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! :)

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!
