Congratulations Rachel and Dennis!

Rachel and Dennis had jaws on the floor when they invited their guests to the fantastic Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills for their May wedding. The brand new venue is absolutely gorgeous and the settings for the ceremony and reception were truly picture-perfect. Rachel made sure that every single detail was flawless, and it most definitely was. The color scheme was gorgeous and we loved the "his" and "her" flasks that the couple gifted their wedding parties. We also got a kick out of Rachel's idea to get her whole wedding party together for what ended up being a parade down Rodeo Drive. The photos are priceless!

Rachel and Dennis used their special day as a reunion for many of their guests. Rachel and Dennis had travelled extensively throughout their many years of college and made a large number of friends along the way. So this wedding was a wonderful opportunity for the friends to get back together and take large group shots as the "Columbia University" group, the "MIT" group, the "Ohio State" group, and so on. This was also a special opportunity for Rachel and Dennis' families to fly in from China and Korea to celebrate their union together. To honor their families Rachel wore both a Chinese and Korean dress, with Dennis changing into a Korean groom's outfit to join her later in the evening.

These gorgeous photos were taken by David Michael Photography and we were blown away both by how beautiful they look and how quickly David Michael provided them to the couple (and to us.) It's beyond impressive and what a blast they were to work with.

It was such a pleasure to bring this wedding to life with Rachel and I will miss our delicious planning lunches at Jack n' Jills in Beverly Hills. All the best to Rachel and Dennis in their new lives together as husband and wife!
