fig house wedding in los angeles: rebecca + lee are married! -modern jewish wedding LA

Rebecca + Lee have shown up here a few times before… like for their Hollywood Forever engagement sesh, or their Walk of Frame post the day after their wedding, but it is finally time to show their entire day in all its glory.

sunrise wedding at burning man: tanja + jan are married!

This is a sentence we’ll only get to say once in our lives, so we’d better make it good…

We met Jan in Antarctica, and so we were thrilled when he asked us to shoot his playa wedding to the love of his life, Tanja.

WHEW. Like I said. That sentence?!!

These two humans are absolute light, and have become such dear friends of ours’. It was a life joy to get to celebrate love + life with them this early morning at the Burn.

 

darling media retreat in joshua treen with ugg

Sometimes I’m not traveling to another country or shooting a wedding or replying to an email, so I thought I’d tell you a bit about that today, like the time last month when I got invited on a retreat with ugg x darling in magical Joshua Tree with a gaggle of other glorious gals.

The whole thing was curated (and cooked for!) by none other than Kara Elise; an LA-sis I’ve grown to know and love over the past few years, and she went above and beyond to make sure every single second was delicious. intentional. beautiful. relaxing…

From personality workshops (where my Myers-Briggs and Enneagram junkies at?!) to horseback riding, to hikes to jewelry-making, literally every moment was too good to be true.

I’m understated. Apparently.


My Light Lab cohort, Anne, was also one of the ladies in attendance, and we got to be roomies that were basically always seen in our ugg robes. I still haven’t taken mine off. If you’ve seen my Insta story, you know I have even worn it out in public. Not sorry.

goodies! apothekeco / herbivorebotanicals / winc / cocokindskincare / berlinskin / perfectbar / invisibobble / oldorchardnh / spelacosmetics / pacificherbs / paulandjoe_beaute / sulwahsoo.us / indie_lee / lululemon / rebel_kitchenUS / chefscutjerky / flowh20 / primizie_snacks / snackapade / squirrelbrew

Those pink uggs are kiiiiinda too perfect with my sunnies, don’t you think?

Kind of obsessed. Those pink chairs just happened to be at the house we stayed at. Um. I love life.


Re-living these moments has me wondering… when can I go back? I need to plan more time to take intentional retreats, that’s for sure! xo

macedon ranges peony farm wedding (kath + leigh are married!) – melbourne candid wedding photographer

This is a bit of what it looks like when two people get married on a private property, just outside of Melbourne, Australia, in the Macedon Mountain Ranges.. and, when the bride’s family happens to own a peony farm. You’re about to see some real glory. Kath + Leigh’s day was a perfectly magical luncheon wedding, with more love and more billowy soft peonies than you could ever dream of seeing in a lifetime… much less one day! xx
