Melissa + David: the photo booth

Hope you enjoyed all of the beautiful shots that Stephanie Williams captured of Melissa & David's wedding, because now we're moving on to the party pictures! These fun photo booth pictures were shot by Mike Cunningham of The Digital Orange. Below is the infamous backdrop that Melissa's dad built, but we think Mike describes it best:

"True story. Melissa had a fence around her house as a child. Fast forward a few years to the present day. That fence is now the raddest wooden photobooth backdrop ever built.

This thing would bring Bob Villa and Chuck Norris to their knees with one sweeping leg kick. The only thing that possibly could have made it cooler would have been a secret chamber that housed hundreds of angry Greek warriors eager to pounce on any USC Trojan that entered."


We told you it was a party! How many people can you fit in front of a photo booth backdrop?



They sure got creative with those hats!






Had to sneak in a team Amorology shot : )






Too cute for words! Thanks so much to Mike for bringing out the best in everyone and sharing these beauties with us!

A Summer Celebration: Melissa & David's Wedding

We absolutely love working with Stephanie & Isaac from Stephanie Williams Photography and will jump at any opportunity to do so. We equally love working with brides who are crafty and creative, so how lucky are we that we got to work with both at this sweet wedding?!

As we mentioned before, Melissa is one awesome bride. She is an interior designer and just opened her own store, Bixby & Ball! Needless to say, we had so much fun planning with her. Melissa was just breathtaking on her big day and here's the proof!


David and his groomsmen were quite a fun group as well! The matching green ties and vans really reflected the boys' personalities perfectly. We love how no detail was forgotten; check out their awesome green watches!

Gorgeous flowers complemented the summer soiree perfectly thanks to Adrianne Smith Floral Desgin. Adore the mix of the bright & cheery flowers paired with the moss and succulents.


Melissa let her bridesmaids choose their own dresses in various shades of yellow. We think each one of them did a great job and absolutely love the look of all the varied shades!


Love that Stephanie caught these adorable croquet shots!



Scrumptious cake from VG Bakery! It was definitely a focal point located against the handmade backdrop that Melissa's father constructed for the wedding.

Melissa's mom also got in on the crafting and created the escort and place cards that our team arranged in the moss and succulent lined boxes. With both of her parents being so involved in the wedding, we definitely see where Melissa gets her creativity from!

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was the perfect venue to host Melissa & David's summer wedding! The gold chairs and chargers shimmered under all of the playful string lighting. The aqua napkins and table runners added just the perfect amount of pop to the adorable yellow and white check linens.


The whole wedding was a joyous event, but it really got jumping when Flashdance DJ Michael Antonia, aka the Human Jukebox, started doing his thing. I've seen people dance at a wedding, but never like they did at Melissa & David's. Great job Michael!


Immense thanks to Stephanie Williams Photography for sharing these lovely photos with us! And a huge hug to Melissa & David for letting us be a part of their day! Congratulations you two!
