I had the pleasure of photographing Niko and Karl’s wedding at the St. Regis recently. They had a gorgeous wedding and I wanted to first thank all of the awesome vendors that made the event so beautiful: Ruth Wang (coordinator) Behind the Scenes, Kelly Odell (catering manager) St. Regis Monarch Beach, and Jen K (floral...
