los angeles biltmore wedding by joy marie | lauren + david

Wow, Lauren & David had such an incredible wedding! These two have such a sweet and honest love for each other. The way David looks at Lauren is enough to melt your heart! I found myself smiling all day just knowing that these two wonderful people have found each other, and will be spending the rest of their lives together. Their fabulous ceremony and reception were held at the regal Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It was a day where I was able to witness a couple confirming their deep love, and watch the joining of two wonderful families. Lauren & David, I’m honored to have been part of such a monumental occasion! I’m so grateful to my incredible client, and now friend, Candace Lee, for connecting me with Lauren & David.

malibu wedding by joy marie | amber + rufus | xanadu estate

Amber & Rufus were married at his family’s magnificent Malibu Estate, Xanadu. Yes, the same Xanadu named after the 80′s movie starring Olivia Newton-John, who also previously owned the estate. The day was pure perfection! The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL, as Amber & Rufus recited  sweet and moving vows overlooking the Pacific. Gorgeous chandeliers hung from the trees overhead, which provided a seamless transition from the beach ceremony into a vibrant, red reception that screamed ELEGANCE! Mindy Weiss Party Consultants did a phenomenal job transforming the estate into the perfect venue for a  storybook wedding.  I just love how this day was such an amazing reflection of Amber & Rufus’ personal styles. In addition to being gorgeous, these two are incredibly giving, and probably some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Amber & Rufus, I’m so glad our paths crossed. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a spectacular day!!

Kim & Andy are two of those special people that you sometimes cross paths with in life who leave an indelible mark on your heart. They are both warm, kindhearted and madly in love with each other!
