EPIC. The word I would use to describe this wedding and the love shared between Morgan and Dash. This boy meets girl story is one for the books…. Morgan and Dash met at hockey. Morgan plays on an all male hockey team and is the only girl on the team and in the league for that matter. When you see Morgan she is not what you would picture when you think “a girl who plays hockey”. She is gorgeous, stylish, girly and kind. Well this girl is a force to be reckoned with on the ice and she is breaking down stereotypes all over the place. She caught the eye of one Dash when she was playing goalie at a hockey game. Granted it was kind of hard not to notice Miss Morgan, the only girl on the ice, or maybe it was the fact that she was holding her own in an arena packed with testosterone that drew Dash in. Either way their eyes met and they were hooked. Fast forward to their wedding day and back to the word EPIC. This wedding seriously may rival The Royal Wedding. Morgan was a vision and Dash was so handsome. The details will make you swoon.. The chairs, chargers, up lighting, chandeliers, fabulous cake and bold color scheme of red, black and white. Get ready for some serious wedding eye candy. It was a rockin’ party where guests danced the night away and celebrated this fabulous couples love. Congratulations to Morgan and Dash. Thank you for allowing us to document your most important day.

Gray, ivory, black and touches or peach. This is a recipe for fabulousness when it comes to colors for a wedding. The groomsmen were decked out in light gray suits and the gals in classic black with light peach florals. Wait until you see how well these colors came together when the entire bridal party stands together for the Ceremony. It was true color harmony.  Then there was the bride and groom. Both classic and elegant. Jon and Alicia chose to take their vows at The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. They have a magnificent Ceremony site that is stadium seating so everyone had an excellent view of the Ceremony. The couple is then elevated on a circular stage with their bridal party surrounding them. It is the perfect place for an intimate and personal Ceremony. Here is a teaser of things to come with Jon and Alicia’s most special day.

I adore Anna and Rex. It was truly our honor and pleasure to document their love and I am so excited to post their wedding film. I L-O-V-E-D everything about their wedding from the rooftop Reception at the Marriott Marina Del Rey location overseeing Marina Del Rey to the pink, black and white color scheme to Anna’s hot pink and sassy heels to her 3 dress changes throughout the day. I am a self professed lover of all thinks pink and Anna and Rex’s Reception just spoke to me… When you walked in you were greeted with pink uplighting and centerpieces with black trees, hot pink floral, crystals and candles. It was all so lovely. I could go on and one so let’s start with my favorite detail, her dress, her 1st dress that is. Anna’s wedding gown was A-MAZING!! She looked like a frosted cupcake and in my eyes that is a HUGE compliment. The dress flowed like smooth creamy frosting as it billowed around her. Since this dress was not the most mobile choice she had a super flirty party dress to change into for the Reception. This little ditty allowed her and Rex to get their groove on the dance floor which they did in their impromptu “I Like Big Butts” choreographed First Dance that they busted out. The guests were in hysterics watching these two bust a move. It truly was an amazing day for an amazing couple. Anna and Rex’s wedding film is a true depiction of who they are as a couple and tells their love story from the moment it all began. Be sure to watch for the footage we used from Rex’s proposal to Anna. Anna and Rex thank you for allowing us to be a part of your most special day. We wish you many years of love and laughter.

Vangie & Nate have an awesome Love Story. It is all very fairytale and they lived happily ever after which is why they chose to get married this summer at The Castle At Ashley Manor. They met online as most couples do these days and they had their first date one week before Nate was being deployed to Korea. That E-Harmony is magic and sure knows its stuff! Once Nate left to Korea for a year, he faithfully called Vangie every morning at 6 am to build their relationship.  He flew Vangie to Korea three times, and consistantly pursued her.  Through this, they fell in love.  Vangie and Nate have literally spent less than 3 months in the same city together. Nate is a Fighter Pilot serving our country and has been overseas or across the country for most of their courtship. Vangie has been here waiting for her prince to come. So they have made trips to see each other but its a few days here a week or so there. Part of what they think is most special about their relationship is that they have built a foundation based on an emotional connection rather than a physical connection because  much of their relationship is over the phone, text or Skype. So they have peeled the layers of the onion and know each other deep down. They both feel strongly about having built a solid foundation in Christ and made him the center of their relationship. My favorite part about this couple is that the theme of the entire wedding and their story is Worth The Wait. Having overcome the challenges of a long distance relationship this Love Story represents a long road that finally has its happy ending on June 3rd. Join me and journey through the story of Vangie and Nate’s Love Story: Worth The Wait.

Part of marriage is adapting and overcoming the challenges that life throws at you and Katie & Adam had a serious weather challenge on their wedding day and boy did they adapt and overcome. Dealing with that stress alone shows you this couple is going to do just fine. They didn’t let a little pesky rain and wind spoil their day. Mother Nature was kind and the clouds parted just in time for their nuptials. Katie even joked about the weather as the wind whipped her veil during the Ceremony. It was so cute, Adam saw the struggle that his wife to be was having with her veil and he helped tame the beast. Once they were pronounced husband and wife they shared a passionate kiss and they were off to celebrate. They had a beautiful evening joined by their closest family and friends. Congratulations you lovebirds!! Enjoy Katie and Adam’s Wedding Movie Trailer. PS. Check out Katie’s shoes…. FABULOUS!!
