Jenn and Sam's Spanish Hills Club Wedding

2020 didnt stop these two! Even though we had to ensure a bit of social distancing and move outdoors, Sam and Jenn’s Wedding was special. I gained a true new love for my Weddings (not being able to host weddings for a while), so when they happen in 2020, to me, that’s a HUGE deal!! We only had the first dance (no dancing was yet allowed in California) but that was ok with the Couple. Instead we focused on amazing food, service and time with loved ones. All of the participaing vendors stepped up to ensure every detail to their day was perfect. These photos have me!! Jessica Lynn is one of my new favorites and I know we will be working together lots in the future!

Monica & Jentsen's Wedding Day!

Elementary School Best Friends… Monica and Jentsen have been together since they were teenagers!! The best part about their Wedding was that the whole experience felt like family, being together that long meant their families had also been together for a long time.

Just like all of our 2020 Weddings, theirs was unique. Only three days prior we were told by their Church and the State that we would be able to take their Ceremony from 10 people to 100! So, we jumped on the opportunity.

With masks on, hand sanitizer and temperature checks at the door. These two were married at the most beautiful Church in Camarillo, CA. After we enjoyed a family Reception at their home. This was unique because we did “timed invitations” to ensure we never had too many guests at once. Going into it, I wasnt sure how it would work, but like everything this day, it was smooth and their family and friends were amazing about all of the unique procedures.

Not only were Monica and Jentsen amazing, so were their vendors. Everyone stepped up to ensure this day would be perfect for them both. Even with last minute changes. They also rented and Air B&B close to their home with a view, to allow for some amazing Wedding Photos!

Joana & Colin's Summer Wedding

Along with many other couples, Joana and Colin had to work through the lockdown/COVID situation. Postponing their Wedding once they made the decision to move their Wedding from a beautiful ranch and instead host an incredible day at a family friends home. Joana is truly the sweetest soul, so it felt so good to make them happy and get them married! I personally did everything I could to make sure this day was smooth and it was filled with ;pve and sentimental moments.

One unique touch was the seating cards which instead were hand sanitizer bottles with the guests name and table number! We also took everyone’s temperatures at the door, social distanced and wore masks! No matter how many of these we do, remaining safe for all involved was a top priority!

Meaghan & Scott's Santa Barbara Nuptials

If you know me, you know the Riviera Mansion in Santa Barbara is one of my favorite venues. My Brother was married here, so its special. When Meaghan and Scott reached out about their special day, I was so excited. Their dream was to have a Wedding that felt like an intimate party with 200 of their closest friends, and OH was it just that! The day prior Meaghan and Scott said their vows at the iconic Santa Barbara Courthouse with just their immediate familes and the next day was the PARTY! When I think back to this special day, I just remember how in love these two were/are the way they looked at each other, how gracious they were to each other and how happy they were. It was incredible and so well deserved. Here is a small glimpse into their special day!

Also a quick mention- Scott C. (the Groom) is an incredible artist who creates paintings, illustrations and comics with celebrity clients! Check out his creations here- https://www.scottc.com/

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.

Diana & Adam's Great Gatsby Wedding!

Diana (the beautiful bride) and I both went to the same High School and we were teammates on the HS Dance Team. So, when she came to me about her ideas of a Great Gatsby themed Wedding, I was so excited and honored. Not only is Diana genuinely an amazing person but Adam (her groom) truly completes her. They mesh so well together and of course this… makes it even more enjoyable to help them plan their day.

Diana did most of the decor design herself. As you can tell, her amazing eye for design made her theme truly stand out in a classy (non-cheesy way). I was so taken back at the room when it was complete, the design truly did her theme right and we really enjoyed making her ideas come to life.

Every guest got into it too, from beautiful flapper dresses to canes and flat caps. Guests came dressed up and ready to party!

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!
