Love is everything: Southern California Bridal Inspiration

For this beautiful bridal editorial Southern California wedding photographer LUCY MUNOZ drew inspiration from all things that remind her of love; a caress, a sweet kiss, or a tender look. Because let’s face it, when you’re in love you feel on top of the world. When people say that love is everything, well that feeling can get you through the most difficult times. To know that you are loved and cared for, well, it means everything! Wedding invitation designer PLUME CALLIGRAPHY designed a simple modern stationery suite that contrasted perfectly with the more textural nature of the other elements.

Lucy tells us, “This magnificent dress from MADE BRIDE was something out of a dream. We loved the textured blush flowers and intricate hand work which made it feel like our model was wrapped in art. BEAUTY BE SPOKEN gave out model Holly a soft and dewy look that was effortless. We chose our venue at the SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO MISSION because we wanted old world architecture combined with gardens to soften the lines. The gorgeous florals by ROGUE & FOX complemented the dress and gave it that extra bit of colour and texture that we were looking for. The furniture was by SWEET SALVAGE RENTALS and it gave that old world feeling that we were hoping to continue throughout our shoot. The beautiful tableware was by CHERISHED RENTALS. In the end we left feeling so inspired and dare we say – loving every single moment of it!”
