When we were first meeting Tiffany and Bryan we found out that Tiffany is a REAL DISNEY PRINCESS (she is Jasmine at Disney’s California Adventure Aladdin live show)! What?!?! If you know us you know we love Disneyland and get there whenever we can. Needless to say…we were pretty excited to be shooting their wedding. It did not disappoint. They had their wedding at the gorgeous Adamson House in Malibu, CA. One of our favorite places to shoot. We started with them at The Viceroy in Santa Monica for some pre-ceremony goodness and then headed over to the venue together. This was not only a stylish wedding but so emotional and beautiful.

If we had to describe Katherine and Grant’s relationship as succinctly as possible, we would have to go with “sweet, loving, quirky explosion of fun!!!!” (to answer your question before you have even asked it, yes, the extra exclamation marks were absolutely necessary… Yes, we can read your mind… Really? A full wheel of cheese?… I didn’t know that about Legos. Fascinating!)

Anywho, when Katherine said that she wanted to bust out a vintage Dolce & Gabbana purple tutu and red pumps for their engagement session at Santa Monica and Venice beach, our eyes got wide with delight as we contemplated just how awesome this session was going to be! We were admittedly confused when she said that she wanted the session theme to be “Jokey Girl and Laughy Boy.” But, after spending some time with them, now we understand. They laugh and joke with one another like it’s their job! It was amazing! They have so much fun with one another and we had so much fun with them too!

We can’t show their rainbow themed wedding images quiiiiiite yet, but here is a link to a little sneak peak: at People.com

In the mean-time, please enjoy Katherine and Grant’s Santa Monica and Venice Beach engagement session!

You may remember Haley and Brian from their awesome Balboa Island Engagement (the one where we shot in a random laundry mat at the end and told them we were hiding from zombies..). We thought there was no way these two would top the awesomeness of their engagement but, sure enough, their wedding was just an explosion of gorgeouawesomesness and radicalawesomeness (are those words? They are now!). They got married at the stunning Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley California a venue that complemented them and their stunning bridal party perfectly. They chose to have the ceremony/reception at the upper estate but that didn’t keep us from exploring some of the other beautiful areas of the property. It may have also been one of the hottest days of the year but everyone stayed hydrated and rocked it out.  Ok! Enough of us gushing about this wedding. Enjoy the photos!
