work that Jessica put into the centerpieces, decorations, candles and theme. Jessica and Edward even went so far as to commission a painting to be painted live at the reception by Agnes Csiszar Russo. She started with just the room and added faces as the night went on. Wow, I wish we would have known about this when we got married! So cool, check it out!
Two days, two cultures, parties and family celebrations from morning to night – sounds like another Charles Lauren Films weekend! This highlight shows the great time we had with Kristen and Arvin – and we were very amazed to learn that their family owns Shershah’s Indian Restaurant in Marina del Rey, which we go to all the time! What a coincidence!
