Imagine seeing the love of your life, four years before you officially met, without even knowing it. That is exactly what happened to Zareh & Ileen. They sat inches from each other during a mock trail they both attended for their best friends, and don’t even remember each other. Sparks flew as soon as they met, and obviously it hasn’t stopped because these two are pure romance with each together. The way he looks at her, and she looks at him - we love watching them together. For their session, we went to Beverly Hills and shot at the very first luxury estate ever built in the city. With it’s six acres of beauty, it was quintessential.
These two lovers have a fire that is undoubtedly special. Spending the day with Shant & Sune, was such a blast, seeing the way they look at each other and most importantly how they love each other, was something out of a story book.

Teddy & Chantal grew up together, remaining close friends throughout their childhoods. They began dating in college and got engaged on New Year’s Eve, surrounded by their closest friends. This sweet couple wanted a vacation-like wedding and found the Monarch Beach Resort to be the perfect venue for their celebration. For the design, their florist and event designer, Eddie Zaratsian, focused primarily on warm floral pieces, such as the ombre flower petals that carpeted the aisle and the reception centerpieces, which were also arranged to appear as though they were growing out of the tables. The dining tables featured a mix of low and high floral arrangements composed of an abundance of orchids, hydrangeas, roses and peonies.
Jameson & Stephanie chose the fascinating Houdini Estate for their session location, and it suited them all too well.

Sometimes brides have to try on the same dress a couple times until they know if it’s THE dress. But Charleen knew she had found her dream dress when she first put it on. She absolutely stunned in Marchesa Bridal, the dress looked like it was made just for her. With Chanel shoes and Cartier jewelry, her bridal look was timeless yet perfectly elegant. And having the beautiful oceanfront luxurious Terranea Resort as her wedding venue, you can say her wedding day was straight out of a fairytale.

Her bridal look is truly timeless, just like she always wanted.
A California day with perfect weather at the beautiful San Gabriel Mission. Where Spanish influence is all around with tall narrow windows and mission bells, it is hard not to love every inch of this place.
