Hello and welcome! I’m Angel and I’m so happy you’re here! Here’s a little bit about me…

I grew up in southern California and attended UC Berkeley for undergrad. In 2005, a few months after graduation, I married my college sweetheart, Erik. I then started law school on a full scholarship, but soon admitted I had no desire to be there. Seeking a more creative path, I began planning and designing weddings that autumn and have never looked back. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with incredible, creative, madly-in-love couples planning nuptials from Malibu to Napa, Santa Fe to Santa Barbara, Beverly Hills to Taipei and beyond!

I started this blog to share the work of my boutique event planning company, Love & Splendor. Over the years, I have enjoyed incorporating personal posts here and there and becoming further acquainted with my readers. I’ve always loved to connect with others through writing.

After many years of praying and waiting and hoping, Erik and I became parents in March 2012 when we welcomed our daughter, Olivia Iris (known as Olive) into the world. She turned everything upside down in the best possible way. I have savored the transition to motherhood and have loved writing about my journey here.

This blog has naturally developed into a more personal space, where I’ll be sharing everyday inspirations, musings on motherhood, sneak peeks of my wedding work and of course, glimpses of my daily life. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or are a longtime reader, I hope you find something that inspires you here today.

Thank you again for stopping by!

xoxo, Angel
