So you might recognize this hot couple from the engagement shoot we did in Hollywood a few months back, right in the middle of Hollywood and Highland.  After that shoot I just knew that the wedding would be fabulous and it absolutely exceeded my expectations.

First of all, I simply adore this family. I had the pleasure of photographing Orli's brother, Josh's wedding a few years back and just love the passion, humor and love of life that everyone in this family shares. From the beautiful ketubah signing to the touching ceremony and non-stop party, this wedding was one that I just didn't want to end! 

To give you an idea of how much fun it was to work with Haeran and David, I have to point out that just four days before the wedding, Haeran twisted her ankle so badly that she would have to wear a boot on her wedding day. With her Vera Wang dress and instead of her amazing Louboutin shoes. But instead of letting it get her down, she donned a boot that her wonderfully clever friends spray painted red...on the bottom. Boot a la Louboutin.

Not only did she not let it get her down, or in any way have it be a source of stress on her wedding day, she embraced it and found the humor in it and was just glowing, boot and all.

I found Haeran and David to be such an inspiration - they chose to enjoy every minute of their day - Haeran hobbled down the aisle and danced the night away without a second thought to her unusual footwear.

 It is so easy to get stressed out about the details of a wedding, everyone wants it to be just perfect. But the key to a perfect wedding has little to do with having every detail in place, but rather to having a fantastic attitude and relishing the day every "hobbly" step of the way.

We are just thrilled to be featured in The Knot for Terren and Billy's gorgeous wedding last year with the amazing Sarah Porcaro at Love in LA Events.  Thanks to everyone at The Knot for such a fabulous feature!

I met this wonderful family a few years ago when I photographed the bride's sister Miri's gorgeous wedding at Brandeis-Bardin. This entire family is is so lovely and warm and fun to be around (and photograph, of course!) At Miri's wedding I just loved how passionately everyone embraced both the sanctity and celebration of the wedding day and enjoyed every, single moment.

So I was thrilled when Keren called me to photograph her wedding at Castle-Green in Pasadena. It was a perfect day - perfect weather, perfect location and overflowing with all of the incredible love, passion and joy that I loved capturing at Miri's wedding. Thanks to the amazing work of Samantha at La Bella Dia events and the always stunning florals from Jackie Combs, the day was picture perfect.  When you add InJoy Orchestra, a band that TRULY knows how to make a party, you go above and beyond!

This wedding was a double bonus for me, not only did I get to spend the day with an incredibly sweet and wonderful couple, Jen and Taylor, whose engagement session I posted a while back, but I also spent the day with one of my absolute favorite coordinators, Dana Haber Abrams! The day was absolutely gorgeous at the Fairmont Miramar, and the guys got ready at the Huntley across the street which is always such a great spot. We took a little detour after the ceremony to the cliff overlooking the ocean and Santa Monica Pier and then headed back to the Fairmont Miramar for a fabulous party. Dana did a spectacular job, of course, and the whole day was just perfect!
