Where do we start with this one? Chrissie and Brian contacted us a while ago about their destination wedding at the Purple Orchid Inn. They both live in South California but decided to have their wedding in North California. We met them in the late February to shoot their fun filled balloon engagement in UCLA. And finally their special day came! Their venue was perfect, a gorgeous resort and spa nestled in green hills of olive trees. Chrissie was so beautiful in her Nicole Miller dress and dramatically long veil. I also love how each bridesmaid wore a different dress! Everything about the wedding was beautifully perfect, the ceremony was special and I was especially touched at the group prayer that ended the ceremony perfectly! I love how Chrissie arranged for her girls to hand out cuddly fleece blankets for the guests since it was getting a little windy. The best thing about the wedding: Chrissie and Brian did their wedding portrait session after their wedding right at sunset and gave us unlimited time to play with them, so be sure you stay tuned for that part of their wedding blog post!!!

YAY! Caroline & Dan were stellar and came through like I dreamed they would! SO happy with the results and the way you handled every moment including unstable weather and a very long shot day! They kept us laughing and comfortable.
The long veil was made for me by my sister- (Maid of Honor).
These images are so beautiful and quite touching when everyone huddles up around the couple, and the groom’s bout is super cute ~MB
