The talented lead singer and drummer of one of our favorite West Coast Music bands, the James Gang, got married in Las Vegas. The ceremony was at the Wynn Las Vegas and had their reception at Maggiano's. Brandi and Jason's passion for music is what initially drew them together. The event was filled with their closest family and friends, which included many talented musicians. After feasting on the wonderful food, it was a live concert showcasing some of the most talented musicians in our industry. Brandi got up on the mic to serenade her grandmother to "At Last", and Jason rocked out on the drums to some of his favorite rock tunes!-Brooke
Adie and Brian who lived in NY, were married in Laguna Beach at the Montage Resort and Spa. To bring a little of NY with them, we did an ice luge of the NY skyline with signature martinis. Adie and Brian are candy and dessert lovers. They themed the wedding around sweet treats; caramel apples by Will of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, candy jars filled with sour apples, sour belts, pink gumballs and red licorice by White Lilac. Even their tables were named after desserts. Hot pink silk menu folders and table name cards were created by Paper girl. Red velvet, one of my favorite dessert, was also featured as the cake topper made by Linda of The Cake Studio They did not skimp on sugar as they also served dessert wine/ Moscato with cake. But the most amazing part of the room was the smoked color plexiglass suspended over table tops with crystals, candles and flowers in water bubbles strung from each plexi. The genius Sunny of White Lilac carefully planned the rigging and positioning of the square and rectangle tables. Lush dahlias, roses and orchids filled silk wrapped containers, while dusty pink draping with a black bottom border lined the room. Hot pink and red lighting by Shine help set the tone for after dinner party by DJ Hideo.

It wasn't love at first sight, it was love at first email. Claire and Lance found each other on EHarmony. Claire was hesitant at first to use the site, but with the encouragement of her cousin she decided to take a shot at it. Lucky for her, she found the man of her dreams, Lance. With their upcoming wedding in July 2008, they recently shot their engagement photos with the amazing Aaron Delesie before Lance, a Major in the Marines, was deployed back to Iraq for the second time. It was only fitting that they did their shoot at Camp Pendleton on the tanker that Lance drives. I know they are both looking forward to a beautiful summer wedding upon Lance's return. We ALL support you and the troops Lance!-Brooke
Jessica and Ed wanted an intimate gathering of close family and friends and found the Botanical Garden at St. Regis to be the perfect location for their group. Florist Pat Elliot provided crisp white, fresh floral to enhance the space. Thick layer of rose petals and pomander flower balls lined the aisle while parasols and fans kept guests cool. Rather than doing a long lunch, they did an extended cocktail hour of heavier tray passed foods, like coconut shrimp, lobster medallions and Malaysian beef satay. They utilized both the extra cool wine room and the wine terrace. After all of this, they invited everyone over to a private estate they rented for a casual pool party with a special Korean dinner and wedding cake...it was 100 degrees that weekend, perfect weather for a dip in the pool. Felicia Perry Photographywas there to capture both amazing events. -Jeannie
