A Regal Affair: Bel Air Bay Club Styled Wedding

I had the pleasure of putting together a wonderful team of vendors for a South Asian inspired wedding shoot at the Bel Air Bay Club. Every time I visit the Bel Air Bay Club I'm impressed by its simple sophistication and the gorgeous beautiful ocean views. It really is a beautiful venue and the fabulous ladies Carrie, Lisa, and Christine are so wonderful to work with. We went with two seperate looks so make sure you look our for part 2 and 3 of the photos. Here are a few photos from the very talented Jen O'Sullivan of the adorable engaged couple Itesh and Nav.

Did I mention that I almost died when I saw this beautiful bridal gown from Renee Strauss. Her collection and style is to die for. Tara from Makeup Therapy did her magic and transformed Nav into a princess. Tara's works is always flawless she makes every bride look glamorous by enhancing their natural beauty.

The mouth drooling bridal jewelry is from Margaret Rowe's Jewelry collection.

A Regal Affair: Seher and Omar's Mehndi (Henna Party)

Seher and Omar's Mehndi(henna ceremony) jump started their fabulous wedding weekend. For the mehndi we really wanted to showcase all the beautiful and bold colors you traditionally see in a South Asian Wedding. We custom made this canopy for the newlyweds and filled it with colorful Moroccan furniture.

My favorite part of the Mehndi is the grand entrance, the bride/groom is brought forward by their closest family members. It really represents the union and the merging of the two families to me. The groom enters first and waits for his bride anxiously.

and of course this post would not be complete without a few photos of the beautiful couple
