Hi darlings, this is Dani from Dear Lovers! To celebrate the fresh new year, I decided to host a styled bridal shoot inspired by romantic, European beauty. I envisioned a film shoot that was organic and whimsical, soft and romantic, and truly dreamy and timeless. Naturally, I’m in love with blush tones, wind, soft tulle, and spring florals, […]
We’re kicking off the new year with a total stunner! Planned by CES Weddings and Events, Annie and Patrick’s gorgeous Canyon Oaks Country Club Wedding is white-tented-rustic-elegance at its finest. Details included plentiful florals in a subdued palette by Cambray Rose Florist, vintage-inspired rentals from WeDo Designs, a beautiful naked cake by Upper Crust Bakery and a bride that fit […]
Film photography is expensive, it takes a lot to learn how to shoot it well, and you are constantly loading new rolls as you shoot. Then why do we use it at all? Because you deserve the best, and that is exactly what we aim to give you. And the best is film. It’s a medium […]
Jackie and Dave’s love story is what fairytales are made of, from the rustic mossy willow arch they wed under to the intricate mushroom details on their wedding cake.

Derek and Charlene’s Moniker Warehouse Wedding was all of our favorite things. They are huge lovers of the outdoors – you may remember their Big Bear Engagement shoot we blogged earlier this year. From the greenery draped from the ceilings and the sweeeetest smelling rosemary wall for their seating chart, everything was natural and earthy, bringing the outdoors […]
Aaron and Vanessa are two of our dearest and sweetest friends. We couldn’t contain our excitement when they asked if we could shoot their engagement out in the desert, which is something we’ve been dying to do since this shoot last year! We drove out there on one of the hottest days of the year and […]
We ventured out with Cristie and Grant to capture their engagement shoot at Torrey Pines. It was a perfectly beautiful San Diego afternoon, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the soft golden light we found at the top of the cliffs!
This Film Styled Shoot just fell into place beautifully while we were roaming the beautiful New Zealand. We wanted to create something organic and natural, inspired by the earthy, rugged beauty of this country. Definitely one of the best elements to this shoot was getting to collaborate with several absolutely incredible wedding vendors, we are so grateful […]

There is something delicately beautiful about two souls running off to just commit their lives and love to one another. To focus soley on the other. Without distraction or cost. A day of […]
