Brandi and Michael are a true love story, guy has crush on hot hostess and wins her over with laughter. It could be a lifetime movie in the making. Because they had a little *extra* time to plan their wedding (thanks COVID) Brandi was able to use her design background and create a curated wedding aesthetic. West Hills already has a romantic vibe, which gave Brandi a delicious back drop. She nailed it. Brandi and Michael are a joy to be around, just by looking at how happy people were for them was the proof in the pudding. But the ultimate proof was Brandi and Michael, giddy and in love laughing it up and truly treasuring the day.
Ill let you in on a secret, Brandi and Michael were already married. COVID created a lot of small backyard elopements and Brandi and Michael were no exception. A lot of couples chose to forgo the big party I am THRILLED that they still got their big celebration. West Hills Country Club provided a stellar venue as usual, and the sun simply put on a SHOW for these newlyweds. Brandi rocked not one but TWO incredible gowns, which is my new favorite thing. Everyone danced the night away in West Hills’ open tent and ended the night with a dessert bar to die for. This party was well worth the wait, congratulations to Brandi and Michael!
Time for the daddy daughter first look, this one was a tear jerker.
Now onto the first look with Michael. His reaction will forever and always be one of my tops!
Scheduling time in for sunset photos might seem silly, didnt we just take pictures for like an hour? BUT I hope that these next few images convince you that it is well worth the time. For reference, we had about 15 minutes for these images.
I love weddings, I guess thats the most obvious statement. Every wedding is unique and Brandi and Michaels was no exception, I am just so honored that they gave me the opportunity to be such a big part of it.
