Congratulations to Joya and Le’Mar, just married on Sunday on the beautiful Icon yacht in Newport Harbor.

You’re going to want to scroll through these amazing photos by Long Beach Photographer because the only thing more beautiful than the pictures, are the smiles and the joy on the bride and groom’s faces.

Everyone should be this happy on their wedding day!

This one was a lot of fun with lots of laughs and a great story. The guests were thrilled and excited and it was a beautiful day on the water.

Joya and Le’Mar, thank you for letting me be part of your wedding celebration.

I came across these amazing photos of Alexis and Kyle’s February wedding at the Jonathan Club in Los Angeles.

These pictures by California Wedding Photographer are beautiful and so was their story. There were laughs, tears, and their family and friends were excited and ready for every second!

As I’m updating my website I’m coming across more and more photos and I will try to share more.

Congratulations to Jasmine and Zackary, just married (Friday) at the gorgeous Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana.

These two have an amazing story, and I was blessed to help tell it with handfasting, beautiful custom vows, and jumping the broom. Their families and friends were excited to share this special day, and you could definitely feel the love.

This historic courtroom was a gorgeous backdrop for their ceremony. I didn’t even know this venue existed, but it’s up on the third floor and it looks awesome.

Shout out to an amazing couple, a heartwarming story, and an awesome room.

Most ceremony problems aren’t accidents.
They’re preventable.

There’s one question couples almost never ask their officiant.

And it would stop 90% of interruptions before they ever happen.

This is why experience matters.

Save this if you’re planning a ceremony.

02/07/2026

When someone interrupts or chimes in during a ceremony, calling them out almost always makes it worse.

I don’t shut people down.
I use a soft interrupt.

It acknowledges them without embarrassment and gently brings the focus back to the couple.

Most of the time, that’s all it takes.

Tomorrow I’ll share the one question couples don’t usually ask their officiant that could prevent this entirely.

Parents usually aren’t trying to cause problems during a ceremony.

They care deeply and think they’re protecting the day.

The key is giving them a role without handing over control.

This is part 3 of my Difficult Families & Difficult Guests series.

Next: what I do when someone actually interrupts the ceremony.

02/03/2026

Most family issues during wedding ceremonies aren’t about bad intentions.

Weddings bring up history, emotions, and uncertainty about where people fit.
That’s why things sometimes show up during the ceremony itself.

This is part 2 of my series on difficult families and difficult guests.

Next: what I do when parents want to take control of the ceremony.

02/02/2026

Most ceremony stress has nothing to do with vows.
It’s about people.

And managing people shouldn’t be your job on your wedding day.

Over the next few videos, I’ll show you how I make sure it never becomes your problem.

Vow writing pressure is real.

So for engagement season, I’m giving away my vow guide “How to Write Amazing Vows in Ten Minutes or Less” free until Valentine’s Day.

This is the guide I send couples before they write their vows.

DM me VOWS and I’ll send it to you.
