{ Sue + Ken } St. Regis Wedding

Ken and Sue tied the knot just days before Christmas at the beautiful St. Regis Monarch Beach hotel in Dana Point, CA. With the hotel already decorated for the season and all lit up, there was not much more that Sue and Ken had to do, but say “I do” in front of 300 family and friends. Great Southern California weather prevailed and we had a gorgeous sunny warm afternoon for the nuptials to occur outside on the Grand Lawn. Thanks you two for a wonderful wedding to partake in…and thank you to the fabulous vendors that helped make this wedding possible at the St. Regis. Specifially, Kelly O’Dell in the Catering Dept.

{ Katie + Chad } Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club Wedding

Details, details...nautical themed wedding with navy linens, anchors, salt water taffy, woody beach cruiser, cruise in the harbor for the couple and bridal party during the cocktail hour and, even the brides own "5 Sisters" family wine shared as a surprise to the guests. The reception was held at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club in Newport Beach overlooking all of Balboa Island and Harbor. Katie and Chad were so sweet and gracious throughout the entire event, thank you. It is always a pleasure working with a sweet, happy bride (and organized!). I teared up at the Father of the Bride speech, truly a first for me. Here are some wonderful photos from Heather at Vallentyne Photography who captured the October fall day beautifully.

{ Tina + Sean } Prado Balboa Park, San Diego Wedding

Tina and Sean were my "East Coasters", communicating and planning a wedding all the way from New York. They dreamt of a California beautiful wedding...rain or shine! We worked on every detail from the look and feel of the weddding to the colors since our first meeting back in Dec 2007. Yup, they have been engaged for a year and a half! They were the most ideal couple to work with and I hope I continue to keep in touch with such nice adoring people. Many thanks to our wonderful vendors who have been booked for more than a year!

Roya and Jeff wasted no time in planning their wedding and left not one detail behind! Seven months ago we met and they ended up settling on the beautiful Club 19 at the St. Regis Monarch Beach for their Spring nuptials over Memorial Day weekend.
