San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Wedding, Shelby + Perry
 

San Miguel de Allende in Mexico has a very very special space in my heart. That’s where Brett and I first met working together and where we have traveled to the most, so whenever there’s an opportunity given to me to go back there, I’m certainly SUPER delighted to do so. This time, it was for Shelby and Perry’s wedding.

Beautifully planned and decorated by Penzi Weddings, and assisted by a wonderful photographer Daniel Aguilar, their wedding held at the iconic Rosewood San Miguel de Allende.

Shelby is a teacher while Perry works in finance; she attracts people with her kindness and excellent leadership while Perry is calm, “corky” (according to a wedding guest) and smart and will do just about everything Shelby wants. They love traveling and have seen a lot of the world. She’s born and raised in Midland, TX, and Perry was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. They believe unique cultures are what makes the world go around, and they truly love celebrating everything about life. <3

 
MANHATTAN BEACH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION, VERANDAS BEACH HOUSE - JACKIE + EAMON

Jackie is super chill and funny (at least to me because she makes me laugh!) She and I have something in common; she is a journalist! I seriously give lots of credits who are working in the journalism field - which I left a long time ago. It’s a super fun job - especially in the 20s, but things are a lot different now with the internet and social media, etc. (I sound pretty old. Ugh.) Eamon is more of a reserved guy who is a lawyer.

The couple met in college at UT Austin while they both lived in the same dorm building. Friends first, then things evolve from there - my favorite kind!

When I asked Jackie what she loves the most about Eamon, she said “He says he’s 5’11 but he’s actually 5’10.5.”

Her grandmother who is 98 years old was the star of her family, and she was able to stay until late night which was very impressive. Jackie and Eamon’s wedding was held at Verandas Beach House in Manhattan Beach.

INTIMATE BACKYARD WEDDING IN LOS ANGELES - CAT + SEAN
 

When I first met Cat, a vice president of A&E Network/Lifetime, and Sean, an amazing musician and writer in Los Angeles, we laughed a lot - OUT LOUD - almost too much because my face hurt. She burst into laughters like I would (which is actually insanely hard to find for some reasons! lol) and the way Sean adores Cat was simply incredible.

Their original wedding was in Los Olivos of Santa Barbara County, but basically everything was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 pandemic. So what did we do? We had everyone tested for COVID and got together at their home backyard in LA, just with 12 people and their dog Tito. Sean’s best friend Glen officiated the ceremony.

I personally was very touched by the love Holland and Maddy (Sean’s daughters) have for Cat. I get choked up just thinking about their (including Cat’s) acceptance of life and all other amazing emotions.

The day was simply beautiful, welcoming and cozy; filled with love and euphoria.
