Rob and I first met the beautiful bride Katie when she came to visit us with her mom Cece during the wedding planning process. Both ladies has such wonderfully sweet personalities, and we knew they would be such a joy to work with. Katie- thank you for trusting us with documenting these special memories and stories for you and your family. It has been an honor getting to know you.

We had the opportunity to meet Max at their engagement session in Laguna Beach. We could see right away how adorable and loving Katie and Max are toward each other. It was an absolute pleasure spending the afternoon with them. (Engagement photos sneak peek coming soon.)

Their wedding day was full of sweet moments from Katie and the girls getting ready, to the personal wedding ceremony, and the special moments with Katie and Max taking portraits.

Congratulations Katie and Max! We wish you years of love, happiness, and laughter and all the joys this world can bring 🙂

A few times a year we get to team up with an amazing ensemble of wedding professionals and come up with a creative fashion editorial. For this shoot, we envisioned Old World Royal Elegance.  After the countless hours that each and every team member put in to making sure every detail was just right, we can’t be more excited with how our vision came to life!

We styled the shoot around the historic Ebell of Los Angeles. The Ebell was built in 1927 and since then has played host to many red carpet premiers,  theatre and film productions, and private soirees.  We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for this shoot!

Our team collaborated closely with the ladies at Love is Sweet Events for the styling, and they were very pleasant and professional to work with.

A special thank you to Stepan Fomenko at Friar Tux for designing our men’s fashion look. And a big thanks to the amazing and talented Danielle Keller of Mon Amie for designing our stunning bridal look complete with bridal gown, veil, earrings, and hair pieces all perfectly coordinated for the vision.  Our models Fred DiBella and Noelle Poulson pulled off these looks perfectly!

All of the lovely floral designs were created by Una at The Flower Lab. . The custom designed cake and dessert station was done by Patricia’s PattiCakes.

The gorgeous linens were styled by Karla at Wildflower Linen.  Baker Party did a wonderful job with styling the place settings and table decor. Thank you to you both for helping us review numerous linens, chair covers, overlays, plates, saucers, and glassware options to coordinate all the details so beautifully.

Thank you to the fantastic team at J Fox Event Lighting for creating the old world romance ambience we were aiming for. This team was so very patient in adjusting placement, number, and colors of light to get the look the way we had imagined it.

And last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to PROtog Rentals for giving us a great place to go for all of our lens and photography lighting needs.

We hope you enjoy the photos!!!

Summit House Restaurant Wedding Photography

Erika and Koji had their beautiful wedding at the Summit House Restaurant in Fullerton, CA.

As the story goes, they met years ago in Japan. Koji, a Japanese teacher, happened across Erika, who taught English at the same school. From there they became an inseparable pair.

There were so many sweet and funny moments throughout their wedding day that it was hard to pick just a few photos for this sneak peek post.

One of our favorite moments was when Koji saw Erika for the first time during the first look. They both had such lovely emotions and expressions which made this special and meaningful moment even better!

The ceremony was filled with cultural traditions like the tea ceremony and much excitement and happiness from their friends and family!

From Erika’s fabulous dress, to the wonderful floral designs created by Erika’s sister, to all the personalized details Erika put together over the last several months- there was no shortage of prettiness to photograph. So there are plenty more photos to come from this joyful wedding.

Erika and Koji- Robert and I would like to thank you for trusting us with your wedding day. We enjoyed every moment with both of you and your family and friends. We are so very honored to have been invited to be a part of your day. You said you would like lots of photos, so there are LOTS more to come. In the meantime, we hope you and Koji enjoy this sneak peek! – Jessica and Robert
