About angelswanson

I am thrilled to share these dreamy photos with you from a wedding I planned & coordinated last September at the breathtaking Adamson House in Malibu. Rose and I connected in July and we planned the entire shindig in 7 weeks! The vision was for a casual yet elegant affair by the sea. The priorities: great food, a sense of ease and fun, and a killer view. Everything fell into place beautifully on the big day and it was a joy to see the culmination of our plans in such a short span of time. I have planned a number of complete weddings in under 2 months. It just goes to prove that where there’s a will, there really is a way. ;-)

Many thanks to Rose & Rod for inspiring me with their beautiful and tender relationship. I have a lot of lovey, affectionate couples, but Rose & Rod take the cake. ;-) Watching them interact made me grateful for what I have in my own life. It moved me. Their love was palpable and evident to everyone around them. I think each guest was deeply impacted by witnessing their powerful bond. I bet you (reader) can even feel a bit of that love just looking at these photos. seriously…how blessed am I to do this for a living??

All photos are courtesy of the talented duo Marlin & Marlene Munoz. they are a dream to work with: easy going, passionate about their work, and able to produce stunning images like these…

Perfect lighting at Surfriders Beach. rRse’s romantic bouquet of red roses & a collar of magnolia leaves was crafted by Weddingbee PRO Kristin of The Treasured Petal.

Rose walked up the aisle sans escort. But, she did make 5 “stops” along the aisle to collect 5 pieces of a bouquet from her best friends. This is why the bouquet looks a little disheveled here. ;-) Super-Kris made two bouquets for this purpose: one 5 piece bouquet for the symbolic walk up the aisle, and one for photos.

The couple wore those grins all day long. I melt looking at their faces here!

Married!

I love this glimpse of the underside of the magnolia leaves. Beautiful.

These two have this great vintage feel that I love.

Pure joy.

His & Hers accessories. ;-)

Hope you’re all having a great week!

xoxo, Angel

I love the symbolism in collecting the bouquet pieces from friends. Your friends contribute so much to your relationship with your significant other, coaching you through the bad times, and laughing with you during the giddy ones. It’s a really beautiful touch.
