Surprise! It's our Wedding Day!

When Nicole called me one morning, we had an instant bond. Tania the Director of the Private Club in Santa Monica sent Nicole my way. She and her fiance Brad were planning her Engagement Party which she wanted to shock her guests with the news that it was actually their Wedding. And shock them, did they! Working with some of the industries best vendors we created the most amazing day. Located at the private Beach Club in Santa Monica the venue offered beach front views, clean, white accents and the salty breeze.

About an hour into cocktail hour, a long time friend of theirs got up on stage in the middle of the room for a toast. He announced with pride, “Since we are all here already, how about we just marry them now.” To say the least, Nicole and Brad kept their secret from EVERYONE so this their guests erupted into genuine cheers and screams.

In her insanely beautiful Ralph Lauren Dress she said “I Do” to her best friend. And I genuinely cried. Its always an honor to be apart of someone’s Wedding, but I was so happy for the much deserving Nicole. With that, they danced their way into the night.

Modern meets Romantic at North Ranch CC

A few months ago our friends at North Ranch Country Club went into renovation mode. They planned to revamp their main inside space of their club for a fresh, clean look. We were especially excited for this because their space is a hidden gem and new this renovation would accelerate the space to be truly beautiful!

So, when Emma of Emma + Josh Photography reached out to collaborate on a Styled Shoot that would feature their renovation, we jumped on board. At Jamison Events, we don’t do Styled Shoots often, mainly because our availability is minimal, but this was one we were absolutely excited about. As we reached out to some of the areas top vendors, we found that Modern Romantic theme to be exactly the pace for 2019! Clean lined, geo shapes, pops of gold and white floral are the popular choices for this year.

We started out our shoot with the Ceremony spots. North Ranch Country Club has two directions you can chose to face. One features a black iron Gazebo that is beautiful to decorate and the second direction is towards the incredible mountains!

Something I learned the hard way… I really wanted infinity or ghost chairs by Imperial Rentals for the Ceremony space. We learned quick that they are actually really difficult to take photos of since they are…. ghostly. So, Mindy of Primrose and Petals acted quick and made a few extra pieces to accentuate the space and show the amazing chairs.

The Second Ceremony site was so fun to dream up. The DeLuxe Balloon company, Primrose and Petals and myself came up with a Modern Circle Arch featuring all white Balloons and a mix of florals and greenery. I loved how the greenery looked as though they were climbing up the arch!!

The “Lounge” area was my favorite because it featured some modern pieces by everyone involved. When I thought about this Styled Shoot I knew this was one spot I wanted to feature. I’m so proud with how these shots came out!

When we moved into the Ballroom to really feature the new renovation. This was where the design aspect got really fun! I just picture the coolest light meets dark styles in this space. I loved the blue lighting with Dark Grey Linens, it felt so warm yet classy!

Lastly we couldn’t not have some of the extra incredible shots by Emma + Josh Photography as they featured some of the amazing details of this day!
