Carrie and Phil's wedding was one of those weddings where the stars just aligned. Carrie got ready at The Viceroy in Santa Monica and her and Phil tied the knot at a beautiful sunset ceremony on the beach outside of their reception location, The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu. It was a gorgeous day and couldn't have gone any better! Carrie and Phil planned their wedding long distance from Kansas City so Kelly Meyer of Kelly Michelle Weddings helped with organizing and planning all the beautiful details. She was so great to work with and was on hand all day to help keep things moving. Thanks for trusting me to document your love, Carrie and Phil, and thanks to Kelly and Ally for coming out and lending their photographic skills!

A bride after my own heart... bracelet from, you guessed it, Anthro!

Carrie and Phil opted for a first look which gave us plenty of time to really relax and have fun with their portraits.

A tip for brides- If you have the choice, pick a boutique hotel like The Viceroy for your getting ready location. A wall of plates? I couldn't DREAM this stuff up!
