Erica and Dennis

July 1st was a beautiful day to photograph Erica and Dennis' wedding at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in Long Beach. We started with the bride and her gorgeous daughter at the Naples Peninsula area. We took some nice photos of them along the coast despite the wind. From there we moved on to the church grounds. For a small wedding, Erica and Dennis had a lot of family and friends in attendance. After many group and family photos, we finally got Erica and Dennis to pose for some gorgeous bride and groom photos. The grounds were beautiful, the lighting just perfect, and the bride and groom radiant! Thank you both for allowing us to photograph your amazing day! Best wishes!

Holly and Michael

Holly and Michael are a very fun couple and we had a great time creating their engagement photos! Mike had built the tack shed which made for a wonderful background. Holly provided the horses and twin kittens. Gunner cooperated with having his photo taken as long as I rattled his oats bucket! We are looking forward to photographing their wedding later at Hidden Valley Golf Club in Norco. It’s going to be FUN!

Beautiful Brittany

Had a great time taking Brittany's photos. She will be graduating from UC Irvine and is such a lovely young lady and so sweet. We had a fun time shooting in fields and locations around town. The dark clouds threatened rain but we were lucky to not have the drops fall till we were riding home! Good luck Brittany on a bright future!

Bryan and Arwen's Wedding!

Bryan and Arwen's Wet Wedding!

Bryan and Arwen were married last Friday at Canyon Crest Country Club in Riverside. It was a cloudy day and rain was in the forecast. What wasn't expected was the hail that came pouring down as Arwen was just starting to walk down the aisle! Arwen was so beautiful even with the hail falling on her and Bryan during the ceremony. They were so good natured and took it all in stride to make it a memorable and beautiful ceremony. After we weren't sure about taking pictures out in the rain storm but it cleared up nicely and as you can see from the photos we got some beautiful moments captured from their special day. The reception was held at the Orange Crest Club in Riverside and we had a beautiful sunset. I love Arwen's antique style theme and her dress was so gorgeous! You couldn't even tell that it was wet! I love how romantic their love story is having known each other for many years in high school and finding each other again two years ago. The toasts were hilarious. I loved the "Lord of the Rings" references during Bryan's brothers toasts. They are such a cute couple. I hope you both have an awesome honeymoon in Italy!

Tommy and Stephanie's Wedding

March 5th was a beautiful day for Tommy and Stephanie's wedding. Everything was beautiful and it was great to share in their happiness! Being high school sweethearts and reuniting later in life made it even more special! I love how they played the "Brady Bunch" theme after the ceremony as they walked down the aisle with their family! I also loved all the details. Stephanie used broaches from her Grandmother's collection to make the bouquets even more memorable! The colors were gorgeous and they transformed the home into a romantic candlelit fairy tale for the reception! Here are some shots I liked from their wonderful day.
