Courtney & Andrew are incredible, creative, free spirits with a very sweet, uninhibited kind of love! I knew after our Venice engagement session that I was in for quite a treat on their wedding day!! This day was so rich with culture, tradition and joyful celebration. Andrew is an AMAZING African drummer, and HE played for his bride as she walked down the aisle. Love that!! The ceremony was a beautiful fusion of African and Jewish customs that included phenomenal African drumming & dancing, the INCREDIBLE, Yehuda Solomon, his band Moshav, and so many beautiful friends & family from, literally, all over the world. Congratulations, Courtney & Andrew! I loved being part of such a wonderfully eclectic day!

This Malibu wedding was held at the gorgeous Adamson House Estate overlooking the Pacific; one of my favorite wedding venues! And a big thanks to Adee Pelleg who did an amazing job coordinating the day!
