There are so many things we love about Molly and Mike’s wedding: The fact that they have a beautiful daughter Laila who looks like an actual angel, and who’s a perfect combination of them; the fact that Molly’s mom is a famous singer for Hollywood movies and brought all her talented friends to the reception; and the moment right after the cake cutting, when someone asked Molly if she wanted to keep the top layer, and she replied “Why? Is that a thing?”

Molly and Mike got married for all the right reasons, and their wedding day at the Santa Barbara Zoo was a celebration of real life, and real love. We loved seeing their intense connection during the ceremony, and the way their sense of humor played off each other so well. And it was a great bonus at the reception to get to witness all of Molly’s mom’s friends jump up on stage for spontaneous performances all night long. At one point we walked to the edge of the lawn to do some overall shots, and just marveled at what a perfect evening Molly and Mike were given, under the stars of a clear Santa Barbara sky.

On a side note, Molly’s hair and makeup transformation was filmed for the TLC show Wedding Day Makeover, so look out for their episode sometime next year.

Once again the dynamic duo just dominates, manipulates, and spanks the light into submission. All with getting some great moments!

Las Vegas tends to be a city that people either love or want to shake their finger at. But we’ve found that a lot of our couples don’t just love Vegas, they fall in love there. Alyssa and Anthony began their relationship with a Vegas connection, and took their first trip together as a couple to that famous strip in the middle of the desert.

Alyssa and Anthony had our hearts from the moment they first contacted us because of their enthusiasm for having a nontraditional wedding that was more of a “big party.” As Alyssa told us, “…and as far as partying goes, no place does it like Vegas!”

The ceremony was held by the pool at the Palms, with the reception in the Palms’ Hardwood Suite. It was our first time shooting in one of the hotel’s famous Fantasy Suites. The entire weekend was filled with emotion, celebration, and of course a big dose of Las Vegas glamour.

A week after their wedding, we received an email from Alyssa and Anthony, with a photo attached from their honeymoon in Hawaii. It blew our minds that they would think of us for even a second on their honeymoon. It’s people like Alyssa and Anthony who make us feel like we have the best jobs we could ever imagine.
