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.

G+H had the most magical day in the most magical of places— Rimrock Ranch in Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley! The weather was literally perfect and every detail was thoughtful and intentional and executed flawlessly by Katie at Best Day Ever Events! We started with the two grooms taking photo all over the property and even with one of the horses, Ranger. Next, it was time for guest arrival and ceremony where their guests were first greeted by singing from one of their favorite performers, Leslie Page. As the guests began to sample cocktails from Your Little Local and take their seats, each guest was given a red, woven bracelet. Once everyone was seated, the officiant Lori Kahn explained that the grooms wished their guests to infuse their love and positive energy into their bracelets and place them on their wrists. The two grooms walked down the aisle together, followed by some readings and personal vows. When the vows were concluded— Gordon had set up a surprise for Hank! When cued with the

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
