Luis + Sierra - Wedding - Rustic Mountainside Wedding in Lytle Creek Ca

Jon + Lane - Wedding - Beachside Ceremony at the Mandalay Oxnard Ca.

It is always a beautiful experience to see your good friends having the day of their lives. I have been friends with Jon for a while now. He is also an artist, and we have collaborated on many projects together over the years. I have watched him grow into the person he is today, and I am proud to call him a close friend.

It has been really amazing to watch Jon and Lane’s relationship grow. They have travelled and done so many great things together, and when we see them together it is clear they are meant for one another. Their wedding day was a reflection of all the happiness their life together has brought, and we were fortunate to be the ones there to capture that.

Elysia + Lauren - Wedding - Ethereal Gardens Escondido Ca.

We’ve always enjoyed Ethereal Gardens. If you’ve ever been to their venues you know that they really have a wow factor, but aside from that, their staff is always so caring and just all around great people. Add that with an already amazing couple, some energetic and fun guests, and some bomb food, you have the perfect recipe for an amazing wedding!

Lauren and Elysia are so much fun, we were fortunate enough to have met them through a referral, and we all hit it off pretty quick. We really got to know them during their engagement session, so we had an idea what we were in for, but once we stepped onto the venue in Escondido California, we knew it was going to be really special. Both of the bridal suites were so beautiful and were a perfect space for both Lauren and Elysia to get ready in and enjoy that time before the wedding started. The ceremony took place in a beautifully rustic barn just above the reception area. They had a friend play music for the guests, and the seating was so perfectly intimate.

The reception was just incredible, right at the beginning of their grand entrance, you could feel the energy in the room, everyone was ready to dance, laugh and have the best time! We had an incredible night with Lauren, Elysia and all of their friends and family. We cannot thank them enough for having us be a part of such a special day.

Sam + Alexa - Wedding - Ranch Style Wedding in the Foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains

This beautiful ranch style wedding took place in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains, in the little known town of Devore. It was a perfect setting for Sam + Alexa who wanted a very intimate wedding with their family and friends.

What was so great about this wedding was all the work they put into the details. Sam and Alexa made most of the decor, and completely constructed the ceremony location that turned out to be just amazing. It was a perfect wedding for a perfect couple. There really isn’t much we can say, you have to take a look for yourself!

Irvin + Jocelyn - Wedding - San Diego Ca at The Moniker Warehouse

One of our favorite things about weddings is love itself. And seeing our couples express their love, their excitement, their adoration for each other, is why we do what we do. Irvin and Jocelyn have so much love for each other, and we were fortunate enough to be the ones to capture it for them.

These two took us down to beautiful San Diego California for their wedding day. Jocelyn got herself ready at a beautiful AirBnB in a private residential area of San Diego known as Talmadge while Irvin got himself ready at the Hilton Garden Inn in Downtown Bayside.

The rest of the day we spent at this incredible coffee shop turned venue in East Village known as the Moniker Warehouse. This place is stunning, and really set the right kind of vibes Irvin and Jocelyn were putting out. If you got to know them, you knew this place was perfect for them. And you could really feel the emotions in the air. Everyone took their seats, Irvin walked out and all of their wedding party made their way out one by one. When Jocelyn finally came out and walked down the isle, Irvin could not hold his emotions in. We love that, we love a couple that aren’t afraid to show their love for each other. and neither of them held back.

The rest of the night was a dream, we took pictures outside at night which made for some really awesome photos. Everyone danced, we cut the cake, heard some really great speeches and partied. We had so much fun celebrating with these two and are just honored they chose us to help them capture these memories.

Gus + Teresa - Wedding - Pasadena Ca at the Altadena Town and Country Club

Sometimes it is really hard to predict the weather, but when it comes to your wedding day, you should never let that get you down. this wedding was a perfect example of that. It was a gloomy morning in Pasadena California on this day, but both Gus and Teresa were completely unbothered, and completely excited for the day.

Everything took place at the beautiful Altadena Town and Country Club, and they were more than prepared for these types of situations. They had to make arrangements to move the wedding completely indoors, because by the time Teresa had her dress on, it was pouring outside. But the venue made those accommodations in the blink of any eye. And honestly, no one would have assumed any different.

The day stayed on schedule, and went as planned, and everything about this wedding was just amazing. The venue looked great, the details were perfect, and our couple looked amazing. We had a wonderful time enjoying this day along with them.

Crystal + Andres - Wedding - Long Beach, Ca

The Queen Mary was once a benchmark for elegance and luxury traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, filed with the richest and most famous people during its time. This beauty and elegance is what drew Crystal and Andres to have their wedding on California’s historic ship. This 40’s themed wedding could not have taken place in a better setting. Crystal and Andres took us back to a much simpler time, and you really felt like you were in a different world with all the attention that went into the details. Crystal and her girls were gowned head to tow in the most beautiful vintage style, while Andres and his groomsmen were perfectly groomed and dapper.

The weather was perfect, and we had the deck to ourselves with an incredible view of Downtown Long Beach as our backdrop for Crystal and Andres’ first look. We love being able to capture these moments with our couples. The first look is an incredibly intimate moment, and watching these two share that time together, and talk with each other before the ceremony, and before anyone else sees them has always been one of our favorite moments.

We felt so honored to have been part of their big day. I (Ulices) have known Crystal since the 3rd grade. There is a very powerful feeling of joy and happiness we get from being able to share these special moments with people we have grown up with our entire lives. Crystal and Andres have a beautiful relationship, they were surrounded by so much love and support and we had the best time dancing, laughing and capturing their day.
