Ilia + Evan: 8/7/2010 -I still can’t get all the heart-stopping, adrenaline-rushing, and down-right kick arse moments from Ilia and Evan‘s wedding out of my head. Along with all their guests, Ilia and Evan lit up the Seven Degrees venue this past Saturday with their unique, one-of-a-kind big day.

Everything was simply perfect; from the sweet first look and original ceremony entrance to the sleek/stylist/modern feel of the venue and non-stop dancing, I just loved every second of I + E’s wedding. What made it even more fun was working with close friends/wonderful vendors! Also, a special thank you to Melissa of Avia Hotel in Long Beach for referring me to Ilia and Evan. She was one of the bridesmaids on Saturday and it was so good to work with her again!

I just can’t get enough of Ilia and Evan’s personalities. They were so much fun to hang out with during their e-session and more so on the wedding day. One of my favorite moments from Saturday was seeing Ilia’s dad and bridesmaids get a bit emotional and the entire bridal party dancing their way to the ceremony. Ilia and Evan will always hold an extra special place in my heart, as they’re both graduates of the Claremont Colleges, Class of 2006, one year after me. Congrats guys and hope you two laugh, love, and dance as one for the rest of you life, just like you did at your wedding :).
