The gorgeous Nicole Miller wedding dress!

Beautiful bride!

Loved the red and orange color scheme for the wedding, the girls loved the fresh flowers in their hair!

Waiting under the tent while the rain continued falling.

The moment when the sun finally appeared….the throwing of the umbrella. Rainy day wedding no more!

This duo was so amazing. The live cello and guitar was such a perfect touch for this backyard wedding. It literally brought tears come to (my) Jamie’s eyes. Falling slowly by Glen Hansard is all I have to say. After the ceremony, before everyone came out of the tent, we caught such an intimate and romantic moment. One of my favorite shots of the day.

Their handmade polaroid gift from us:

The bird nest theme for the table settings:

For the reception they had a swing rockabilly group perform.

A few shots from their photobooth turned mudbooth. The rain and mud didn’t stop anyone from having a great time at this amazing upstate new york wedding!

Harmony from Hush Hush Salon did an amazing job with Megan’s hair, the accent flower was a nice touch! Megan wore a Nicole Miller gown, we heart NM gowns for their elegant simplicity.

There were so many awesome details that we loved about this wedding! Megan and Simon came up with the turquoise and orange color scheme, along with the little scrolly image, and they incorporated it into their paper products and this cool wooden wedding sign that Simon handmade himself!

LaFleur Flowers did an amazing job with the bouquets! Loved how they added lavendar to the bouquets. The succulents throughout the home, backyard and centerpieces were lovingly planted by Megan’s mom. She would have Simon and Megan pick up a few from the Farmer’s Market, grew them herself and in the end, created the most beautiful backyard wedding on the bluffs of Palos Verdes.

Simon stayed at the Terranea Resort, located five minutes from Megan’s place. I believe this was their first weekend open, wow, what an amazing resort on the grounds of the old Marine Land aquarium.

First look time, we encourage this as it’s a completely private and intimate time before the ceremony that allows our couple’s to take each other in and embrace the moment before the craziness of the wedding day takes over.

In a welcome trend, Megan chose a color palette and lets her girls pick the dress; a thoughtful gesture that always turns out great. Love this moment as they all peek at the first look, such a supportive and wonderful group of friends including Katrina, one of our former brides, on the far right!

Super proud daddy walking her down the aisle.

The glorious space for the ceremony, later to double as the reception area. The big blue ocean was right behind the guitarist. Seriously breathtaking!

Megan was so happy and relaxed all day, special thank to RonAnn Myers for making our job easy by bringing out Megan’s natural beauty and glow!

Lots of details with the help from El Segundo’s New York Food Company. They had guests excited with their shrimp and beef grilling right there on site!

There’s a little glimpse of the cover of Megan and Simon’s polaroid gift we gave them on the bottom right. Here’s the inside. We love sending our couple’s off with a few actual photos from their day! Each cover is unique and handmade by Jamie.

Here’s to you Megan and Simon, we’re happy to call you friends and wish you the very best in your new lives together!
