Eva & Andrew were wed last week in a gorgeous private residence right on the sand in Laguna Beach.  It was the hottest day of the week, but that only made for a more beautiful beach day!

Dining service for the event was provided by the ever-scrumptious Jay’s Catering, hair and makeup by Lisa Liu, flowers by Dana Belinda, cake designed by Cinderella Cakes, wedding service officiated by Rev. Chip Fisher, and ceremony music by Karen the cellist from Breezy Strings.

Groovin’ on this image from yesterday’s wedding.

Christine and Jess are musicians with the Air Force band, so any official government function you ever see on television with a band or orchestra/quartet performing, look for them!  They live in D.C. but decided to get married on the sunny California coast during an deliciously warm Memorial Day weekend.

Christine’s hair was styled by Sayde Jammal from Toni & Guy, and her makeup was by one of my favorite artists, Jessica Edwards!

Christine and Jess opted to see each other before the ceremony at their ‘home base’ for the day: The Shorebreak Hotel.

LOVE all the color and light at this hotel!

Christine’s dress is a silk piece from JCrew and her shoes are Aldo “Bradeen”s in gray.

Cutest flower girl ever.

The couple were wed at Christine’s church from her childhood, Korean First Presbyterian Church in Westminster, CA

I don’t know what’s going on, but this kid’s face has mischief written all over it.

Christine and Jess had a brass band for ceremony accompaniment.  Image by Matt.

There was lots of bowing in accordance with Korean tradition

Directly following the ceremony there was a traditional Korean ceremony. (R) Image by Matt

I think Christine’s mother might be a teensy, tiny bit excited about this wedding?

LOVE this image by Matt!

Following the wedding there was an after-party at one of my favorite restaurants, Twenty-Five Degrees.

Party all night, ya’ll!

Sneak peek of Christine & Jess’s Memorial Day weekend wedding!  More to come.

There’s so much about Kevin and Jessica that just makes you go, “what?”  They’re unique, sarcastic, not afraid to be themselves, and of course…perfect for each other.

Venue: Tivoli Hacienda (Santa Ana, CA)
Flowers by This Old Garden Gallery
Entertainment by Luis Ayala at Your Special Night Entertainment

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, etc. you’ve already caught a glimpse of Jessica’s fantastic purple shoes

Their glasses crack me up. It’s like a “his” and “hers” version.

Kevin: “I’d like a groomsmen photo where we’re all stepping out.  You know, like the Troggs.”   Heh, the TROGGS?!?!  LOL. Musicians.

For the sake of daylight, we set up a “First Look” so they could have a special moment to see each other before their ceremony.

I LOVED Jessica’s hairstyle

Kevin insisted on a tux with tails! Trendsetter.

Gotta love that pout.

I love this image. It seems to capture their personalities as a couple so well.

Congrats, guys!

Coming soon!
