Malibu West Beach Club Wedding : Melissa + Alex

June 18, 2016

Filed in: Weddings

The lure of the beach intrigued Melissa and Alex. The rolling waves, the sand between their toes, and endless sunshine. Once they stumbled upon the Malibu West Beach Club, they knew their wedding venue dreams had come true! The intimate space sat right on top of the beach and overlooked the ocean. It was perfect.

Together they invited their friends and family to cheer, and support their storybook love in one of the most beautiful places in the country. The light bathed the guests in its beautiful glow as they exchanged their vows, then sealed them with a kiss!

Melissa and Alex, thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you. Your wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and success! Much love and appreciation…Michaela

Melissa’s bridesmaids gowns were one of our favorite wedding colors…peach. The color truly looks good on every skin tone…

Melissa was having fun getting all dolled up for her wedding day…

Last minute wedding preparations…

They told her, her dad was going to be coming in to see her…hence the surprised look on her face…

…but it ended up being the most tear jerking moment as they hugged…
