When we met Nicole & Brian over a year before their wedding, it was like chatting with friends. Nicole was super sweet and her and Brian excitedly shared their plans with us. We had a feeling the wedding day would be smooth sailing because of their easygoing fun attitudes and their enthusiasm for their wedding photography, so of course it was no surprise that the big day turned out to be about as perfect as one could get.

Westake Village Inn is such a gorgeous venue and was a beautiful backdrop for the wedding. A vibrant pink color scheme carried throughout the event from bright florals and bridesmaids dresses to Brian’s pink and black polka dot tie.

Nicole was such a radiant bride…beaming as she walked up the aisle and Brian was all smiles at the sight of her. After the ceremony and photo sessions, the new Mr. & Mrs. were announced at the reception which was kicked off with touching and funny speeches and even a brief musical performance by Nicole’s father. Earlier in the day we noticed the chic hotel lobby and knew it would make the perfect ending for their wedding album so after more traditions and dinner, we snuck the couple away for one last mini photo session and captured a lil ‘magic’ with the video light

We photographed Melanie and Preston’s wedding at a beautiful private residence in Newport. They contacted us a few months before their wedding on the recommendation of her good friend and one of our former brides, Lisa, and luckily we were available. Since they live in Vegas we weren’t able to meet them in person until they flew out to L.A. for their engagement shoot. From the minute we met them we could see these two were definitely made for each other…they were quirky, fun and had no inhibitions so we thought we might be in for some interesting surprises on the wedding day.

The couple incorporated a lot of personal touches for their day, including Melanie’s wedding dress which was made by her mother in law. And speaking of surprises, as the ceremony started we heard the song “It Takes Two To Make a Thing Go Round” begin to blare and the entire wedding party and ultimately the bride and groom danced up to the altar…which was a blast and made for some great pix. After dinner Preston performed an original song for the guests and then the couple disappeared. Everyone wondered where they went, and we soon got our answer. They reappeared wearing some cool funky outfits (see below) topped off with their ‘Just Married’ shirts and they started doing what they do best…groovin’.

The night was capped off with a bubble exit and the couple taking off in Melanie’s dad’s vintage Corvette. We couldn’t let some unique photo ops drive away so we pulled over a few blocks away and ended the evening with some romantic portraits. Check out some of our favorite pictures below and catch the day’s events in their SLIDESHOW.
