Few people epitomize Southern California as much as Ian & Diana. These two blonde-haired, blue-eyed, beach-loving surfers tied the knot at their church with a beautiful reception to follow at the Summit House in Fullerton. I’m determined to go back to this place for a fancy dinner one night with my husband. It was crazy delicious! The whole day was absolutely gorgeous and here’s the proof!
These are a couple of my favorite groom’s details to date.


I love it when couples send each other sweet little love notes on the morning of their wedding day.

It was such a gorgeous day. This park was amazing! Unfortunately, it’s now completely bald : (


I LOVE grey suits. I just love grey period (can you tell?)






Diana even has a badass car for cruising at the beach. It’s been a family tradition to have the car in weddings as it’s been passed down over time so it had to make an appearance and I LOVE it. What an amazing prop, huh?








On to the reception! It was so full of mind-blowing details, it was hard to narrow it down for the blog.


Ian & Diana’s head table was my favorite ever. It was really quite beautiful.


Ranunculus and some lovely light at dusk.


Yep, you guessed it, more details.


We got to steal the newlyweds away for some great shots at sunset. The light is perfect.
















Dance party! They knew how to get down!


Playing with some light for ring shots at the reception. Kind of different.


Some of the best dancing faces of the night. I love a good dancing crowd! This DJ was pretty great too! I definitely did a little moving to some Junior Senior at some point this evening. Love.
