Marina Del Rey Marriott Hotel “Inception” Wedding | DKLA {Part 2}
May 28th
Congratulations to Don & Kaycee aka DKLA on their 1 year wedding anniversary!
I still remember their wedding like it was yesterday and couldn’t resist sharing some of my favortite highlights from their big day. If you read our part 1 post, you’ll know how sweet and loving these two love birds are. I was fortunate enough to have met them both (July 22nd, 2010 to be exact), and beyond that, help them to create a day worthy of their love.
Working with them to create their wedding was so much fun and they truly embraced my role as their Wedding Planner allowing for open communication and trust which made the whole process much more enjoyable. It was a total dream come true – everyone was genuinely happy and caring for Don and Kaycee and they were excited to start their future together. A big thank you to Kevin Lee for capturing all the beauty of the day.
DKLA…I hope you will always enjoy looking back at your very special wedding day. Much love to the two of you! xoxo


















IN N OUT break right after ceremony was the best idea!

Of course this wedding is incomplete without an amazing Inception/Reception concept movie produced by Loyd Calomay. Loyd shared another highlight video as their anniversary gift and I’m thrilled to share it with you below!

May 10th
As seen on Style Me Pretty, this photo shoot was so much fun! I threw out the idea of incorporating my ever-growing love for all things ombré a couple months ago, and we were off on a journey to build something beautiful. After weeks of planning, crafting, and contacting vendors, the details finally all came together and the result was absolutely gorgeous.
Without any further ado…I hope you enjoy, and are inspired, by this springy, vintage-purple-ombré shoot!
A special thanks to Brandon for the stunning images and Style Me Pretty for featuring our work.
