My first conversation with Alesa & Brian was filled with talks of passion, soul, life and love. I fell in love with them immediately. These two love till it hurts, and let their hearts lead them through life. Their connection is so honest and real. I'm a firm believer in soulmates because I found mine, and this is a true case of two people finding their soulmate in this life. To see that in a couple is like seeing a glimpse of God himself. It is truly beautiful.
Chris and I feel so honored to be a part of Alesa & Brian's wedding at a private residence in Malibu. The day was perfect. Sunny. Delightful. Moving. Passionate. Inspiring. It was obvious that everyone in attendance loved these two deeply. There were so many moments that just captivated me throughout their day. Alesa's tenderness with her grandmother. The moment Brian's mother saw Alesa and her son for the first time and started to cry. Hearing their vows to one another at the ceremony.
This wedding was like a beautiful cinematic experience. It was similar to the feeling you get after watching a brilliant movie that makes you want to go and do something great with your life. The day started with that silent anticipation, moved into excitement and ended with a joyous party. Celebration would sum up this wedding well. The band they had play was by far the best wedding band we have ever had at an event, West Coast Music Impulse Band. And one of my very favorite California coordinators, Camilla, always makes weddings ten times more fun.
Enjoy Brian & Alesa!
