Caitlyn & Christopher :: 6-19-2015 :: Wedding in Glendora

What an exceptionally wonderful day! Caitlyn and Christopher started their day getting ready at Glenkirk Church in Glendora with their guys and girls. After capturing some details and getting ready, they had a private "not" first look moment together, where they had some time to pray, relax and enjoy soaking in the moments of anticipation before walking down the isle. During their ceremony, we heard some sweet words of encouragement and love from their moms and they braided a cord of three strands, symbolizing their intertwining lives with God at the center. The room was full of so much joy as they exchanged vows and rings. After the ceremony we briefly took a few family photos and then headed to front of the church for bridal party and bride and groom portraits. I don't think I have ever seen a more joyful bride and groom and they were litereally beaming the entire time we were taking pictures! Glenkirk Church has this awesome cross built into the architecture of their building and it made for some amazing shots of the newlyweds! The reception took place directly outside the church sanctuary and began with their first dance and some emotional toasts. In between reception events, Caitlyn and Christopher greeted each and every one of their guests. And with the help of their awesome DJ Kyle, everyone had a blast dancing on into the night. We are so honored to have been a part of this day from the invitation and program design all the way through documenting the big day, and we are so thankful for Caitlyn and Christopher's organization - it helped the day go amazingly well.

Sasha + Brenden :: 6/22/24 :: Wedding in Fullerton

Image
Our first to two weddings this year and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the unseasonably warm heat!). Sasha and Brenden tied the knot at the stunning Muckenthalar Mansion , just a few miles from our home! Our day with the couple started with their first look, wedding party and couple's portraits. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time. After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, featuring a "first shot" of tequila, these two were officially official! After family photos and some detail shots it was time to party. During the reception their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances and creating a custom work of abstract art for the couple to hang in their home! Once the dance floor was opened with a giant group shot, we stole the couple away for some magical golden hour photos at the end of our time with them. A beautiful end for a stunning day!

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 mar...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
