Intimate Malibu Wedding - David + Zar

David and Zar live in Vancouver, Canada but their summer wedding held at Gull's Way in Malibu with close friends and family. Gull's Way is the late TV personality Dick Clark's house, and in fact, Beyonce was apparently staying next door to this estate for a quick vacation during their wedding ceremony. This international couple met in 2009 online and decided to settle in Vancouver, but Zar was born in Malaysia and grew up in Tel Aviv, Israel while David was born in San Diego but grew up in Westlake Village (between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara). I always wonder what my wedding would be and honestly, I get ideas from my own clients every weekend. And this intimate wedding with about 30 people would probably be mine if there's a wedding. I'm not sure if my family can make it (like Zar's family couldn't), but I know the wedding will be filled with emotions like theirs - nervousness, excitement, happiness, and a little bit of sadness for those who couldn't physically be there. 

The Ruby Street, Highland Park Wedding - Katie + Russ

You know how people say that your friends represent you? When I met Katie and Russ, I felt like that a bit. They both work in journalism field; Katie is an entertainment news editor at Buzzfeed and Russ is also a movie (magazine) editor. My last job at The Associated Press was such a million years ago, but I always strive for telling stories our life as it is and it's such an honor that I get to do that on wedding days. Family and friends at Katie and Russ' wedding were also so prepared/trained for me to do my job - like, 'oh, it's just Annie - she's doing her thing - let's just ignore her.' Their day was filled with a lot of happy tears and dancing at The Ruby Street in Highland Park last summer; and here are some my personal favorites! (Oh, and yes, Brett Butterstein "assisted" me again; in fact, you'll see lots of our collaboration coming up. :D)
