Sabine & Jeff went all out to make their intimate wedding for 30 guests feel like extravagance and decadence at it’s finest. A lovely ceremony at their local church was followed by an 8 course tasting menu by chef Christophe Eme at their favorite restaurant Ortolan, in West Hollywood. Florals were lush and overflowing with creamy white garden roses and dutch hydrangea. Everywhere you looked, romance was in the air, from the crystal chandeliers, to the candelabras with tall candle lit tapers, to individual butterflies adorning each champagne flute. Taryn Leach coordinated every last detail flawlessly, and Jennifer Roper Photography captured the love and warmth of the evening with these gorgeous shots (Thanks Jennifer for sharing these with us!). Thank you Sabine & Jeff for allowing us to share in this magical evening….bon soir!

Reminiscing to last winter, we wanted to share some photos of an amazing Buddhist wedding we did. The ceremony took place around a fountain, under a Raj tented roof.
