Mike & Mel in Malibu

Posted on June 7, 2011

I’ll warn you up front, this is a monster of a blog post. I have so many images to share and I just can’t contain myself this time….so I hope you enjoy the ride. How can I hold back photos of such a gorgeous couple in an equally gorgeous location with such luscious details and yumminess?!! I can’t! So you might wanna grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine ~ whatever your pleasure may be….and soak in all this pretty. {did I mention that Michael and Melanie are both actors? Yeah….they’re crazy stunning and completely natural in front of the camera. I know….not fair}

To say this wedding was like a fairytale would be a gross understatement. Every detail was attended to perfectly. We had a breathtaking, stereotypical Southern California day with warm sun and blue skies, and the love that emanated from Michael and Melanie was palpable. I’m 100% sure that every person left this event feeling infused with love and goodness, because these two…..they’re soul mates.

Enough of my blabbering…..Vendor list at the end. Click the slideshow below to see more photos & video. Comment to leave them some love. Enjoy their wedding story….

It starts in a hotel room in Agoura Hills…

and continues at the beautiful Saddlerock Vineyards in Malibu, where I grabbed these of Mel….looking – as radiant as any bride has ever been…..

I think it’s safe to say she was happy

Marianne Williamson served as officiant at one of the most grounding and spiritual ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed……

could there be a more beautiful wedding party? I think not.

I’m telling you, the details at this wedding were to die for….

and then fun ensued

Second Photographer: JR Anderson Photography ~ the three images of Mel and her Dad about to walk down the aisle – that’s her work

*disclaimer* I normally do not shoot video, but since my handsome husband was at the wedding,

I shoved our less than awesome video camera in his hands and he was able to grab some snippits

Oh, and it’s super high res ~ give it a minute to load

Andrea and Paul

Posted on May 20, 2011

Oh so happy to finally share Andrea and Paul’s wedding day here on the blog!! They exchanged vows in the company of friends and family, and their incredibly adorable children on April 30th, here in Santa Clarita. The ever charming Jeff Shapiro opened up his home and backyard for the venue, and I really think he should consider renting it out on a regular basis – it was gorgeous! Without further ado, here are a just a few of my favorites from the day (special thanks to Amy Teegan for second shooting and Julie Anderson for third shooting) ~ be sure and scroll to the end to see a slideshow with more images from their beautiful day…..
