Lisa & Fred :: 11-22-2014 :: Wedding in Riverside

Lisa and Fred had such a wonderfully sweet wedding day! They got married at the beautiful Canyon Crest Country Club nestled in the hills of Riverside, it was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect! We started off our day capturing some details and then documenting the bride and groom getting ready for the big day. Next we took Lisa and Fred down to the edge of the golf course for their first look and spent some time taking portraits of these two. You can really tell how much they love each other, they have such a sweet tenderness between them :) Then we met up with the bridal party and family for some more pictures and before you knew it, it was time for the ceremony to begin! We absolutely loved Lisa's attention to detail with her ceremony decor, including the L "heart" F in rose petals coming down the isle which was super cute! After vows, rings, unity sand and The Kiss, these two "jumped the broom," a wonderful tradition symbolizing their entrance into marriage together! Lisa's reception details were also off the charts with an amazing long table for all the guests to sit at together (it made it feel like one big family party!) and a beautiful sweetheart table complete with comfy couch and chuppah. After cocktail hour, dinner and toasts, Lisa and Fred played a fun version of the newleywed game where they sat back to back and were asked questions about the two of them as a couple. If they thought the answer was Lisa, they would hold up the champagne flute and if they thought it was Fred, they would hold up the Hulk gloves. It was hilarious and so fun! :) Then the new Mr. and Mrs. Allen did their first dance on a magical cloud of dry ice, tossed the bouquet and garter (at the same time!) and shared their first few bites of cake. Then the party really got started with lots of fun dancing, socializing and candy-bar munching! We are so incredibly happy for these two and so blessed to have photographed their stunning wedding day! :)

Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana,  where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where  the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony.  Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun deta

Another postponed wedding couple that finally got to have their day! YAYYYYYY! This was the most wonderful pink wedding of my dreams and every detail was off the charts!  Their venue, Ruby Street in Highland Park,  was a perfect setting to apply all their incredible colorful touches and to have a fun, beautiful day! We started out with Cheri's details and getting ready at the venue. After Cherie had donned her incredible pink and sparkly Lazaro gown and Max was all suited up in his custom pink suit, these two shared their first look!  After some more photos around the venue and meeting up with their wedding party, it was finally time for their sweet and short ceremony. Can we talk about the DIY ribbon arch for a second? These two created it themselves and knocked it out of the park ! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, exchange of rings, a hand fasting ceremony and finally these two were officially married (again! They officially tied the knot last ye
