Chris & Laura // Romantic Oak Glen engagement

FROM THE BRIDE AND GROOM :

Christopher: “I planned an amazing proposal for Laura – a scavenger hunt! Shortly after leaving for “work,” I met Laura’s sister outside our apartment to hand over the first clue. I knew the day was guaranteed to go off without a hitch.”

Laura: “I was lounging in our apartment when I heard a key turn in the lock – was Christopher back from work so soon? Instead, my sister appeared to set me on a scavenger hunt! The clues were hidden in meaningful places around our apartment, each representing something important to our relationship. Once I found them all, they fit together to make a map (seriously, this guy is creative!) that directed me to my nail salon.”

Christopher: “I had an hour to kill before finalizing things at the nail salon, so I decided to get some work done at a nearby Coffee Bean. Bad call. When I returned to my car, a small glint caught my eye through the door window: my car keys, sitting in the cup holder.”

Laura: “Meanwhile, I was getting ready and having a great morning!”

Christopher: “Waiting for AAA to arrive was the most stressful part of the day. Until I had to watch the technician try and pry my door open… to no avail. The clock was ticking, but thankfully, he worked his magic just in time for me to get out of there before Laura arrived.“

Laura: “My sister and I were pampered with a lovely manicure when the owner told me to close my eyes and reach out my hands. I was expecting an extra massage, but instead I got another clue! This led me to USC, where Christopher and I met. Once there, I found him sitting where we shared our first kiss.”

Christopher: “We took a walk around campus, ultimately ending up at the spot where we first met. Handing Laura her final clue, I got down on one knee. The message read, Will you marry me?, and her answer was…”

Laura: “Of course!”

    Elegant wedding at the Ebell of Los Angeles // DAVID & LAUREN @ 2019 Sun & Sparrow // Dreamy LA wedding photography


    1. Describe your how you felt on your wedding morning, all the anticipation and the love. What were you most looking forward to in the beginning of your day.
    Lauren: Surreal. I was feeling so nervous and excited yet calm and collected. We were finally getting married after over a year of planning. It didn’t feel “real” until now. I was getting ready with my lovely bridesmaids and mom, and I couldn’t stop smiling because they looked so beautiful and also because David was in the next room over getting ready as well. I kept wondering to myself, “How is he feeling? I hope he didn’t forget this” “How does he look?” I’m the one usually in control and I had to let that go and put my trust that everything was going to be perfect.
    2. Did you have a ‘first look’ or a ‘walk down the aisle’ moment?

    How did you feel when you saw your significant other for the first time?Lauren: We definitely had a first look moment and it was truly amazing and emotional. When we locked eyes, tears just down my face and I had these butterflies I felt that wouldn’t go away. I hardly see him cry but when he saw me in my dress, he also cried. We had “our” moment alone and we definitely reassured each other how much we loved each other and how this day will be nothing short of wonderful.

    3. What was your favorite moment/story from your wedding day?

    My favorite moment from our wedding day was being surrounded by our amazing loved ones. There was so much happiness and love in the air.  To see our family and friends come celebrate us, we are so incredibly thankful for them being present.

    4. How did your day most feel like a fairytale?
    Everything was truly perfect. From the venue, florals, food, the little details, and our amazing vendors- our vision became a reality. Thank you Sun & Sparrow for capturing these precious moments so we can reminisce and show our children our wedding day.

      Modern & Vintage Diamond Rings // What we love most

       

      Recently, we had the opportunity to work with a wedding and diamond ring design company called Anjolee. Before our collaboration, I had seen their company on Instagram and loved to browse through their feed. Now that we have the chance to partner with them, we decided to dig a little deeper into what their company is all about. What we found was pretty cool!

      There are a few things that we really love about Anjolee.

      Their company is committed to custom craft every piece of jewelry that is ordered. Starting with a digital design, each ring goes through a 14 step process of building and quality control by a master designer. Every diamond ring, earring, necklace, and bracelet will have gone through a master crafter’s hands before being sent out to their customers. It’s pretty amazing to see how they create each piece of art. I love the intricacies that modern jewelry making offers.

      Anjolee are also Conflict Free as well as Eco-Friendly. This is a huge deal for us, here at Sun & Sparrow. When we are looking at jewelry for ourselves, we are constantly looking at vintage, antique, and conflict free items because we do care about the people that risk their lives to attain the stones and precious metals in other countries. Anjolee also takes their time after crafting their beautiful pieces to collect any metal remains to reuse for future jewelry.

      Lastly, the designs are beautiful. They have classic designs, modern designs, and antique inspired designs for their diamond rings. There are so many options! Whatever style you are considering, we recommend Anjolee.
