Connie and Ted’s adorable engagement session is so unexpected for Los Angeles—there’s no trace of the city, just lots of hearty succulents, a little potting soil, and so much love! These two genuinely enjoy playing and hanging out together, and it’s so clear in these fab photos from Caroline Tran. We’re sure that the couple who gardens together, stays together!

We are completely in love with Debbie and Kevin’s fun Huntington Beach engagement session! The California light is simply lovely, and the love that Debbie and Kevin have for each other shines through in every image. We love Debbie’s beautiful cobalt dress paired with Kevin’s dapper navy suit, and their quick change into more relaxed beachy-toned wear, too! Sit back and enjoy all of the beautiful images from Christine Choi Photography!
How fun is this safari-style engagement session from Esther Sun Photography?

Nicole and Jackie’s engagement session may be one of the sweetest we’ve ever seen! Captured by Adrienne Gunde Photography around Los Feliz and in Griffith Park, the couple smiled and cuddled outdoors in the California sunshine, and their love simply radiates in these images. So pretty!
How adorable are Nicole and Joey? The newly engaged couple wanted to incorporate their love of music into their photo session with Brandon Kidd Photography, so they headed to the largest record store in the world—Amoeba Music in Los Angeles—to snap some fun shots before heading out to the streets of downtown for a few more pictures. We love the laid-back California vibe of this hip engagement session!
This beautiful home is tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, and the secluded setting is just perfect for Janet and James, who only have eyes for each other! The beautiful Caroline Tran captured the couple in this intimate setting—cooking, reading, and just enjoying life. We just adore these lovely images!
Dreamy is the first word that comes to mind when looking at these lovely beach engagement photos! Joanne and Johnny picked up oysters from their favorite spot—Hog Island Oyster Farm—for a romantic picnic near Point Reyes. We love the vintage feel the deserted shore plus rentals from Dreamy Whites gives this session! We think Joanne and Johnny look stunning and happy in these beautiful images from KT Merry Photography!
We love a casual, fun-loving engagement shoot, and Chris and Cassi’s Coney Island engagement photos by Jen Huang Photography are fabulous! The cute couple spent a day at the Brooklyn boardwalk playing games, trying out carnival rides, and just generally being in love. The result is adorable photos that show off Cassi and Chris’s personalities. We are completely smitten!
Laura and John—fresh from a flight home to Chicago from Istanbul!—spent a day around the West Loop with Julia Franzosa Photography for their casual but hip engagement photos. Navy and green are crisp and vibrant in their images at The Publican and near Fulton Market; monochromatic outfits on abandoned railroad tracks give off an earthy, laid-back vibe. We especially love the cozy, homey feel of the couple sitting on their front steps. Laura and John look so comfortable in these photos, and we just adore their natural smiles and happy faces!
Jean and Dan’s lovely and modern California wedding at The Ebell of Los Angeles features great details we’re thrilled to share with you! Let’s start with those fabulous coral bridesmaids dresses from Anthropologie—the tea length is flattering on everyone, and we adore the color! Jean chose an ethereal Vera Wang gown to pair with Jimmy Choo ballet flats—genius and mandatory for comfort and a day spent on your feet. Live. Love. Create. Event Design and Coordination helped Jean and Dan plan their contemporary affair with crisp details, like cream and black reception decor paired with vintage-look travel tags on tables, and a frilly and delicious cake from the Sweet and Saucy Shop. The always fabulous Caroline Tran shot these beautiful images—enjoy them all in the gallery!
Akane and Gimpei are simply adorable in their engagement photos taken in breathtaking Kyoto, Japan! We’re huge fans of international photo shoots because they’re a fun way to show the personalities of couples. For a true taste of Japanese culture, Anna Wu Photography captured wonderful images of Akane and Gimpei in and around Kiyomizu-dera. The couple is stunning, and we love these playful and romantic shots!
Megan and Josh look so sunny and in love in these charming shots from their engagement session with J. Layne Photography! Josh’s purple plaid with Megan’s bright yellow and blue is such a pretty combination in these outdoor photos. Of course, we simply adore vintage touches, and the icy blue bicycle complete with flowers in its wicker basket is almost too much fabulous to handle!
