Happy 1st Anniversary ~ Lauren & Stephen

Happy 1st Anniversary to Lauren & Stephen (and a happy July 4th to everyone)!!

What a great time we had helping Lauren and Stephen plan the perfect July 4th celebration for all of their friends and family. I plan to share all the details in a full post later in July - wait till you see the gorgeous flowers and all the amazing details (including the 1000's of homemade cookies by Lauren and her mother)!

Love Lauren's gorgeous gown and Stephen's dapper tux against the sand in Marina del Rey!

Lauren & Stephen ~ Engagement Session ~ Venice Beach

I am excited to share some of these gorgeous pictures from Lauren & Stephen's engagement session with Laura of Beautiful Day Photography. Lauren & Stephen got married on July 4th in Marina del Rey, and what an amazing day they had celebrating their love with family and friends.

I just love how they used all the amazing nooks and crannies throughout Venice!

These pictures all made an amazing guest book that guests spent the entire night looking at...

You can check out more pics from this fun session directly on Beautiful Day's blog.

Stay tuned for pics from their July 4th blow out celebration coming soon.

I wanted to provide a little summer inspiration for all of our readers. We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with the amazing Gina at Mille Fiori, and she and her team delivered for our clients. Lauren & Stephen got married on July 4th, and Lauren's colors were a watermelon pink with accents of orange & corals. She really wanted to create an amazing summer vibe for her Marina del Rey wedding, and Gina surpassed all of my expectations!

Here are a couple of sneak pics of the gorgeous florals by Gina and her team, courtesy of Laura at Beautiful Day Photography, be sure to stay tuned for the complete wedding post, so many gorgeous shots to chose from will take me a little longer to get the whole wedding together.

What a bright color palette for this beautiful Southern California Monday.
