Inside the Mind of a Wedding Designer: Myriam + Ashraf {E-Session}

I first met Myriam and Ash last year through my good friend and new bride, Katerina. I remember my first phone conversation with Myriam. We clicked instantly. And when she told me where they booked their venue I knew I just had to be their planner! At my first meeting with Myriam and Ash, I was amazed. You can feel the love they had for each other radiating through their eyes. They are such a warm, loving and funny couple I knew right away that we were going to have such a blast planning their nuptials. When I asked how they met I was in for an even bigger shock! Only 3 months after meeting online, Ash proposed to Myriam on New Year's Eve 2008 in Santa Barbara. Did your mouth drop? Did your eyes just get bigger? I know! That's the same reaction I got! They are my first whirlwind couple. And my mouth dropped even more when I caught a glimpse of her HUGE engagement ring! OMG! It's so big and gorgeous it knocked me out. (Ash, you really did a fabulous job picking that ring out.) Honestly, this couple deserves nothing but THE BEST for their wedding. And I made sure they got it!

Their e-session was photographed by Tauran Woo. It was taken at Santa Monica pier because that was where they met face-to-face for the very first time. Myriam and Ash will wed at the luxurious five-star Hotel Casa del Mar in Santa Monica in 1.5 weeks. This wedding is something I've been looking forward to since the day I spoke to Myriam over the phone. They are such an amazing couple and I feel honored I got to share the ride with them. Their wedding will have platinum written all over it. So many yummy details...I wish I can tell you all how we plan to WOW their guests! You must stay tuned!!! Until then please enjoy the gorgeous e-session. Thanks again Tauran for sharing these photos with my readers! You did an amazing job and I can't wait until you share Myriam and Ash's wedding photos to my readers.
