I'll never forget finding their Manhattan Beach home. It was raining and I as I approached their front door, Brian opened it before I had the chance to ring the bell. And I was immediately taken by his height. Standing at 6'10”, he shyly smiled and invited me upstairs, and he took them three at a time…and I huffed behind him one step after each other. We spoke for a few minutes and I realized he was one of the softest spoken and kindest guys you could meet. Then Victoria came out from getting ready. And, yes, she came ready. She apologized for being tardy…she couldn't choose which pair of Louboutin's to wear to the meeting. Loved her immediately.

We spoke about how they met and Brian jumped in a few times to correct Victoria's animated story, and each time he did, his eyes danced as she spoke. He was smitten, and her love was reciprocated through devotion and attentiveness. And, well, they just worked. Beautifully. I was fortunate to book their 4th of July wedding at Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verde, and more fortunate to see their wedding day grace the pages of Bride and Bloom Magazine. I'm honored and couldn't be more thrilled for Brian and Victoria…they just ushered in a new baby boy last month, so here's to living a new and beautiful life!

I'd be remiss of I didn't thank the follow vendors for making the day a complete dream…
Kathy and Susan of Bella Weddings for sending Brian and Victoria my way and orchestrating a flawless day…thank you. To Carissa of JL Designs and Events for her floral designs and overall aesthetic…loved it. To Leila of Be Inspired (Bella Wedding's publicist) for working on this wedding. And to Kimberlee West for being a wonderful third shooter!
