Leo Carrillo Ranch wedding for the sweetest couple!

Hailey Bieber inspired wedding day look...
Our bride Corie went with the most stunning modern bridal look. We slicked back her hair in a tight, yet classic bun. Very much a nod to the Hailey Bieber wedding day look, and I think Corie just pulled it off beautifully! This adorable Manhattan Beach couple chose SmogShoppe in Culver City for their venue and it was executed perfectly by our fave ladies at PS Plans.

Epic Zabriskie Point wedding ceremony inside of Death Valley National Park
We definitely do a LOT of California destination weddings, but one area that I had never worked in or got to explore was Death Valley National Park. When our bride, Yana, emailed us about her destination elopement at Death Valley, I was immediately on board for the adventure!!! The couple chose to have their ceremony inside the park at Zabriskie Point, a badlands viewpoint where you can see for miles. Absolutely epic and breathtaking.
