Celeb Crush-Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana

I think Zoe Saldana is the secret little gem of Hollywood!  She always makes a major statement on the red carpet but flies under the radar in her every day.  I love her youthful and sexy style!  The once ballerina has the most gorgeous bone structure and looks amazing in really any style!  

Nina and Chris-San Gabriel Mission

I first met Nina and her mom at her trial run a week before the big day!  She was so full of love and excitement!  It was so infectious! They added so many fun details to their big day and I adored their use of bright summer pinks and purples!  Congrats to the gorgeous Nina and Chris!

This wedding is so filled with love and joy!  I hadn't met Sayoko prior to the big day yet had seen pictures of the two of them and man is this couple going to have some beautiful babies!!!  They are stunning!!!  Sayoko is a itty bitty little thing and just all fun and loveliness!  I adored her right off the bat!  I had such an awesome time getting to know her and creating her effortless and feminine look!  Congratulations to the stunning Sayoko and Josh!

Shaina and Andrew-Balboa Bay Club, Newport Beach

To say Shaina looked dreamy on her wedding day is a total understatement! She is just one of the most lovely, kind and classic brides of 2011! Shaina works and lives in New York so we worked out some of her timing around when she was going to be in California. We squeezed in her adorable "Up" themed engagement shoot in the earlier part of the year! She wanted to look soft and feminine on the big day and I think we nailed it! I knew from the start this wedding was going to be special....Shaina along with our original emails was a video of how Andrew proposed...I cried! They are so in love and so perfectly matched! Shaina loves hummingbirds and believes they are good luck! We saw hummingbird after hummingbird the day of her wedding and whenever I see them I think of her!! Huge congrats to incredibly lovely Shaina and Andrew!!!

Dan and Krista-Fullerton Arboretum

Krista is a stylists dream! She is absolutely stunning and has a total sense of herself! Krista is an interior designer and was just the easiest most lovely bride! I had the pleasure of working on Krista's hair for her big day! I loved everything about it! Oh I wish for curly hair!!!!!! She has the most amazing natural curl! The ultimate girl next door! She envisioned something loose and romantic. Krista wanted to keep her natural curl which I adore!!! I refined her curls and swept into a low side chignon! Heavenly!!!!
