I can't help but feel at peace looking through this photoshoot at the breathtakingly beautiful Stone Mountain Estates in the Malibu mountains. To be honest, it's exactly what I needed this week. The world is far from peaceful, but there's something about golden light, rolling hills, and clear skies with views for miles that gives me hope, and reminds me that these moments, and the epic beauty of nature, are what it's all about... and oh, is it magical. 
My Sun and Stars Photography truly captures what it means to be present. These two are in their own little world, taking it all in on a mountain top, oblivious to the outside world moving hurriedly from task to task, caught up in the busyness of it all. How often do we stop to recognize our own in and out breath? Well, let this be your reminder to slow down and breathe! 
The sun beautifully radiates through our beloved Soleil gown, and glowing natural makeup from Page Beauty completes the look. Made with sparkling floral French embroidery, draped chiffon and delicate appliques, there's no questioning why this gown is a favorite among my brides. Soleil's flutter sleeves and low back add a little drama, while the sheer skirt keeps the silhouette fresh and flirtatious. Shades of gold and champagne shimmer and glow, changing with the light - another gorgeous feature of Soleil! 
The florals and event design by Haroun Events are a Tuscan fairytale dream come true. The soft tones of the flowers paired with stone colored linens by La Tavola Linen keep the mood calming and effortless while ivory accents by Catalog Atelier imbue a timeless quality to the scene. I can't get over the lush mountains, cypress trees and that epic light... oh, how I love you California! 
Each day the sun sets, is another chance for a new beginning...a new way of understanding one another...another day to celebrate all that is GOOD. Because there is a lot of good out there, and moments like this are proof. The sunshine, the gown, nature doing it's thing...this couple is illuminated by the light, and I think we can all use a little more of this kind of magic.
