A Designer's Wedding at the Marvimon in Los Angeles

August 7, 2012 kristine

I'm obligated by school affiliation to harbor feelings of dislike for this couple, but it's not possible to do so when they're highly organized, have an eye for design and detail, and choose Marvimon as their venue!

Yishan & Mike are part of the Trojan family, and through multiple degrees of separation as friends of Christine's on one side, as well as friends of Janet's husband on the other, we were "recruited" to be a part of their team for their wedding day. And we're glad of it! The energy level among their guests and the happiness evident in Yishan & Mike made their wedding so memorable. We love you guys!

Yishan & Mike partnered with friends from Viva La Art, a non-profit that works with artists to raise funds for various groups by hosting live art events and auctions, to raise awareness about the organization. They made buttons for the work of a few of their favorite Viva! artists that their guests could collect. We collected the whole set ourselves!

A Quaint Wedding at the Occidental College in Los Angeles

July 30, 2012 kristine

Rick married a girl named Jennifer. Pretty simple ~ but it gets a little confusing when you try to get all their nicknames right.

Rick's full name is Broderick, but growing up he used to deny that was his real name, so no one ever called him that. Eventually the older cousins all started to call him Ricky, but I was never allowed to since I was one of the "little" cousins. But then at the wedding, the Maid of Honor dubbed him, Brody, and all of us thought, "Why didn't we think of that?!"

When I met Jennifer, she became known as Jen/Jenn in our family. But to her high school friends and other close friends she was known as Jerry. Then another cousin started dating a Jennifer and everything just got really jumbled trying to figure out which Jen/Jenn/Jenny/Jennifer we were all talking about.

So I'm still trying to figure out what names to best call them by... but for now you all can get to know them as Jerry & Brody!

The wedding was a family affair! Jen and her father worked together on cutting each of the wood chips for the escort cards, Rick's sister, Kim, made and designed the cake, and yours truly, the "little" cousin, helped plan and coordinate it all!

They also paid their respects to both families through the Korean Traditional Paebaek Wedding Ceremony.

The caricaturist was such a hit! We wanted one ourselves, but as you can see, we weren't sitting in the right order...

Nature Inspired Wedding at Nature Friends in Sierra Madre

July 23, 2012 kristine

We have been dying to share these next wedding photos with you! Today actually marks Michelle & Jeff's 1-Year Anniversary, and as we walk down memory lane and remember this beautiful couple, we're reminded of how much we loved helping them bring their wedding vision to life.

Michelle & Jeff contacted us while they were making a short visit from Korea to plan their wedding. Michelle's younger sister, Jen, was actually a friend of ours from college, and when we met, it was as if we were with old friends. Plus, Michelle looked just like Jen (or vice versa), so it was easy to chat with her! Since their stay was short, they decided to enlist our help to plan and design their wedding, while they finished up teaching the school year in Korea. Throughout those few months, Michelle & Jeff were amazing to work with and we were so honored that they gave us full control and trusted us completely!

We hope that your first year of marriage has been a beautiful time of growth, and that you've come to love each other more and more each day! Thank you for entrusting us to make your wedding day beautiful! love, erica . janet . christine
