REAL WEDDING: FOUR SEASONS BILTMORE III

I certainly built up this post enough ... going on and on about how gorgeous this wedding was. How the El Mar Ballroom at the Four Seasons Biltmore was totally transformed into a dark and sexy forest. How Nico Cervantes just let the creative forces guide him into something jaw-dropping incredible. And how awesome my couple were to work with. Well, no more hype, just proof. Here are the amazing pics from Hanssie Trainor. Enjoy!!!

Don't you LOVE the table numbers we did?!!! Perfection!

After a night of partying, guests took home a jar of lemon-honey preserves (made by the Bride herself) and a set of delectable Four Seasons scones. Yum!

SO much fun to work on this wedding with a fantastic couple and the most amazing vendors. Here's the talent behind this vision:

REAL WEDDING: FOUR SEASONS BILTMORE I

I LOVED this couple. I LOVED this wedding. Elise was a beautiful bride inside and out, generous and fun and excited. She had complete faith in her vendors and gave us all a lot of creative freedom to design a gorgeous wedding that fit who she and Eric are together. Today, I have amazing photos from the talented Hanssie Trainor to share with you from before the wedding ... But you will not want to miss my posts on Tuesday and Wednesday with Parts II and III -- a stunning ceremony and a ballroom totally transformed into a dark and sexy forest. So cool!!!

REAL WEDDING: MONTECITO COUNTRY CLUB III

The Main Ballroom at the Montecito Country Club was hot that night! We had the 18-piece Ojai Big Band which rocked the house. Ambient did an amazing job lighting and draping, giving the room a romantic and intimate atmosphere. And Attasalina captured the details beautifully.
