This extensive property with its shaded groves of olive trees, sparkling fountains, romantic accommodations, and stunning canyon setting is absolutely one-of-a-kind. Today Hummingbird Nest is one of Simi Valley’s best kept secrets, and is a spectacular site for special events including weddings, private parties, movie/tv and photo shoots.

Danielle and her husband met at their first job, The Coffee Kiosk on Lyons Ave to be exact.  Nothing sparks true love like a 5:00 A.M shift on Saturday morning fighting over who has the clean the coffee machine.

Imagine this scenario: It’s the night before your wedding day, the biggest event of your life, the one you have planned an entire year for.  Instead of basking in joyful anticipation at your rehearsal dinner, your entire wedding party is anxiously glued to their phones.  The collective anxiety is palatable, each person is desperately scanning their news feed for information.  The unthinkable has happened.

Being amidst the lush forest of Waterfall Lodge is already a stunning experience, but providing Hair and Airbrushed Makeup for Emily’s wedding day made it all the more special. Her beauty was undeniable against the backdrop of this serene, life-giving space where she said “I do.”

There is just so much to unpack here.  I mean where do I start…the beautiful flowing dress, the grooms textured white tux jacket, or the quintessential urban Los Angeles wedding venue.  I guess I’ll start with what caught my eye first, Megan’s beautiful Sophia Tollie dress.  If you are unfamiliar with this Australian wedding dress designer, your welcome!  I highly recommend that you include her collections in your search for the perfect dress.  The designer, Sophia Apostolides, seems to capture the perfect amount of modern romance and timeless elegance.  I would get married again just to have the chance to wear this dress.
