sherwood country club wedding by joy marie | karnis + alex

My first conversations with Karnis & Alex involved their concepts for an “un-engagement shoot” with ideas about re-creating scenes from movies and famous paintings.  I knew after this first meeting that I LOVED these two, and after our Los Angeles engagement shoot, I loved them even more!!  So it was really no surprise when I arrived the morning of their wedding and Alex had blow-up toys to incorporate as props.  Karnis & Alex are incredibly creative, super fun, so sweet and absolutely perfect for each other.  Their beautiful wedding at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks was an amazing day and so much fun to be a part of. It all made for a really fun Slideshow too!! Thanks, Karnis & Alex!

spanish hills country club wedding by joy marie | kelly + lowell

Kelly & Lowell’s Spanish Hills Country Club Wedding was definitely one for the memory books! It was a beautiful fairy tale wedding, complete with Kelly’s grand entrance via horse & carriage, and her “Marine in Shining Armour” awaiting his GORGEOUS bride! INCREDIBLE!! I’d been eagerly looking forward to this day since I connected with Kelly & Lowell a couple of months back for their Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Session. From the first time we met, I could tell these two really had a spark for each other, as well as a spark for life; Lowell serving his country as a Marine & Officer, and Kelly doing volunteer work in third world countries. These two are just all around great people! Both come from kind & generous families, and that made the day all the more special! Congratulations, Kelly & Lowell, and thanks for having me be a part of such a wonderful occasion! I’m so excited for our “Day After Session!”
