This weekend, Bettina & Dominic will be celebrating their 1^st year anniversary. They truly are one of the nicest people that I have been blessed to meet and work with. That’s why today I’m sharing their wedding photos on the blog to show you how much love went to their best day ever.

From the first time I met with them during my consultation, they never made me feel like a vendor. They made working with them like working with friends. We spent lots of weekends together scoping and meeting with different vendors that gave me an opportunity to really get to know them better. They chose the Westin South Coast Plaza as their reception venue to celebrate their marriage with their closest family and friends. I was excited to share the day with some of my favorite “friend-ors” like Lavenders Flowers who provided all of the gorgeous colors to their special day. The bridal bouquet Janelle from Lavenders Flowers created for Bettina still is one of my most favorite bouquets because of all the rich fall colors and textures Janelle infused in her bouquet. She also added a few mini succulents in her bouquet that the bride can later re-plant as a reminder from her big day. Of course, Kelly Mendoza from True Bliss Photography rounded out this amazing group of vendors. A special thanks to Kelly for all of their gorgeous photos that I will be sharing from Bettina & Dom's day.

To Bettina & Dom, may God continue to bless you and your family with love and pure happiness. Thank you for choosing Premier Soirees to be with you guys on this journey as you became Mr. & Mrs. We love and miss you both!! Happy 1^st anniversary!! As you celebrate your anniversary, wishing Bettina the happiest of all birthdays and may all of heart's desires come true.

One of the biggest blessings I love best about this business is the different people I get to meet and the relationships I end up forming with my couples. Bettina is definitely one of those people that I have been so blessed to have met. She is a true sweetheart with the kindest and purest heart and her fiance, Dominic is just as true and genuine as she is. I loved working with this couple since working with them never felt like work. I best described it as planning a wedding fit for my own sister. I met Bettina & Dominic at the Brea Bridal Show last April when they visited my table asking about a Style Unveiled feature that I was a part of. From then on, I felt their utmost confidence and trust in my work and for that - I'm truly grateful to both of them.

Beyond thrilled to share some of my faves from their engagement session with one of my favorites also - Kelly of True Bliss Photography. They chose to have their session around the Culver City area near Downtown LA since it's an area that has a lot of significance to them. I can't wait for your big day next week! I hope this doesn't mean we're "breaking up" after your wedding. :) Love you both!
