According to their talented photographer Andy Maldonado, Lisa & Jeff were looking for a wedding venue with an outdoor ceremony under beautiful trees. They found the best option for their destination wedding at Club Lake, a gorgeous wedding venue near Orlando, FL with beautiful hanging oak trees that filter rays of sunshine over the ceremony area. It also has a stunning barn reception that can accommodate over 100 guests. This is a great venue for light and airy wedding photos because it has a lot of locations with lush greens and rustic elements that are perfect for those beautiful and soft film tones.
Lisa & Jeff, along with most of their friends and family, traveled from California to celebrate their wedding at Club Lake. The day started with the bride and bridesmaids getting ready at the presidential suite at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Downtown Orlando.
The ceremony site at Club Lake looked like a dream with stunning flower arrangements. All the flowers and Lisa’s wedding bouquet were created by the talented people at Le Fleur Atelier. They had a unity sand ceremony where the mixing of two different colors symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter.
Thank you very much for sharing these gorgeous pictures, Andy!

In the midst of these dark times, thanks to some truly wonderful people I had met in the past, I am reminded that there is goodness around us and the future can be and is bright.
I met Krystyna and her wonderful mom almost two years ago and they were as lovely as they come. Her mother had this wonderful hat she wore for her wedding that she purchased from the Bergdorf’s that Krystyna wanted to incorporate into her own wedding dress from us, HB6285. So I took the beads and the lace from the hat and made it into beaded sash and hair combs for her and her bridesmaids.
Krystyna thought that the pictures from her wedding might be a bright memory from the past for me during these trying times and she couldn’t be more right. They give me hope that the love is all around us and with new beginnings, commitments and understanding for each other, we are all better off.
Thank you Krystyna for warming my heart, and thank you Francesco Spighi for taking these lovely pictures.

The lovely couple just got married in Bora Bora in our HB6722 dress. It rained on her wedding day which made up for this beautiful shot of islanders walking the couple down the aisle with the umbrellas. Thank you Keitha for allowing us to be part of your beautiful wedding. I just love the bright colors of the island and all the tropical floral arrangements, straight out of a storybook or Gaugin's paintings! These stunning shots were taken by Damien Gobron.
Congratulations~

Seeing how her wedding came together despite the flooding canceling out her initial wedding location right before her wedding was such a wonderful surprise. Mary and Todd pulled their magical wedding thanks to incredible talents they hired for their special day.
To say their photographer Evangeline Lane blew my breath away with her talent is saying it mildly. Her work was truly enchanting. The venue, wedding planner, the florals... just everything was perfect.
Mary and Todd are now proud parents of a beautiful boy and I think it's extra special since he with them on their wedding day. Congratulations to these two beautiful souls.

Quoting Michelle:' I wanted to give brides a sense of all that a golden hour bridal portrait session could be prior to the wedding day in a hybrid film and digital session.The neutral palette is an expression of what a bridal portrait session can be in any season of the year. An ethereal style gown made from pure silk creates a feel and look as comfortable, light and airy as you’d imagine. The cape is so delicately transparent! Just the right amount of lace accents the bodice and waistline, creating a romantic and vintage atmosphere perfect for a classic portrait session just before sundown. '
Well, thank you Michelle for giving our ON6170 wedding dress a vision with your lens, the result is simply stunning...

Sam went on to help me for many years polishing Saja Wedding to be better and she had my complete trust. Clients loved her and she calmed me down when I was in the bind more than once with challenging appointments. When she left Saja to pursue her other interests, I was heart broken but happy for her. She still managed to come back part time to help me out until I left New York. Meeting Sam and Kyra as my last work colleagues in New York is something I will always be grateful for.
When I finished 2019 collection after many years of absence, Sam reached out to me to photograph the whole collection and I was honored. Her beauty and warmth transcends everything she does and the pictures she took gave life to the dresses.
Thank you Sam, I cannot wait to see you when you come for visit this Spring!

Julie knew exactly what she wanted and reached out to us to get her RM6325 wedding dress and her beautiful fall foliage colored bouquet decorated deep teal color silk ribbon couldn't have complimented her better. More than anything, she chose perfect boots for her wedding shoes that was not only stylish but comfortable and she will definitely wear the pair again.
Most importantly, she chose the right photographer who had vision and talent to match the couple's style. Through Jessie Casey's lens, we get to experience the joy of Julie getting ready for her wedding and she climbed up the latter to the roof to meet her groom for the first time for the amazing photo shoot before the wedding, literally on top of the world.
I love their wedding so much that I am going to treasure them and share them in series. Congratulations to Julie and Greg...

And I finally wanted to design a collection. It was fall and I wanted it to be ghostly beautiful. Ethereal yet grand, whimsical but statuesque. What came out of it was 5 piece collection that was produced locally here in Los Angeles.
]]>But what impressed me the most is how amazing Larisa, the woman behind Bewilder Floral is. She started Mandala Project where she donates all the left over flowers to hospice and grieving family and friends because its her philosophy that flowers have power to heal. Her simple gesture to spread love and empathy has impressed me so much and needless to say, it was an honor to participate in this shoot.
You can see from her stunning floral arrangements that they are thoughtful, tasteful and warm. Thank you Justine for capturing everything so perfectly.

The couple's effortlessly tasteful sensibility comes through beautifully on these stunning pictures taken by Kristina Klinger who happens to be a friend of the couple. Just adore Julia's floral wreath and pink denim jacket paired with our wedding dress!
Congratulations to these two gorgeous couple!
