Lupe and Johnny got married at Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills. The golf course sits in the canyons of Granada Hills, with tall pines, eucalyptus and palm trees across the grounds.
Their day was all about purple and gold, from the ceremony arch to the cake. Here are some of our favorite moments.
A First Look by the Hedge
Lupe and Johnny started with a first look in front of a tall green hedge. Johnny waited with his back turned. When he finally saw Lupe, the two of them couldn't stop smiling. The purple sash on her dress was the first hint of the day's colors.
A Purple Ceremony Arch
The ceremony took place on the lawn by the clubhouse. The arch was draped in purple and lavender fabric, with flowers in purple, white and pink. The bridesmaids wore plum, and the groomsmen wore black. Lupe and Johnny said their vows under the purple drapes.
Golden Hour and Palm Trees
After the ceremony, we explored the golf course for portraits. The late afternoon light was soft and warm on the hillside under the trees. As the sun went down, we finished with portraits of the two of them under the palm trees at dusk.
Purple and Gold Details
The reception carried the colors inside. Tables had gold chargers, purple napkins and purple floral centerpieces. The cake was gold with purple roses, and guests enjoyed a big dessert and charcuterie table.
Toasts and Dancing
Lupe and Johnny sat at a sweetheart table under purple drapes while friends and family gave toasts. Then they shared their first dance, and guests filled the dance floor for the rest of the night. A photo backdrop gave everyone a fun spot for group pictures.
Planning a Knollwood Country Club Wedding?
Here are a few tips from our time at Knollwood Country Club:
Plan a first look by the hedges. The greenery makes a clean, simple backdrop.
Save time for golden hour on the golf course. The hillside and trees glow in the late afternoon light.
Stay out a few extra minutes at sunset for portraits under the palm trees.