We think Erin and Constantine are absolutely adorable, and so is their engagement session shot by Troy Grover Photographers! The couple started with oysters at Shuck Oyster Bar in Costa Mesa, California, before wandering around The OC Mart Mix laughing, smiling, kissing, and just being in love. What a wonderful way to celebrate their engagement!
Nikki and Matt look so glamorous in these fun images of their engagement session with Hazelnut Photography! The cool blue vintage Mercedes convertible ups the old-school feel, and stops around Pasadena, California, add to the classic romantic vibe. Isn’t Nikki gorgeous in her navy and ivory classic dresses? We just adore each and every little bit of their sweet day!
Laura and Tim’s country-chic engagement photos make our hearts smile! Ken Kienow photographed the fab couple on Tim’s family ranch in Paso Robles, California, just hanging out, playing with their dogs, and lounging inside an amazing vintage-style tent. These pictures are utterly romantic, and we love both the couple and their pups!
When a stunning couple is matched with an incredible photographer and a gorgeous backdrop, the result is absolute perfection. This shoot by Bryce Covey is precisely that perfection! In their engagement shoot, Stephanie and Garrett are positively glowing in the rolling hills of Santa Barbara. We love the simplicity and natural beauty of setting, no props needed for this shoot! The unbelievable light of the setting sun warmed not only these fantastic photos, but our hearts as well!
Who knew that a game of Sorry could be so stylish? But if this insanely fabulous engagement shoot by Ken Kienow is any clue, it seems that anything Pamela and Troy do is super stylish! The Victorian was the perfect Santa Monica venue for this cool California session, too, with its beautiful outdoor courtyard and dramatic indoor bar. From playing board games to enjoying a cocktail and lounging around with a good book,  this couple is gorgeous, cool and clearly completely smitten with each other!
Could there be a better way to celebrate two creative, vibrant, crazy-about-each other actors than with a colorful and fun engagement session in Chinatown? We certainly don’t think so! In fact, we couldn’t dream of a more perfect engagement shoot setting for Alex and Lawrence-Michael, a San Francisco couple who love theater and met while performing in the same musical. Alex (donning the fabulous bow tie) and Lawrence-Michael (rocking the beard) have an urban, preppy and modern style that comes to life in their adorable engagement photos. The bright murals, lantern-lined streets and painted brick backdrops are the cherry on top of this happy photo session, and we thank Tinywater Photography for sharing these amazing images!
Hayley and Luke were a bit nervous when meeting up with Marianne and Joe of Marianne Wilson Photography for their engagement photos, but once the couple sipped on milkshakes at a local diner in Santa Monica, they were all smiles! The gorgeous California surfer town could only be made prettier by the glow of these two, who went from diner to beach to picnic to get these images that effortlessly capture their low-key So-Cal personalities. Their dreamy eyes give them away—we know true love when we see it!
How appropriate that the backdrop for this engagement session is the happiest place on earth! Brittney and David—both Disney animators—had a pretty idyllic setting for their photo shoot with Matt and Angie of Sloan Photographers. You can’t help but smile when scrolling through these whimsical images—these are two people who know how to have fun together. We love that the personality of this creative couple comes shining through as bright as the California sun!
After getting engaged during a hot air balloon ride over Sonoma County, photographer Kristy Ahumada of Volatile Photography knew Carlyn and Davey would love a woodsy water setting reminiscent of that scenery for their photo session, complete with peonies from their garden. Fresh berries represent the couple’s love of picking fruit together, collected in a box crafted just for them by a friend. We can’t think of a sweeter way to capture the love between these two!
Natives of Los Angeles, Michelle and Miguel wanted a spot for their wedding that didn’t feel like typical LA. The Legendary Park Plaza Hotel was the perfect venue for that, with its dramatic staircases, ceilings, and windows. The Dainty Lion helped Michelle and Miguel plan a celebration that was uniquely theirs, which included lush peony bouquets, baby’s breath topiaries, and pretty blooms in glass vases along tables peppered with gold sequin linens. Bridesmaids in taupe dresses were elegant, especially standing next to Michelle in a lace and tulle Pronovias gown from Bellasposa. We love Michelle’s blue Badgley Mischka shoes with sparkling brooches! Romantic touches such as floral stationery from Wedding Paper Divas and feather accents on place settings matches the drama of the location! A dessert table at the reception featured macaroons from Sweet and Saucy Shop, topped off with a cake designed by Hotcakes Bakes. We’re swooning over every detail in these photos from Love, Janet Photography!
