Finally I get to blog Lan and Braeden’s gorgeous Palos Verdes/Redondo Beach wedding! I have been traveling in Europe and I decided to finish blogging while on my layover in London:)
Lan and Braeden have actually been married for a couple of years and have had a couple of wedding celebrations, but THIS one was the “official” wearing a white dress wedding that Lan has waited her whole life for! I was so excited to be a part of it and I think it was everything that she had imagined it would be:) Braeden is so chill and it was really touching to hear their vows to each other and to see how emotional they both got even after a couple years of being married and many years already together.
We had a lot of fun and started the day at the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach. Lan and her girls got ready in style in gorgeous colorful robes while the boys sipped their customized flasks before heading off to Wayfarers Chapel for the ceremony.
The weather was perfect! Barely a cloud in the sky and after their ceremony we made it over to Terranea to take photos at the cove….BARELY made it there, because the groom’s car broke down at the chapel, so the bride and groom had to hitch a ride in my little Toyota Rav 4 to their reception!!! LOL, hilarious! What was even more hilarious about that was that Lan and Braden had filmed a funny short video the month before the wedding as an intro to their reception…joking about how their car broke down and that was why they were late and the adventures they had to go through to get to the reception and then it ACTUALLY came true!!
They had their reception at the Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach which is such a cute venue overlooking all of the boats in the Marina. We took some gorgeous sunset photos there and continued dancing all night. I was slightly obsessed with their cupcake tower and took a whole box home! Thanks guys for that!
I hope you two had THE BEST honeymoon in Hawaii! I hope you enjoyed the helicopter tour in Kauai as much as I did. I can’t wait to hear all about it!
