Eliza & David 11-13-10

Eliza and David have to be one of my most memorable couples ever! I fell in love with Eliza the moment she sat at the table with me. Eliza has this huge heart of GOLD and her beauty is truly inside and out.

When Eliza tells me she has only 3 months till her wedding, the look on her face was fear because nothing was planned except the venue. I looked at Eliza and told her everything would be fine and I had no doubt that I could still make her wedding dreams come true.

Everything was AMAZING! With an evening ceremony at the San Fernando Cathedral, the night had just begun. Along with Mr. & Mrs. Volk, the wedding party entered the Weston Center by river barge. As they cruised down the river walk it was like they had their very own river parade with onlookers yelling their Congratulations to them.

As they arrived at the Weston Centre the Mariachis greeted them & the party came to life.

After an amazing dinner provided by A Gala Catering the party was just about to start. David (the groom) even took the party into his own hands by joining his band in a JAM session by playing the drums! The guests LOVED it!!

By the end of the night it was so hard for me to see them leave for their honeymoon, for I felt we had such a connction in the sense not only was I parting with another client but a new family member.

CONGRATULATIONS again, David and Eliza!!

ps) I will be waiting for the call for a baby shower!!

Merry Christmas from my Family to Yours!

Santa brought me my Christmas gift a little early this year. It was the best gift GOD could have given my family. Tiny little Brandon Anthony.

My little Brandon blessed our lives 12/10/10. He was 5lbs 10oz ( very tiny) and 18.5 inch.

Still Life Photography by Alexander Devora shot the most amazing pictures of my family and we can't thank them enough. They captured this very special moment in my life, it is very special to me. Thank you again Alex and Barbara!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

A Wedding Fit For A Queen

Saturday, October 23rd we held our first wedding at the breathtaking JW Marriott Resort and Spa. Christina and Odie finally tied the know after sharing 19 years together! I have been working on this wedding with Christina for 10mts and I she told me "I want to feel like a Princess" well when I took Christina and Odie into the ballroom I asked her if I captured that for her. "She said No, I feel Like A Queen!!" as she cried and jumped for joy!!

I knew I did a great job when I looked at there faces and they where crying in together. It was extremely a heart filled moment for me. At that point I knew once again this is where GOD wants me and to be here for all these couples.

The JW Marriott was amazing and a HUGE thanks goes out to Tammy and all her help making this all come to life. Most of all I want to thank from the bottom of my heart is my mother and her amazing team with Oak Hills Florist did an incredible job in all the flowers.

Absolutely Perfect!

More and professional pictures to come! I cant wait!!

Meet Eliza & David

They will be married November 13, 2010 at the breathtaking San Fernando Cathedral and reception to follow at Weston Center.

When I met with Eliza she was so overwhelmed with the planning process and just vented her heart out to me. I was so glad that I could come in and help her and have the opportunity to make this wedding become a reality to her.

How they met:

Their meeting was very unique! Eliza being the care free person she is had accumulated a TON of traffic tickets over years. When she could not renew her driver's license she decided to find a lawyer to help her get out of this mess. She looked in the phone book and Internet for a lawyer and came across the name "David Volk". She thought to herself that sounds like a strong man's name. She made her appointment to meet Mr. Volk at his office.

It turns out David got stuck in court for a child custody hearing when her appointment was scheduled. He had asked Eliza to come back in 2hrs. Well in the meantime Eliza decided to spend her time and money at North Star Mall and Eliza did not return to meet David. David tried emailing and contacting her but it never took place.

On Sept. 23 2008 David and friends where out having a drink when Eliza and her friend happen to walk by. David and Eliza's friend made eyes at each other, and before you know it David & Eliza where face to face stuck talking. Eliza asked him his name and she said "I know you David..."Seeing how beautiful she was David was in shock to think he had met this women and could not remember her" Then the name Eliza came to mind.. "Eliza!!"

Needless to say Eliza now has no tickets and her divers license cleared up and the rest is to come.

We look forward in making your day "Unforgettable"

2010 Wedding Fair

This years Wedding Fair was wonderful. A lot of vendors really out did them self and showing there true work. I was so impressed with every one's wonderful booths.

I went with a cobalt blue linen from my personal fav. BBJ Linens and white and green flowers from Oak Hills Florist. We had some crystal chandeliers in the front that where major eye catching and brides just LOVED them! Thanks Raphael for helping me with those.

Shows are always a lot of work and money, but in the end, we are very grateful to get the chance in meeting some wonderful couples. We hope to hear from them soon!


I am no photographer but here are a few pic's we took!

Loved this tall cylinder with crystals hanging from the vase and roses, orchids, and callas and much more!

This was such a fun arrangement.

The ultimate bouquet in my eyes. Any bride that want elegance say it with this. It was so pretty and had ton of compliments on it. I have one bride that made that her bouquet for her big day!!

Sandra & Jayson

Sandra was such a beautiful bride to work with. She was one of the most caring, loving, sweet brides I have ever come across. I loved working with her. She had come to wishing for a June wedding. I thought I was cut short on that time. Then 2 days later she calls and wants a November wedding. Meaning that was 5 weeks away from this point.

So what to do but just make it all happen. Two days after Thanksgiving Sandra and Jayson where now Mr. & Mrs. Cortez.

Ceremony and Reception was held at Paesanos 1604 and the service and food was amazing. I could not have more happier with it all. When Jayson tells me White & Black, and nothing else RED but my shoes I knew what he wanted. It was very romantic and sleek. LOVE IT! I call BBJ who has some amazing linens with the black & white scheme. It all went off perfectly!

Jayson and Sandra must have danced 95% of the whole reception time. They all had a blast!

Sandra & Jayson signed up for a bride & groom picture session. The pictures came out great thanks to ARA Photography! Very Nice Work!

Congratulations, and it was a pleasure working with you.
