Virginia really knows how to throw a bridal shower!  Lucky Sana to have such a great friend put so much love and detail into her bridal shower.

This is by far the most elaborate, stunning bridal shower i have ever seen!

I call this the Sweet Spot…Candy,cookies, cakes all things sugary!

How amazing is this black chandelier? I love it!

Probably my favorite detail..Each guest got a little pair of panties as a favor!

The most beautiful champagne bar..with berries!

The food was artfully made as well…Yummy Hummus and Raw Veggies

The lucky and beautiful Bride to be Sana!

And the Hostess with the mostess Virginia and her BFF Sana!

Laura and Sorin had a small intimate wedding in Rancho Sante Fe at The Cielo Club in San Diego.

Laura is my neighbor here at the studio and she is Romanian (so am I) so we had an immediate connection.

Her and Sorin are the most adorable affectionate couple and i was so excited to be their photographer.

I was also really excited to work with the awesome Lindsay Longacre of LVL Events .

Lindsay did a really amazing job at pulling together all the details of the day and making sure the wedding went off without a hitch.

Angela and Oleg got married April 17th, 2010 at The City Club on Bunker Hill in Downtown Los Angeles.

They had a very elegant and modern wedding at this beautiful spot in downtown LA with the help of Sherrien Shui of Twogether-Events . What an amazing view they had for their ceremony and reception. I really loved how different the feel of the space was. I am usually outdoors at the beach and it was such a refreshing change to be in a big city towered by large buildings.

Umm… how amazing are Angela’s shoes!

Kirsten and Brady got married April 24th, 2010 at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. They had a wonderfully beautiful wedding, with the most beautiful people in Orange County. Pretty  people, breathtaking views, beautiful bride and groom, the cutest flower girls, a packed dance floor and my favorite an ice cream bar with rainbow sprinkles!

The Ritz Carlton is one of my most favorite Resorts to shoot at here in Orange County.

The wedding was stunning and had a very elegant, classic look, thanks to the amazing Brooke Keegan, wedding planner. Brooke is so amazing at produceing weddings with her ability to combine trendy ideas with elegance and sophistication.

The flowers were done by the talented Karla of Elegant By Design, she always creates the most beautiful wedding arrangements.

One of the perks of my career is that i get to work closley with Bride and Bloom Magazine on some of their editorial shoots that they put together and my absolute favorite spread that they include in every issue is the Featured Florist Design Challenge.

The way i like to describe it is like kind of like a TOP CHEF challenge except with Florists competing for a couples upcoming wedding.

Each florist must come up with two different table settings, one tall centerpiece and one short keeping the couples wedding colors in mind as well as a bridal bouquet and a grooms boutonniere. The florists are absolutley amazing and it is always so hard to pick a favorite.

My favorite of this months shoot was Heavenly Blooms tables. I love the unique punch of red that ties in the chocolate brown and turqiouse linens. It is so unexpected but really makes a bold statement that you do not see very often at a wedding.

I also agreed with the bride Alisa on her favorite bouquet by Rolling Hills Flower Mart Studio, it was very unique and mdern but still very soft and bridal.

What is your favorite?

I am so excited to be today’s real wedding feature on Your Wedding Day Magazine’s Blog!
