Franjo+Kylee=Married. The Bride is an OC Hair Stylist!

This wedding is near and dear to our hearts as our good friends Franjo and Kylee say, "I do". We met this fabulous couple a few years back when they used to be our neighbors. I guess you could say our dogs brought us together as we decided to have dinner and cocktails during a stroll out to the lawn to walk them. Since then the two have been the ying to our yang. We have shared many laughs, a few tears, and even a few trips to Vegas. These two are such a fun loving couple and we all get along famously. Last year we were thrilled when we received a phone call from them at Ruth Chris Steakhouse saying they were officially engaged! They were celebrating their 4th year together as a couple when Franjo popped the question and Kylee said "YES!" We were so excited for the two and couldn't wait to share this special day with them. It gets even better, because not only would we be there to witness their union as friends in the audience but we would get to document this love through our camera lens. It was such an amazing day for all of us. Kylee was an absolutely stunning bride! She is a hair stylist and make-up artist, so looking perfect on her day was a must! She collaborated with Fran, a friend and fellow stylist at The W Salon to do her hair and it came out perfectly. Her friend, Stacey, did all of the girls' make-up for the day, including my eyes. She did a fabulous job! These girls know how to make you gorgeous, I love them all. Our bride and groom decided to see each other before the wedding so we could take advantage of the daylight for photo ops. We came up with an awesome plan for the two to have their first look by the tracks at the Fullerton Train Depot. What a way to start your celebration. The two were so happy to see each other, as it was a tear jerker for all. I had to wipe my eyes a few times as we shot this amazing moment. Filled with fall colors, love and fun we give you Franjo and Kylee. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness. Thank you so much for this wonderful honor of documenting such a beautiful love! Congratulations again, we love ya! J+D

It is the Mr. and Mrs.

The first dance... I absolutely cried. A song Jeff and I both love, Ben Fold's singing "The Luckiest". We always said if we got married again this would be our song.

Brian+Mandy=Married, Montage Resort Wedding

Recently we shot this intimate wedding of Brian and Mandy at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. We were so excited to share their day with them at this gorgeous location! Our bride, Mandy, is from England. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I was drawn to her English accent and the excitement in her voice. Shortly after, we met Brian and Mandy and instantly clicked with them. As they sat across from us in our first meeting, Mandy told us all about how she came to America and settled in a place in Laguna Niguel. She used to visit the Montage Park and beach area just to walk around or sit and thought what a great place this would be to get married. Later she met Brian and that dream wedding on the lawn at the Montage had become a reality.

Many of you may know that the Montage Resort sits on the property in Laguna Beach that used be a luxury mobile home park. My family visited there for many summers as I grew up and it was always a special spot for us. When we were approached to do this wedding for Brian and Mandy it made me realize that life really does come full circle. You find yourself in a place at one moment in time and somehow you make your way back there without even trying. As a child, I played on that beach and now I have gone back as a grown woman with the man I love and a profession that we are truly passionate about. Both Mandy and I had come full circle, life is amazing and here we have some fabulous moments of this wonderful couple on their special day. Congratulations to Brian and Mandy, we thank you for sharing this gorgeous day with us. All the best to you both! J+D

The two shared their vows on the lawn just outside the Studio Restaurant and had a fabulous dinner reception to follow there as well.

After the I-do's we went down to the beach before the sun set where we took a few casual shots of the wedding party. The two then took a little romantic time to just walk and be a couple, we enjoyed their moments immensely.

I loved the girls Tiffany blue dresses!

A beautiful view for a beautiful love!
