They met on the set of Bates Motel, she was the point person for the location, and he was a cinematographer. After being pushed together by the director of the project, they fell for each other. It was completely unexpected and but so perfect. Things tend to work out like that, right? On the wedding day, I heard that Michael originally had a 10 year plan, but it’s not often that the universe plans the same way we do.  

Krista plans events in her 9-5, so it was only fitting that she would do the same for her wedding. And one look at this wedding and you know they have serious style. The Lombardi House is in the heart of Hollywood, only 10 minutes from the location they met. Krista + Michael wanted their friends and family to experience all that Los Angeles had to offer, and a little white barn in Hollywood helped them do just that. 

During the ceremony they also had a very special performance by Gavin James.  Hearing the Book of Love Live during the ceremony was one the “pinch-me” moments I don’t experience too often. Gavin, you have a new fan and the canny ability to make people “feel”.  

Thank you Krista + Michael for being so open, loving, and making me feel like I was in your inner circle. You two are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. <3

I can safely say that it was the first time anyone handed me a whole olive branch the morning of their wedding, and it was a great indication of how the day played out. 

Rina + Juan’s beautiful day started with a relaxed first look, and when we arrived at the ceremony venue I was blown away with how they transformed the space. After the God-Centered ceremony, they enjoyed Cocktail hour with their friends and family before following me out for sunset photos. As soon as the sun set, the rest of the night was one big party. And when I say party, I mean it! The dance floor was packed till the very last song.

Laura + Jake’s wedding was my first wedding of 2015! Their wedding day was such a relaxed event, surrounded by friends and family at Green Gables Wedding Estate in San Marcos. Surrounded by so much lush green, it made the extra warm day seem just a little cooler. Congratulations you two!   Venue: Green Gables Wedding Estate | Flowers: Flowers...
