Wrapping up our bridal portrait series with not one but two absolutely beautiful brides! In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’ve been posting the photos that show just how strong and gorgeous photos of women at their wedding can be. @capraphotography captured Amy & Rachel perfectly, incorporating the majesty of the redwoods where they married into the magic of their nuptials. And showcasing their amazing LOVE for each other! These two truly created a day for each oth...er, their family and their friends to celebrate the best they bring out in each other, the support they share each day. We’ve been so happy to share with you the women that are already making history, making a difference in the world. Amy and Rachel, along with all of the EELA brides we did and didn’t get to showcase, are doing just that. Celebrate the women in your life! The women who make days like this so special. #theonewiththeredwoods #theadventuresofamyandrachel #bridalportraits #brides #bridalbeauty #womenshistorymonth #phenomenalwoman #beauty #weddingphotography #weddingportrait #joy #bridalbeauty #weddingdress #redwoods #confidence #strength #radiance #bethechange #makinghistory #twobrides #lgbtqwedding #lovewins #weddingtips #mrsandmrs #bayareaweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingplanner #outdoorwedding #norcalwedding

Formal bridal portraits are beautiful, but WOW what about the candid ones?! Non-traditional bridal shots still convey the glamour and confidence of Connie! Make sure your photographer is capturing these elegant off-the-cuff moments, especially as you get ready. As we celebrate the end of Women’s History Month with women who are already changing the world, it’s also such a fun time to look back on these beautiful photos of such amazing women. Rocking as an on-air TV news jo...urnalist, Mama & wife, there’s nothing Connie can’t conquer! We hope you love looking at moments like these with your little Royal girl #bridalportraits #bride #bridalbeauty #womenshistorymonth #phenomenalwoman #beauty #weddingphotography #weddingportrait #joy #bridalbeauty #weddingdress #garter #confidence #strength #radiance #bethechange #makinghistory #terranearesort #eventtips #asianbride #weddingtips #onairtalent #royalwedding2017 #losangelesweddingphotographer #losangelesweddingplanner #countryclubwedding #palosverdes #motherhood #strongmama #candidphotography #weddingready

Luminous light & ethereal beauty! That was the look Lena wanted from her portraits, and found the perfect photographer for the fun, @jeremychouworkshops. Finding the qualities in a photographer that match your vision for the day is what will make for stunning shots you’ll treasure for years. They’ll not only be your photographer, but the director, curator, designer of your look! And this look is just so pretty, showing you don’t need to do traditional, straight-ahead pict...ures for bridal portraits. We’re continuing our celebration of Women’s History Month with the beauty and strength that comes with bridal portraits. We hope Lena and her daughter love looking back on this happy day as she and Travis await the arrival of her little boy this spring! #bridalportraits #bride #bridalbeauty #womenshistorymonth #phenomenalwoman #beauty #weddingphotography #weddingportrait #joy #bridalbeauty #weddingdress #bridalbouquet #confidence #strength #radiance #bethechange #makinghistory #sanclemente #eventtips #asianbride #weddingtips #orangecountyweddingphotographer #orangecountyweddingplanner #beachwedding #orangecounty #motherhood #strongmama

The future is female! Who loves having junior bridesmaids and flower girls as part of their wedding party? Bride Connie was a wonderful role model for these girls to look up to! Balancing her role as an on-air TV journalist, with planning her dream wedding, and now being a mama to her little girl Chloe! #wonderwoman #rolemodel #womensupportingwomen #bridetribe #juniorbridesmaid #flowergirl #girlgang #weddingdress #bridesmaiddress #flowergirldress #girlpower #whoruntheworldgirls #weddingmakeup #weddinghair #royalwedding2017 #weddingwednesday #waybackwednesday #countryclubwedding #pinkwedding #thefutureisfemale #dreamwedding #weddinggoals #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #weddingattire #palosverdes #losangeleswedding #weddingphotography

Who else hugged their loved ones a little tighter today? A year later, and Los Angeles still mourns a champ, a legend, a #girldad. But these beautiful murals, almost as much of LA culture as Kobe himself, help see us through. Like this from our favorite muralist @muckrock. Video in the comments is her doing her thing at a private Venice backyard for client Goldie’s 50th. Hug your loved, support local artists, and keep that #mambamentality, LA!

Wintertime and the start of a new year was always conference season for us! We miss bringing collaboration and creativity to groups in person, but look forward to your next conference or meeting, virtual or otherwise! Get in touch with us about how to bring the energy of an in-person event to your next all-staff, New Years brainstorm, or group conference. Our best tip? Vary the schedule just as much, or more than, you would in-person! Keynotes, but then breakouts and ...breaks, challenges with your hands, and partnered-activities. Even meals. Make sure your attendees are prepped with what you would provide if you were having it at a venue: natural light, earphones, and the schedule in advance! Online CAN be engaging! It just takes someone to plan #santamonica #conference #breakoutroom #convention #meetingplanner #onlinemeetings #onlineconference #allstaffmeeting #2021planning #eventproduction #corporateevent #specialevents #eventprofs #events #losangelesevent #eventplannerlife #eventconsultant #eventplanner #happyclients
