stephanie and ben had an amazing wedding at the marvimon house in los angeles. the marvimon is such a cool venue, with perfect backdrops everywhere you look! the wedding had an almost vintage vibe, paired with colorful bouquets, peacock feathers and of course one seriously stylish couple :).the weather could not have been more perfect for the outdoor ceremony and indoor/outdoor reception. a buffet by truly yours catering was set up in the open kitchen area of the loft, the huge projection played photos of the couple, the dj spun tunes and all of the guests mingled and laughed. it was an all around spectacular evening and we could not think of a better way to spend our weekends! we love our job :).

bryan asked me what i thought about the light installation outside the los angeles county museum of art as a cool spot for engagement photos. “hellz ya it is!!”, was my response :), and it was. after we finished up at the lacma we drove over to the arclight, well the parking lot of the arclight. this is where bryan proposed to sarah. i love engagement locations that are totally different, and have significance to the couple. the photos totally reflect these two perfectly and we cannot wait to shoot their wedding next weekend at henson studios!

as we drove up the extremely windy mountain leading to lake arrowhead i got scared (i have a huge fear of heights) and then i got happy, excited, and a bit dizzy :). stephene and josh were getting married high above the frenzied pace of the city. the cold air hit us as soon as we stepped out of the car, as well as the beauty all around; the trees with fall colored leaves, the glistening water of the lake and of course our stunning bride and groom. stephene and josh put together such an amazing event, incorporating all of the colors of october and using the gorgeous backdrop of their location perfectly. the bridesmaids wore a beautiful shade of brown, the bouquets featured flowers of orange, yellow, red and white, a wedding cake on top of a tree stump that the groomsmen hauled all the way from home. every detail was perfectly thought out. we also got to spend the next day with stephene and josh, a true day after session. we strolled around the village, wandered through the trees and of course had to stop by the pumpkin patch :).
