Jessica and Eric's wedding was my first wedding of the year, held on a beautiful winter day in Malibu. The forecast called for rain but that never dampening their spirits. Mother Nature held off until the outdoor ceremony was over, showering us with some rain and hail... but I'll save that for later!
The wedding was at Calamigos Ranch, a beautiful rustic location, and I found Jessica getting ready in the cutest little cabin-style room, surrounded by her mom and girlfriends. Dress by Alfred Angelo, shoes by Luichiny, and beautiful hair piece by Ola's Dream World.






I found Eric with his groomsmen... look at these cool cuff links he found and shared with his best man.



Flowers by my favorite valley floral shop, Mr. B's Flowers.

Although I always will defer to the wishes of my couples, I must say, I do prefer to do a "first-look" so we have time to do some awesome portraits. I had to post a bunch from this series as Eric looked so sweet and Jessica was just beaming...







The couple had help from the family to decorate their DIY, wine/music themed wedding.




Amazing cupcakes by Sweet Arleen's ... and I love that the cake topper was custom made and so perfect for them! Okay, so within ten minutes of everyone moving inside for the reception, it began to hail... a lot! It might of well have been snow... in Malibu! It didn't last long enough to get Jessica and Eric out in it but one of the groomsmen was enjoying it.
