Nicole & Brad :: 4-3-2016 :: Wedding in Riverside

What a beautiful day it was for Nicole and Brad! These two wed at Loft 84 in beautiful downtown Riverside. The beautiful and unique movie ticket invitations designed by the bride set the tone for the day: a vintage, fun, movie, Harry Potter themed wedding and with pink and navy as the colors of the day! We started out with Nicole getting ready on location in the upstairs are of the loft. After Nicole had donned her beautiful dress and veil, we captured some sweet moments as Brad helped their son James get all dressed up for the big day. Next Nicole and Brad shared their first look nearby the venue around some of the beautiful downtown exteriors. After some sweet moments, we met up with the bridal party and family for some more portraits. We loved all the unique and fun Harry Potter details from the wands, snitch necklace, and Harry Potter pins to the corsages made from Harry Potter book pages, everything was off the charts! After some portraits with the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. and their son James we headed back the the venue for the ceremony. It was short and sweet ceremony, including a sweet moment where James was asked to make his own vows to love his mom and dad and was given a pocketwatch as a symbol of the promises he made. After some fun moments, laughter, exchange of rings and prayer, these two were married! Their first kiss was followed by much celebration and cheers of joy from their closest friends and family, who were gathered to witness their big day. After cocktail hour where the bride and groom stole away for a few moments together and some family photos, they then got to join their party! All the DIY elements and movie theme details were amazing! Once all the guests were seated, the bridal party made their grand entrance into the reception, and Nicole and Brad went right into their first dance, followed by Nicole's first dance with James dinner and toasts. Up next were all the usual reception shenanigans including some amazing food and stunning dessert display. It was such a marveous day for such a wonderful couple and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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!
