If ever two people were meant to spend the rest of their lives together, these two are it. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun at a wedding. Raul of R&R kept the music going till the lights went on, and then some. We even managed to get in the action for the last song.
Everything about Ronnie and Briana was special, from the very first moment I met them both there was this calmness that Ronnie brought to Briana's life. Briana's mom was involved in every step of the way making their commitment ceremony a memorable one for both of them. Briana's father beamed with joy and welcomed Ronnie with open arms into their family. I've never been a part of a group of people so overwhelmed with love and support for two individuals. I was honored to be a part of their celebration.
I'm thrilled to share with you the lovely pictures that Red Loft Studio captured that day. It was such a pleasure working with them. I love when Long Beach vendors come together to make special days come to fruition. My trusty partner in crime Deanne of Bella Fiore provided the beautiful floral arrangements, NOZZA Press and Paper Cut Industries created all the wedding stationery and lastly the yummy cake was made by Rossmoore Pastries.

Once again William Kim of William Kim Photography has managed to capture the love, love, love between Elisabeth + Damian along with their two little adorable dogs. I'm looking forward to their celebration this upcoming November.
This year has definitely been the year of warp speed planning. I received a phone call from one of my sisters asking me if I would help plan one of her best friends wedding, Veronica to Haitham at the start of spring. I said sure not problem, but you do realize that it's in two months time? Having planned a few weddings already this year within two months I immediately got to work.
Veronica and Haitham were so easy to work with. They knew they wanted to keep the wedding intimate with focus on family and close friends. I knew that based on their budget and size of wedding the perfect venue for them would be The Renaissance Hotel in Long Beach. They offer an all inclusive package that includes venue, food, cake, and flowers. Lucky for us Deanne of Bella Fiore is the hotels preferred florist so the choice was an easy one.
One of Veronica + Haitham's friend brought an abundance of pastries for everyone to enjoy. Haitham's family is from Egypt and they couldn't attend the wedding celebration but not a single moment was missed. We set up a web cam so they wouldn't miss a thing. Haitham even had a little dance with him mother via the cam.
I want to thank Will William Kim Photography for capturing the night. He was so attentive and kind. I truly enjoy working with him.
I just love how you can take two different concepts and mix it up a bit to create your very own semi-custom design. I love the color combination we came up with and the new pocket fold lends perfect with the modern inspired wedding. Thanks Nathan for taking pictures of your invitations.
