Venice Engagement Shoot - Vicki + Paul

We only had a small window of time, since I had to catch a plane, but Vicki & Paul really made the most of our time together for their engagement shoot. I don't think they come any cuter than these two, and honestly, just the sweetest people. I'm so excited that I get to close out my 2008 with their Los Angeles wedding in a couple of weeks.















See you soon, Vicki & Paul. Can't wait!

La Fleur Weddings + Russell Fowler Studios - Ojai Valley Inn

While I'm giving shout outs, I can't forget my two friends, Jill La Fleur & Russell Fowler. I just finished editing a wedding we all did together at the beautiful Ojai Valley Inn. Jill runs Jill La Fleur Weddings. She's basically the "go-to" planner for weddings & events in California & Hawaii. Russell owns Russell Fowler Studios, known for producing some of the best wedding cinema in the biz. You'll be hearing a lot more about these two in '09! If you're just starting your wedding planning, definitely keep Jill & Russell in mind!

Janie Medley + The Bride's Cafe

I wanted to give a quick shout out to my new friend, Janie Medley, founder of the amazing wedding blog, The Bride's Cafe. Janie also owns & operates Janie Medley Flora Design. Her work, which has been featured in Del Mar Weddings Magazine, is absolutely gorgeous! Janie posted some of my shoe shots on her Blog today, and it's fun reading all the comments brides have posted about what style of shoes they covet most! Check it out!

Malibu Adamson House Wedding - Sabrina + Apur

First, thank you to all of my amazing clients for being so patient with me during this busy wedding season! I love how every wedding has its own unique personality. Sabrina & Apur's wedding at the gorgeous Adamson House in Malibu was one rich with tradition & culture, both Eastern & Western. This day represented the joining of two incredible families & traditions. The day had all of the ingredients of a one-of-a-kind event: a beautiful couple madly in love, an exquisite location, and a distinct celebration of cultural heritage.

my favorite shot...Sabrina & Apur sneaking away from the reception for a quiet moment alone to watch the sunset...love love this moment!!

the day was so vibrant, full of color, celebration and life!

the incredible, Sabrina + incredible gown = GORGEOUS BRIDE!!

a sweet moment during the ceremony...







Thank you so much to Ashley Tearston who did such a great job planning & coordinating this incredible day! She also created all of the beautiful floral arrangements! She's an amazing talent! Congratulations, Sabrina & Apur! More about The Adamson House on the new Joy Marie Blog.
