Crudités, champagne, 80 degree weather in January, does it get any better? It was a day to showcase southern California’s best wedding industry designers and creative’s. Laura +  I so enjoyed being there +  photographing all of this eye candy! So much to be inspired by!

Here is the team if you are so inclined:

Jason Murakawa’s, Small Masterpiece We Set The Table

Tiffany Emch, Ojai Valley Inn and Spa

Except on December 17th it did.

These images are cozy and warm and emotional because of the dark skies but also because Lauren and Dan made it that way. {The beyond stunning pink dress Lauren chose helps too} We made it through the whole day with out a drop. Then upon the commencing of speeches the sky began to cry. Not because the speech was so good, but because it had been holding all that water, all day long. One of my favorite images is 2/3 of the way down. Lauren was entitled to this moment as I think honestly all of us might feel this way. Then there is Dan, who took off his jacket and wrapped it warmly around his bride, pulled her in with a whisper and on the night went without a hitch. Everyone gathered inside around the fireplace for cheer and laughs. I honestly thought it could not have been better. Sometimes things are not perfect and for that they turn out even better. EVERYONE had the best time!

Once the rain stopped, dancing continued late into the night outside under a twinkling light patio.

It was perfect.

Enjoy!

This beautiful wedding took place at Rancho Del Diablo in Malibu.

The amazing Lisa Gogjestani from Details Event Planning did not disappoint. Some favorites were the dancing shoes, the custom glassware including my all time favorite black goblets and hundreds of white roses lined up perfectly everywhere!

Even the sunset was perfect!!

Congratulations Mariel & Mike!

Enjoy!

These are the talented and beautiful people behind what makes us parents stylish when schlepping around our children’s giant pile of things.

I adored spending time with the Jones Family on one of the most beautiful winter nights I have ever seen in L.A. The sunset and weather were perfect and there was no traffic!

It was meant to be.
