This couple is LA based and had a lovely and intimate destination wedding in New Mexico.
It was wonderful. To read more please click on the LA Times link

Pretty sure a picture says a thousand words, but for this one, I think is says a thousand ways to say “I Love You”.

Thank you Amber Events for putting together a beautiful and memorable wedding. More to come…

An incredible couple from this year, and the bride is a wonderful writer. With her new career taking off, she wrote me a snippet about her wedding. I love it and just want to share a bit to help other brides planning their wedding:
“Planning a wedding is hard.  Planning a wedding with no money is even harder. Planning a wedding with barely any money and working full time is painful.  I’ve put together some thoughts on each of these categories talking a little bit about the journey Adam (the groom) and I made while trying to do this with no idea how we’d pay for it and only the weekends to research.  When even the DIY projects or suggestions were becoming too costly, we became very lucky to finally have our parents help us and to find the hidden talents of our friends. Otherwise things could have been a LOT more difficult.  We feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such talented friends and loving family.  We managed to make an extremely tight wallet – less than even the cheapest research was budgeting – work for us and look like a $50,000 wedding.”

They didn’t have to pay extra for the rainbow. It was provided by all the extra stress of threatening rain clouds the entire first part of the day.

(No photoshop tricks or magic on this one… it was all in camera)

Here is just a taste of the loveliness.

Personalized hankie for the groom, doubled as a touching and practical gift. The bride used it several times to wipe happy tears.

The overlooked moments that get missed when the guys are preparing for the wedding. SO handsome…

A perfectly backlit entrance for the bride.

The perfect wedding kiss.

Congrats you two… check back for all the lovely details later.

Lovely wedding and reception at the La Posada, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

At a secret location in Burbank, they had their first look, a blue wildcat, and a rainbow. It was perfection.

More from the wedding coming soon…

It isn’t very often that you see a one eyed, one horned, purple people eater and a robot get married at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs.
Here is a sneak peek of their photo booth, and fabulousness. I can’t wait to share more… SO much fun.
