Michelle + Mark = The Valdez Family
3 down, 5 more to go. Michelle is the 3rd Tincopa daughter to get
married within the past year! What an exciting and festive time for
parents Luis and Teresa! Michelle and Mark have been together almost as
long as I’ve been with Jessica. They have two cute lil children (both
of which are on our website and blog). Shortly after Sean was born, it
was decided that they wanted to wed and Jessica was all OVER it. With
only 5 weeks, she and Kerry Pulverman of de Luxe Weddings & Events, put together this small soiree at a beautiful venue called The Pacific Edge Villa in Laguna Beach.
Believe it or not, but this wedding was only 4 digits – DIY weddings
are always tough but it came together wonderfully. Mark and Michelle,
congratulations and we wish you a wonderful future!
We want to thank all that have contributed to making this a reality:
Luis and Teresa, Hong, Luis Jr & Lexi (especially for the
custom sandbox), Melissa, Natalie, Jen, and Tina, Cecilia,
Laura, Kevin, Priscilla, and Chris Botelho from it Takes Two Photo!
Also, a special shout out goes out to these vendors – you MADE the day!
Luke from Premiere Events –
Luke rocks! He is an AWESOME MC and DJ! Luke comes well prepared and
can make a reception bounce like no other! He is tasteful, talented,
and great at thinking on the fly, a necessary trait in this industry.
Leanna from Bella Blooms – Leanna’s
fashionable floral designs and ability to work with budgets prompted us
to return as her client. She’s our local favorite because she
accommodated us so well!
Hector from Cakeland Bakery –
This is the 5th time Cakeland has made a cake for the Tincopa family.
Cakeland has been our baker for all three weddings, and they have not
dissappointed. They have dozens of flavors to choose from and make
cakes the way we love them… Moist! Best of all, Hector, the owner of
Cakeland, comes from a very humble background, and while other
competitors are charging $1500 for a three tier cake, he can make one
EVEN better for surprisingly less!
Rebecca Peng from The Pacific Edge Hotel
– We were introduced to Rebecca and the rest of the Pacific Edge event
staff at a recent mixer. Needless to say we were impressed! The Pacific
Edge is a beautiful location, and we hope to return to photograph there
soon!
The Pacific Edge is located at:
647 South Coast Highway,
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
Kerry Pulverman from de Luxe Weddings and Events –
two words…. LOVE HER. She genuinely enjoys wedding coordination and
design. She comes prepared and is very detail oriented. This wedding
would not have come together as well as it did without her and her team
managing to setup in world record time! Two more words…. Effective
executioner. We can’t be any happier to be friends and colleagues with
her.
Here is the preview: Stay tuned! PS… comment us on what you
think about the second to last picture. We’re playing with some
textures!
PPS. Thanks to Chris for capturing the last photo in this post for us while we were up as part of the bridal party!
Check out this custom sandbox my brother made for the
Escort Cards. It’s in their wedding colors and everything. If you

(The
pastel green, pink, and ivory in the detailing of her gown were the
inspiration for the entire wedding color palette. The details in the
cake, sandbox, florals, and favors were all designed to match.)
