the romantic proposal
kerin | He proposed on August 4th at Laguna Beach. He had made a reservation and took me to the Montage.
denis | I talked to the restaurant and asked what I should do to propose. They said you can just say, “carrot cake”. Then, they’d give the excuse that it’ll take 15-20 minutes so it’ll give you time to walk down the beach.
kerin | During dinner, he told the waiter that he wanted a carrot cake. But I told him, “No, I don’t like carrot cake”. Later on, I learned about their special code word. When the waiter came, he said it would take 10 minutes. So he took me for a walk around the beach. We stopped where no one was there and he got down on one knee and proposed.
denis | …I just hoped she was going to say yes.
the wedding day
Denis turned her yes to I do.
Kerin and her ladies got ready at the classy venue where Denis proposed: The Montage at Laguna Beach.
Love love loved the shoes that Kerin wore. Clever lady, she had a classy pair of Enzo Angiolini heels for the ceremony and comfy stylish Michael Kors pair for the reception.
It’s always an amazing moment during the First Look, when the bride and groom meet each other alone before the ceremony. It is so intimate and emotional, a perfect way to see each other on your wedding day.
The great thing about the First Look is that you can get all the fun family and bridal party photos taken before the ceremony!
The flower girl’s outfit was so adorable!
And I would personally loved to have owned a dress like the ones the bridesmaids wore. Beautiful.
We always have so much fun with the bridal party!
Love getting the shots when everyone’s laughing.
Even though you’ve seen each other before the ceremony doesn’t mean it’s any less emotional during the actual ceremony. We prioritize getting these emotional reactions at every wedding.
And, oh, we’ve found the venue where we personally would definitely want to throw a party: modern and chic Seven Degrees in Laguna Beach.
Always important to appreciate all the little details that make the wedding gorgeous.
Always important to incorporate fun for the guests into the reception!
Love Kerin’s smile!
