Sarah is a graphic designer and Dean is a photographer, what a perfect combination! Together they own a small branding + design company called Broad Daylight. Their wedding was full of handmade details, including paper flowers and lots of air plants that Sarah collected. Their ceremony was small and beautiful, with all of their vows consisting of “we do’s” rather than traditional “I do’s”- love that twist on the tradition! Congrats to Sarah + Dean and thanks so much to Amanda McKinnon for the photos.
My bouquet is an airplant that I found at a nursery while I was on vacation this past year. All off the other live plants were succulents and airplants that I had grown.
We found the location for our wedding while we we out for the night watching some live music. The venue was amazing and while looking around noticed that it was was available for event rental and we were sold. We wanted an evening low on formality and full of time to spend with friends and family, many of whom flew from all over the country. We have a common love of and history with photography, so we set up a photo booth in the reception area and hung our photography on the walls with the aim of creating an atmosphere of fun and conversation.

Great wedding! The air plants and succulent-only florals give it such a whimiscally elegant vibe!
Super gorgeous wedding by people who should know! I can’t imagine how hard it was to find a photographer with the groom being one! Looks like they picked a good one, though!
Love all the DIY details. Love the backdrop behind the Bride & Groom. Always love the Pasadena Court House, so pretty!!! Lovely wedding!!!!
Great wedding photography.
oooh! what an adorable bouquet! :)
The outside area is in Pasadena (the fountain water area) behind the Westin Hotel. The running part and archways the Cityhall of Pasadena.
I congratulate the couple and the design team because making this Eagle Rock venue as pretty as shown in their photos was surely a task. We almost got married there too but didnt have enough imagination how it could look like. Thanks for sharing and showing others and myself, that its possible to look amazing!!! xoxox Wishing the best to you guys!!!
