Rosie + Patrick's Spanish Hills Wedding

One of the hardest part of this Wedding for me… choosing which photos to post on this BLOG!! Ok, I’m slightly teasing but Rosie was the most beautiful Bride with Patrick her LAFD Groom and deciding which photos to post was really hard (they were all so great!). Ha! I think the number one comment I get about her… she looks like Megan Markle!! I totally agree. This was one of the best parties with some of my favorite vendors too! Rosie said something during her speech that has remained with me. She said “I have waited 37 years for this, this was so special to me.” and it made me remember how incredible this job is. Genuinely making dreams come true! I love reminiscing every second of this special day.

Rosie and I carefully planned every aspect of this day. From their traditional Catholic aspects to their Ceremony to the Mariachi at Cocktail Hour, their Military Sword Grand Entrance and their beautifully choreographed first dance. Rosie surprised her Groom with a Sonora Dinamita tribute band and the Groom’s crew from the LAFD surprised the Bride with a CORED cake! If you haven’t seen this before… its terrifying for the Vendors, haha! But a tradition for all Firemen getting hitched!

Everything turned out literally perfect. I look over these photos with so much pride and nostalgia. I can truly say Rosie has become a friend and I’m so honored to have been her Wedding Planner!!

Nicole & Ryan say "I Do!"

Nicole and Ryan’s beautiful Sherwood Country Club Wedding was nothing short of a dream. With some of the very best vendors, their day was filled with custom special moments. Not only is Nicole one of the sweetest, but she’s also a very talented cookie decorator! We were able to see her special cookies at each table setting and her soft palette of Blush, Burgundy and Gold, accentuated the Ballroom’s aesthetic well.

Jolie and Will Ring In The New Year

From the first time Jolie and I spoke, we hit it off. I felt an immediate connection and wanted to truly make this an incredible Wedding for her and her fiance Will. Jolie shared that they chose New Years Eve as their Wedding date, because her Mom (and incredible former Wedding Planner herself) had been experiencing some health issues and she wanted to truly ring in the New Year with her closest friends and family. As we navigated through the planning process I learned Jolie was innovative and determined. She would come up with an idea and do everything she could to ensure she had the most cost effective and best option possible. Jolie and Will were engaged at an Alpaca farm in Carpinteria. So, through the planning process Jolie decided she wanted to invite a few Alpaca friends to her Wedding, to surprise her guests. And Oh were they a surprise! Not only were we able to hang out with two adult Alpacas and two babies but they even had outfit changes!! Starting out in their formal Wedding attire and switching to their New Years Eve get-ups! Jolie’s entire Wedding style came together beautifully, she intermixed their love for contemporary art with soft Boho style accents. Which meshed well with the Fess Parker Inn decor. A friend of theirs custom drew their invitations and their table numbers were an homage of some of their favorite contemporary artists. All in all, it was an incredible experience working with Jolie and Will on their dream day. Here are a few highlights-

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!
