Because I like the unexpected


Two of my favorites from our engagment photo sesh


My latest work of art: my wedding!


Our wedding was on the North shore of Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point. My dad made signs that lead the guests on a path that meandered through a park on the way to the sand. 

A "shoe valet" awaited the guests at the end of the path



Our Mary Poppins moment







Our reception was at a private residence in Newport Beach which was so intimate and special






Traditional catering is boring and expensive, so I hired Soho Taco to feed my guests. The food was amazing and fresh as it was cooked to order.

I loved all of the different types of salsas they offered...it gave the food a little something special

While toasting, we sipped on champagne garnished with a sprig of lavendar


As the evening came to a close, we brought out the scotch and cigars. It was a special moment for everyone who stayed late and celebrated with us until the wee hours of the morning.

The best day of my life!
