From their playful Malibu engagement session to their oceanfront “I do’s,” Abby and Tim have a love story that perfectly blends beauty, laughter, and grace. Their Bel Air Bay Club wedding in Pacific Palisades was filled with heartfelt moments, stunning views of the pacific, and the incredible energy of the community that surrounds them. Speaking of community, their AMAZING wedding party, family, and friends filled the day with warmth and celebration – a reminder of just how loved these two are.

Getting Ready at Bel Air Bay Club

As my team and I walked into the bridal suite, the energy was instantly contagious. Abby was surrounded by her closest friends, her mom and stepmom — even Tim’s mom popped in for a few sweet moments. All of her bridesmaids had flown in from out of state and were a joy to photograph. I’ve always loved capturing those quiet detail moments — the dress, rings, and heirloom pieces that hold so much meaning. The bridal suite was filled with laughter and music as Abby and her bridesmaids sang, danced, and added their final touches. Upstairs, Tim and his groomsmen kept things relaxed by sharing stories and toasts as they got ready for the day. Those hours were filled with the perfect mix of anticipation and joy – a prelude to everything that followed.

The First Look

With everyone ready and the excitement building, Abby and Tim shared a first look before the ceremony — a quiet, special moment just for the two of them before the celebration began. The light was soft and calm, spilling onto the iconic bridal suite terrace, as they saw each other for the first time. What followed were some of my favorite portraits of the day — tender, genuine, and full of smiles as they walked hand in hand. These portraits captured the calm before the celebration — the joy, the connection, and the anticipation that carried through the rest of the day.