Liz and Jason’s elegant wedding completely eschews a modernist LA vibe for pretty pastels and soft touches that shine in these images from Christine Farah Photography! We’re enamored with the airy layers of Liz’s bridal gown, paired with delicate pearl jewelry and a romantic updo. Soft pink bridesmaids dresses set the tone for flowers in the same color family by Milieu Florals. With CCL Weddings and Events onboard to lead the planning and design, Liz and Jason created the perfect day for them and their friends and family. Following the ceremony at Los Angeles Full Gospel Church, the lovely Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at The Music Center played host to the reception. There, the couple took part in a tea ceremony to pay homage to their heritage. Pink chevron and vintage touches created a fairytale space for dinner, dancing, and a luscious dessert from Cakery Bakery. This affair couldn’t be more gorgeous. See it all right here!
We’re firm believers in elegant simplicity, and that’s precisely what Esther and Jeremy’s LA restaurantwedding delivers! In these sweet and sophisticated images from Alders Photography, what stands out most is the lush cream and green florals by Dandelion Ranch. All other decor is kept minimal for both the ceremony and reception at LA’s mod and earthy Campanile Restaurant. Esther stuns in a column-style Vera Wang gown that features an ecru-colored embellishment on the waist, defining the dress with an extra-special touch we adore! Likewise, the understated boutonniere on Jeremy’s Ermenegildo Zegna suit is a classic but stylish detail. This day was perfect for the bride and groom, who just wanted to celebrate and enjoy the occasion surrounded by family and friends.
What a picture-perfect Los Angeles wedding Lynn and Steve had! We’d never guess this pretty pink and white affair is set in the heart of LA, with soft blooms from Stems Florist festooning the setting at Maguire Gardens, where the ceremony was held, and Cafe Pinot, site of the reception! Our friends at Minted contributed elegant stationery, and Caroline of Serenity Events helped Lynn and Steve coordinate the day of the wedding. Bridesmaids wore short light pink dresses from J.Crew, the perfect complement to Lynn’s stunning Monique Lhuillier gown. And we can’t leave out Steve, handsome in a Black by Vera Wang suit! We love the mod look of Lynn’s silver snakeskin Jimmy Choo heels, too. The outdoor soiree offered plenty of great natural light for Esther Sun to photograph it perfectly. We hear at the end of the night, Lynn and Steve surprised guests with a visit from the In-N-Out Burger Cookout Trailer—a delicious finish to the flawless event! See it all in the gallery!
Charles’ and Brianna’s downtown Los Angeles wedding is full of elegance and sophistication! The couple chose the rooftop of The Los Angeles Athletic Club for their ceremony, to which Brianna wore a structured gown with a mod silhouette. Bridesmaids chose their own vintage-inspired gowns in the taupe-gold family, and beading on the dresses made sure they shined in the city’s afternoon light! Pink and gold flowers mixed with subtle baby’s breath from Rosebud Floral Design dressed up the gorgeous ballroom, and the wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Whitney Wing Drake of Wish Wonder Dream. These gorgeous photos from B&G Photography have us swooning at the old world glamour, right down to the gold wedding cake draped in pearls from Porto’s Bakery & Cafe. See all of the fabulous details in the gallery!
We are smitten with the lovely details of Kristen and Kevin’s Los Angeles wedding at the Skirball Cultural Center! Lush pink and white flowers from G Fiori Floral Design are soft and pretty against Kristen’s Anne Barge gown from The White Dress. The ribbon and rhinestone belt of the gown was the inspiration for the gray bridesmaids dresses from J.Crew. Tall pink and green topiary arrangements and a dessert table filled with sweets surrounds a tall white confection from Cake Crumbs have us drooling. Wish Wonder Dream Wedding Coordination ensured that the day went smoothly, just like these images from Heidi Ryder Photography show!

We love a gorgeous spring wedding, and this one fills the bill perfectly. Stephanie and Jeremy’s wedding at the Hotel Bel Air was held in the garden beneath a gazebo draped with lush flowers and greenery by Flower Wild. The flowy light taupe of the Amsale bridesmaids dresses are elegant next to Stephanie’s ethereal Monique Lhuillier gown. We love the look of organic elements like tree bark and moss and twinkling lights shown in these photos from Gia Canali Photography. This is such a lovely, gorgeous affair!
