Rachel and Brian met in a dance class... not a surprise for two professional dancers. They are so gorgeous, you could almost imagine the attraction in that room, on that first day of seeing each other. After dating for awhile, Brian proposed to Rachel in Hawaii, where he was raised, so having a Malibu beach themed wedding was only appropriate for these two.
I loved the feel of this whole wedding. They managed to keep it modern and fresh with the white on white decor (including purple and black accents) with a young Hollywood edge. I loved working with Camilla from Element Weddings, who made the day flow so smoothly. And per my new requirement of only shooting weddings with a candy bar, my sweet tooth was fulfilled. Naw, just kidding... well, sort of kidding...
When Rachel put her wedding dress on, everyone gasped at how amazing the dress was and how breathtaking she looked...
I think Rachel was on the mark with her peacock feather accents. I'm seeing them pop up in a lot of wedding details.
And of course our groom. How good looking is this guy!
So thrilled that these two opted for seeing each other before the wedding. We got all our portraits done so after the wedding they were able to be with their friends and family right away. To say it was a very windy day would be an understatement but we found a great place for Rachel to hide as Brian come around to see her.
The fierce wedding party...
I love that the officiant talked about binding their love, using a cloth to 'tie the knot" and bring them together...
Here are some detail shots of the reception site at the Sunset Restaurant...
