The Couple: Jen and Anh
I love connecting with all of my clients. Jen and Anh were no exception. It was wonderful to provide them with the Sun & Sparrow experience. Jen has very luxurious taste and she loves things stylized in a detail-oriented and elegant way. I had a lot of fun making all of her perfect details work together, and I am so excited about how the pictures turned out from this day.
Anh truly goes out of his way to do everything for Jen. He really is her knight in shining armor and you could see it throughout the day. Ahn was always doing beautiful things for Jen. The night before their timeless wedding at Villa Del Sol d’Oro Anh made sure that he was the one to get up to help their baby so that Jen could have her perfect wedding day. Every bride deserves a groom as thoughtful and kind as Anh.
Anh and Jen have a baby together and I found their interactions with their baby to be incredibly sweet. They both have kids from before they got together, and it was special to see them coming together to create their blended family. I could tell that they fully embraced one another.
One of my favorite events from their wedding was watching a highlight video that Anh made for Jen, full of fun and romantic events from their time together before their wedding. I loved watching Jen’s reaction to the video, but Anh had the most fun of all, watching his new bride show him her love.
The Venue: Wedding at Villa Del Sol D’Oro
Villa D’el Sol De Oro is one of the most beautiful venues I have worked at. It is a classic historical-style Italian building with telework, pillars, and arches that scream luxury. This venue is used in movies and TV because of its beautiful architecture and wonderful landscaping. It features ponds and fountains that bring life to the property, as well as beautiful trees.
The Wedding Day
On Jen and Anh’s wedding day, I met them at the venue. There is a gorgeous bridal suite where Jen got ready, while Anh got ready in the library. The bridal suite was full of love and joy as all of her bridesmaids and her daughter doted on her. She mentioned that it was especially sweet to see her daughter look up at her and get to see her as a bride.
The library where Anh got ready features masculine lines with books and wood. There are tall ceilings that make it feel fast and open, along with vintage furniture and a bar where the guys could have a scotch and hang out before the day got going.
Their first look was in a courtyard and when Jen walked up to Anh, he turned around and had the best, most surprised look on his face. It was so sweet to see the bridesmaids and Jen’s daughter look out the window to see their romance blossom. From there the day came alive. We took couples portraits, along with bridal party portraits, and then it was time for the ceremony.
The ceremony was just above a pond, flanked by cypress trees. The scene was immaculate and I was stunned by its beauty. As the wedding party walked out of the ceremony, I got another picture of the couple kissing and Anh dipped Jen skillfully. Then they walked back up the stairs in celebration of their new marriage.
