I have known the Brutocao family for years as Juliana’s dad was a board member and part owner of a hotel that I used to work for.  So when Juliana called us, I was so honored to be a part of her wedding plans. Juliana and Aizaz were married at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano earlier in the day and then guests headed to the lawn at The Island Resort in Newport Beach, for a Muslim Blessing.  With Brooke on board, we designed a modern reception of not your typical ballroom tables and chairs. We filled the Palm courtyard with black lounge chairs, couches, ottomans, and peppered in several cocktail tables here and there.  A black dance floor centered the tented area and amazing lighting with custom damask pattern gobos shined through out…resulting in great color for photos.  Brutocao wines were poured all night alongside some fabulous food stations of sushi, pasta (representing the Italian family members) and Indian food.  Ryan did such an amazing job of capturing the day and Juliana’s beauty, boy is she photogenic!  I went through the entire CD of hundreds of images and I don’t think there is one bad photo.
