Hotel Maya, Long Beach Oceanfront Wedding | Wonhee + Sungmin
Mar 23rd
Who needs a destination wedding in Hawaii when you could bring the sea to you? Having lived so close to the coast in southern California, Wonhee and Sungmin have always wanted to go sailing. Their wedding was at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, across from the gorgeous harbor of Long Beach. The inspiration board allowed for this nautical themed wedding to be unique, fun, and elegant as we had a chance to play with the dessert bar by incorporating cute donut lifesavers!
At the ceremony, ropes resembling those of boats, lined the aisle and were incorporated in the brides bouquet. The bride and groom had their very own personalized stationary with an anchor design as well as custom linens and napkins. The ring pillow had an anchor design as well. We got creative with the bride and groom sign using the nautical inspiration and created the captain and first mate sign! The personalized dance floor monogram was an eye catcher for all of the guests.
With a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and the wedding’s beautiful light blue, navy, light grey and soft butter details, Wonhee and Sungmin invited their guests to come sail away with them on their next journey together. Studio EMP did a fabulous job with the photography at the wedding!
Featured on Green Wedding Shoes | Watercolor Inspired Photoshoot
Jul 10th
As seen on Green Wedding Shoes, this “art gallery inspired” styled shoot was so much fun to do!
With the help of some of my favorite vendors, we created an elegant, modern, and yet playful theme.
I was always inspired by so many art pieces around me especially the paintings,
so I started clipping bits of ideas together.
Then I created a story about a girl and boy who fall in love at an art exhibit…
Vince is an art history professor and Olivia is a painter.
Maybe it was destiny’s unmistakable setup that they first met at an art exhibit.
Both inspired by the abstract expressionist painter, Jackson Pollock,
they frequented galleries or museums on weekends for the past two years they dated.
Now for their wedding, they wished to re-create their passionate moments and their undying love for art + painting.
The shoot was inspired by lots of gorgeous watercolors (in the paper details + cake)
and Jackson Pollock (in the backdrop + macaroons).
how pretty is this palette inspired dinner menu & color wheel charger!…from Treespace Studio
water color magic…
I have to give thanks to the many incredible vendors that contributed their time and talents to this shoot.
Without them, this project wouldn’t have been possible.
Amazing photographer Scott worked so hard to capture beautiful details,
creative mastermind duo - Christina & Zaid went above and beyond with florals & props,
and Amy from Treespace Studio made it all so perfect with gorgeous stationery – her creative touches blew me away.
SLS hotel provided a perfect backdrop and Designer 8 furniture was so elegant and unique.
Oh and the incredible cake & desserts! Melody from Sweet and Saucy exceeded everyone’s expectation.
The Sea Is Calling | Sailing Themed Inspiration Board
Jun 29th
Come sail with me, the ocean calls
It’s a rhythmic call for us to sail away
Oh please sail away with me today
Together we’ll face sunsets on the sea
Sunsets made special, you’re with me
The morning sun will refresh our day
And keep all dangers, far, far away…
This sailing inspiration board was designed for one of my clients for their recent seaside wedding. Can’t wait to show how it all came together beautifully in reality!
…Its siren song beckons for me to splash in the surf and dig my toes down deep in the cool soft sand.
The sea is calling me…
Aqua
