Safoura and Michael - Rancho Las Lomas

Lions and Tigers and Zebras...OH MY!

We had such a fun day with Safoura and Michael. They are such a sweet couple, and the blending of their cultures resulted in a truly unique event. The Persian customs included the ceremony in front of another georgeous sofreh, great music with a drummer, and traditional dancing. The Filipino customs included special performers and musicians, and traditional dancing.

Coordination by one of the best...Lisa Moon!

Here's a highlight clip form their day.

Erin and Jack - The Island Hotel Newport Beach

These two had a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Joachim Church in Costa Mesa. The officiant had married Erin's parents 30 years ago, so it was a very touching ceremony.

Then the reception at The Island Hotel followed. Check-out the AMAZING decor, designed by Larrissa of Inviting Occasion. What was super cool about their reception was the flow of events. There was a quick grand entrance, and then the band started-up with non-stop music for the rest of the event. Food stations were open the entire evening, and there were individual lounge set-ups around the room for guests to sit and eat. PARTY TIME with dancing, food and dessert stations, and a cigar lounge!

Nili from Rancho Las Lomas coordinated the event with the help of Lisa Moon.

The photographers were the always FUN Joe and Mirta of Barnet Photography.

Malika and Robert - The Fairmont Newport Beach

Malika and Robert's wedding celebrations spanned three days...and I don't think they ever stopped smiling for the entire time!

The Mendhi and Sangeet celebrations before the actual wedding day were so much fun to film. There was the traditional henna hand painting, and lots of music, dancing and singing at both events. The Sangeet and the wedding reception also included traditional dance performances, and two well-known singers from India, who with the band, had all the guests dancing the entire night.

Their wedding ceremony was held early in the morning at The Balboa Bay Club, and included the traditional arrival of the groom on a white horse. The reception later that evening at The Fairmont was fantastic...and included amazing lighting and decor, a separate room for desserts and tea, and dancing, dancing, dancing!!

Kara and Chris - Rancho Las Lomas

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO! It is always such an honor to be a part of our couple's day, and experience the joy and love that everyone shares...it's a constant theme in our blogs...all the special moments we see and capture...memories that will always be there and that can be re-lived.

These two and their bridal party ROCKED! Kara and the girls were totally relaxed and stress-free while getting ready at the hotel. Chris and the guys were the nervous ones! They were really working hard at getting their ties just right, their neck hair shaved(!), and writing that special something in a card to go along with the roses for Kara.

The ceremony was one of the cutest I've seen, with the officiant starting things off having Chris say "I Chris promise to take you Kara...fishing"! He went into the real declarations right after, but everyone had a laugh (Chris LOVES to fish) and it really helped both of them relax. Everyone in the family was mentioned during the ceremony...and when the officiant talked about Kara's grandmother, and told her to "call me later"...oh my gosh the smile on her face and the little wave that she gave to him...priceless.

Just some of the cool details throughout the day...a cigar roller, beautiful flowers and lighting, toasts and tears, one of the most beautiful locations around Orange County, wonderful friends, and a night of dancing that was TOO MUCH FUN!!

Eat Drink be Married!

Nour and Amer - St. Regis Resort

Here are highlights from Nour and Amer's Engagement Celebration at Club 19. Their ceremony took place two days after Nour's sister Reem and Amer's brother Samer had their Wedding celebration. Two sisters and two brothers who found love...truly one beautiful story, and now one amazing family!

Reem and Samer - The Fairmont Hotel

This Wedding Celebration included the exchange of rings on the dance floor after the beginning Zaffa entrance. Earlier in the day we had lots of time to spend with the couple getting fun shots of when they first saw each other, and more of the family photo session. The reception was incredible with a series of lighting changes throughout the night, beautiful decor and an amazing dessert spread that spanned one whole wall of the venue!

A photo montage played throughout the night, and after the opening traditional dances, guests were treated to a 45 minute performance by numerous belly dancers. It really was a beautiful evening...and two days after their wedding...Reem's sister Nour would be engaged to Samer's brother Amer! A great story there that was shared again during the toasts.
