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!

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!

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.

Ojai Valley Inn Wedding - Lisa + Tim

It was gorgeous day for Lisa & Tim's wedding. They chose to keep it a very intimate affair with only family, close friends and their golden retriever ringbearers at the Ojai Valley Inn in Ojai. I fell in love with these two during the engagement shoot. Although Tim pulled a lower leg muscle in a golfing accident just before the wedding, he mustered enough strength to make it to the altar! Here are a few of my favorite moments...

the distiguished ringbearers...





the beautiful bride...

love this first dance moment!

A big thanks to Holly Vesecky of Holly Flora for the amazing floral arrangements, and Michelle Buckley of Mint Julep Social Events for doing such a wonderful job coordinating this gorgeous Ojai wedding. Congratulations, Lisa & Tim! Here's to the start of a wonderful life together....More about this wedding on the new Blog!
