Photographer: Janely A. Duran [janelyabigailphotography] J and I tied that knot in Camarillo, California on August 16, 2025. Before we were engaged [or even dated] we practically grew up together. We met as 5th graders, went on to have live own lives in college, then reconnected in our early twenties. We fell in love, worked on our careers, and grew individually. He got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife on our 6th anniversary. We quickly selected a wedding date that was only 9 months out. I was stressed for about a split second before everything fell into place. When I walked into Ever After Bridal, I didn’t have any expectations to pick a dress. The shop is gorgeous, the staff was lovely, and my girls were spoiled with prosecco and vibes. Suddenly, this Maggie Sottero gown was on my body and I was in love. EAB made everything so easy and made me feel like I had all the time in the world to think and choose. Even with a tight deadline, EAB had my dress exactly when they expected it and I had all the time I needed to prepare for my big day. […]

Photographer: Brooke Daniels (@tangelsphotography) My husband and I got married on August 23rd, 2025, in Santa Barbara, or home town. We both adore the ocean so we had our ceremony at our friends house on a cliff on the shore, over looking the ocean. Then we had the Santa Barbara Trolleys take us and all the guests to the reception at El Paseo Restaurant downtown Santa Barbara for dancing and food in an open air courtyard. The best night ever! And the dress received many many compliments 🙂

We’d spent months planning a celebration that felt intimate, sacred, and so much fun — and when the day came in early May, we were surrounded by our closest people and all of those hopes came true. It was such a beautiful day, made complete by all of the details that came together, from florals to accessories to a gown that made me feel regal and radiant. EA Bridal made the whole dress shopping and alterations process so easy, so genuine, and so comfortable!!! I couldn’t imagine a different dress and veil for myself, and all of it’s now a part of the memories I’ll cherish for a long time. Photographer: Sharon Ko (her Instagram is sharonko_photo)

We got married on Friday, May 3rd, 2024 at Spanish Hills Club! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our day. We were surrounded by everyone we love from all our life chapters the entire day… and we had an amazing dance floor! My husband and I have known each other since high school. We didn’t start dating until our late 20s but we had kept in touch over the years through a mutual friend. That mutual friend married us and it was absolutely perfect! The high school versions of us would’ve never believed this was what in store for us, but I am incredibly grateful this is how it all worked out 🙂 I don’t think I can pick one favorite moment so here are a few – Making my entrance on stairs (just like A Cinderella Story). Having our guests say a group vow so my husband and I had a minute to just look out at everyone and soak it all in. A guest accidentally ripping his pants during cocktail hour trying to make me laugh during photos. Throwing a ‘good luck’ bouquet so all my ladies were on the dance floor. A friend spontaneously performing the […]

Mitch and I got married at Calamigos Ranch. After being together for 7 years we were so excited for our big day! We know it sounds cheesy but it was the best day ever! I know the perfect dress means a lot to people but it was the most important detail to me as my now husband kept saying how excited he was to see me in my wedding dress, I knew it has to be perfect. I came to Ever After because I knew they carried Maggie Sottero but when I got to Ever After I realized the store and the people there were amazing and it was about more than just dress shopping! I found my perfect dress in the most stress free perfect store ever! Thank you to Taylor and her team for making it the best experience ever!

I stopped in to Ever After with my mom on Black Friday, not expecting to leave with “the dress”. Staff was so friendly and the overall vibe of the store was so special. As more of a “tom-boy” growing up, I had no idea what style I wanted- but when I found it- I just knew it was “the one”. The entire experience was extremely professional, enjoyable, and comfortable. I received so many compliments on my dress and my most memorable moment of the day was when a little toddler at our ceremony venue walked up to wave to me because she thought I was a princess. I told her, “you’re right, today I am.” Photo Credits: Lauren Maeve Wedding Date: September 23, 2023

It was so easy going from the get go! I lovvvved my dress from Start to finish, it was so perfect. Everything was romantic, and beautiful! And Ariel really captured our day, we just let her do her thing and let us know what her best option was. We fully trusted her, and all the photos came out beautifully!

As a wedding photographer of 13 years, a very small, personal elopement with amazing reputable vendors I call my friends, has been a dream of mine. And it finally came true. I’ve been surrounded by gorgeous big wedding at beautiful venues all over California but we wanted something different and private. Our quick ceremony was at Ventura County Courthouse, and we shared our vows and intimate photos in our new home in Camarillo, California. We shared our day with our new blended family (our kids). It was literally the happiest day of our lives.
