Boho Chic Wedding at The Old Rancho Estate in Carlsbad, CA // Belen and Ross

Carlsbad, CA

What can I say about Belen and Ross? Their sense of humor - top notch. The way they goof around each other - my fav. The way they love on each other - the best of the best!

Their wedding took place at the Old Rancho Estate in Carlsbad, CA on a steadily overcast day. I guess I kept talking about harsh light during their early morning engagement session in Riverside, so when their wedding turned out overcast, they kept telling me they did it for me so I could have my nice even light hahaha So much love for these two!

Let’s give a moment to obsess over their wedding colors! It’s basically genius. Rust orange with light teals and emerald greens were **chef’s kiss. The boho chic look mixed with the Spanish inspired architecture at the Old Rancho Estate was absolutely gorgeous and really brought out Ross and Belen’s fun personalities!

How PERFECT does Belen look?! That crown head piece, that red lip, THE DRESS!

Their first look down the aisle is everything!!

Rustic-Chic Backyard Wedding // Haylee and Chris

Haylee and Chris were a breath of fresh air! They were our first full wedding when weddings were finally allowed after quarantine and it was just all kinds of wonderful.

These two are actually high school sweethearts and went to the same high school as Andy - such a small world, and so fun to find out as we got to talk to them more on their wedding! If you want to find out more about their cute story, definitely watch the video below:

Verdugo Adobe Wedding // Melina and Ashot

Summer Green Wedding of Two Dear Friends
Glendale, CA

“But first, highlight video!”

We were SO excited for Melina and Ashot’s wedding! We witnessed a lot of their love story first hand and were privileged to take their gorgeous engagement photos (check them out here!).

Melina is a total ball of manic energy! She is so talkative, curious, and has the most infectious laugh. She is always a pleasure to be around and will always bring a fun dynamic to conversations.

Ashot is Melina’s opposite and perfect match. He is very calm and more on the quiet side, but he has a strong wit to match Melina’s and a subtle humor. He would be the first to tell you that he wasn’t used to being the center of attention of so many people. But on their wedding day he only had eyes for Melina.

When he first saw his bride in her dress Ashot’s face lit up like Christmas morning (we captured it in slomo and it is hands down my favorite part of their wedding film!). Check out the highlights video

Their wedding day seemed to mirror their personalities. Moments of quiet expectation gave way to endless laughter and dancing. And speaking of dancing, one of the aspects of their wedding we enjoyed most were the cultural traditions they incorporated. A group of performers did a traditional Armenian dance at their reception! The couple’s families also incorporated a number of other traditions for good fortune and blessing. We always feel so blessed to capture and share in these intimate moments and to experience parts of other cultures that we might normally never see.
