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.

Jimmy + Jessica - Wedding - Dancing Through the Night in Los Angeles

We get to do so many amazing weddings year to year, but every once in a while we have a wedding that really stands out from the rest. Jimmy + Jessica’s wedding did exactly that. The entire day was a perfectly emotional day, filled with so much love from friends and family. Their wedding took place at Shepherd Church in Woodland Hills. The inside of the church was such a fun place to have their ceremony, and all of their photos turned out pretty amazing.

The reception is what really set everything over the top. Jimmy + Jessica had their wedding at a small little hidden venue in Los Angeles. They had chosen this venue because they did not have a limit on how long the party could go to, and they had planned on using that! Every single person brought the energy, and every little moment was just so fun, from their grand entrance, to their first dance, and the special performance the entire wedding party put on for everyone all the way through partying and dancing until the next morning!

Jimmy and Jessica are truly amazing, we are excited to watch them grow as a couple and feel so honored to have been part of their big day!

Kevin + Melissa - Wedding - Fullerton Ca

There are certain aspects of different weddings that tend to really stick out to us, and we always remember those things when we look back at all the great weddings we have photographed. But Kevin and Melissa’s wedding, EVERY aspect of the day really stuck out.

The day started out pretty casual at Melissa’s house. She had laid out her dress, her shoes, and all her accessories. As we started we also met the videography team from Yours Truly Media, and we hit it off with them right away. And that was only the beginning of a really fun day with them.

We all headed over to All Souls Church in the city of Alhambra. It was a really big beautiful church. The staff there was very welcoming and we had so much fun capturing the beauty of the old cathedral. When the ceremony was over we headed over for a little treat. Melissa wanted to stop by her old work at Fosselmans Ice Cream in Glendora. It was such a cute place to start their photography session. The ice cream parlor has been open for over a hundred years now, it was really awesome to photograph in a place like that with so much history!

We finally headed down to Downtown Fullerton where they were going to have their reception at Villa Del Sol. This was our first time photographing at Villa Del Sol, and we were completely taken back by how beautiful this venue was. We took our time to play around and find awesome places in the venue to take some photos before we hit the streets of Downtown Fullerton for a little session on the streets.

Gino from Euphoric Events Entertainment was our DJ for the night, and man did he get the night started! He kept everyone on their feet all night, we had so much fun dancing with everyone and capturing all of Kevin and Melissa’s family and friends having the time of their lives!

Also had an excellent experience working with the videography team at Yours Truly Media.

Tyler + Courtney - Wedding - Rancho Cucamonga Ca

Tyler and Courtney had a beautiful backyard wedding that couldn’t have come together any better. The wedding was held in a beautiful house in the Redhill Country Club area overlooking the beautiful city of Rancho Cucamonga.

I could go on about how perfect everything went from beginning to end, and it did! These two are perfect, and they made sure their wedding was nothing less than, but the reception was one of the most memorable events for us! They had a local band play the night away, and one of the highlights was when Tyler and his friends took over the band to play some of their own hits!

We are so excited for Tyler and Courtney to start their lives together and are so happy we got to share this awesome day with them!

Darren + Alisha - Wedding in Temecula Ca

There was something about the way Darren and Alisha would look at each other, and you knew they could see their future together. Just being around them, we could see their future together, and their future looked so good!

We started this beautiful day at The Peltzer Winery located in the middle of Temecula Valley Wine Country. Hidden away from all the chaos of the big cities, this was a perfect venue for Darren and Alisha to celebrate their big day.

Everything went as planned, both parties enjoyed each other’s company while getting ready. This venue has no shortage of great areas to photograph, so we picked out a little hidden area overlooking the winery to have them do their first look. They were both so excited to see each-other for the first time and get out some of those wedding day nerves.

The rest of the day could not have gone better. Darren and Alisha said their I Do’s as the sun set behind the winery groves, and the guests were ready to eat and dance the night away. We had an amazing time spending the day with these two, we are excited to watch them grow together and see where life takes 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.

Josh + Hannah - Wedding - Downtown Los Angeles, Ca

We are always excited to shoot every wedding we shoot. But this one was one of the most special weddings I think I could be a part of. Josh and Hannah's wedding has been long awaited. I met Joshua when we were 5 and 7. One of my favorite stories is how I was so intrigued by this kid who had just moved in across the street was out in his driveway practicing karate. I walked out to meet him and thus began a friendship that has gone over almost three decades.

I couldn't have been happier to find out one of my best friends had found the love of his life. Joshua and Hannah are quite the impressive couple too, although they met here in California, they maintained a long distance relationship overseas. Hannah lived in London, but we all know there is no distance that can keep real love apart.

Josh and Hannah's wedding day went down perfectly. The morning began at the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica where our bride spent this perfect summer day preparing herself for her big day. After their beautiful intimate wedding at the Kingdom Hall, we headed to their venue Casa Vertigo. And we couldn't have asked for a better setting for a Los Angeles rooftop photo session. I feel so lucky to have a friend as great as Joshua, and it makes me so happy to see him find the love of his life and begin this new journey together.
