Evan VonDerheide and Katherine “Katie” Martin were married April 24 on a bluff in Malibu, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The bride is the daughter of Russ and Florence Martin, and Christopher and Diane Olson; the groom is the son of La Cañada Flintridge residents Jim and Lisa VonDerheide.

The bride appeared in an Oscar de la Renta gown and carried a bouquet of white roses, blue and white hydrangea, cornflowers, freesia and gardenias, accented by lily grass.

Ashley Aldern served as maid of honor; bridesmaids were Irene Guevara and Jaclyn Dare, the bride’s step-sister. The groom’s sister, Kendra Fogg, gave the reading.

Best man was Gene Milner; groomsmen were Mike Boosalis and Chris Fogg, the groom’s brother-in-law. The ring bearer for the double-ring ceremony was the groom’s nephew and godson, Matthew Fogg.
