capturing charlene and andy’s wedding day at sherwood country club was one of the greatest honors i could ever ask for. not only have i known charlene for over 15 years, but she is also one of my dear friends. this was the best wedding i could have ever asked to close out our 2009 season. we started with getting ready shots at the westlake village inn and took some bridal and bridal party photos around the grounds. i love the westlake village inn’s flower arches and swirly gates. we then headed to sherwood for the ceremony and reception. charlene and andy did not see each other before their ceremony, so when charlene walked down the aisle, the look on andy’s face melted the hearts of all the guests! they are such an amazing couple and have so much love for each other and all of their family and friends. i am so lucky to know these two wonderful people and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness! love you guys

p.s. charlene had a bridesman, danny (who was our neighbor our first year of college, charlene and i were roomies) and i love him to bits, so i featured a lot of photos of him from before the ceremony.

i could not wait for emilie and ross’ wedding. not only was their location a dream, but they also used the same caterer and bakery we used for our own wedding! emilie and ross were married at the beautiful greystone mansion where two of my favorite celebrities, elizabeth banks and jamie king had their weddings. with catering by truly yours and a delicious cake from hansen’s cakes, all of emilie and ross’ guests had their taste buds delighted! the look, feel and perfect flow of the day was handled by one of our favorite coordinators, alicia from in the now weddings. we started off with getting ready at the beverly hilton and then headed over to greystone. emilie paired purples with whites which all came together in the most stunning centerpieces and bouquets. The weather could not have been more amazing, and emilie and ross were a dream to work with. we had such a wonderful time capturing this wedding and i think the photos just speak for themselves in showing the vision this couple had for their wedding day!
