Bryce + Desiree - Beautiful Orange County Wedding

I met Desiree and Bryce at a previous wedding I had photographed last year. I was so excited when they reached out and considered me to be their photographer. We had a really fun time together when we went up to the mountains for their engagement session which turned out to be a snow covered paradise.

After that day i could not wait for their big day.

The big day was perfect. We started the day with Desiree getting ready at her hotel while Bryce got ready at their house. Everything was super laid back and no rush for anything. What more can you ask for on the day of your wedding.

Everyone headed over for a beautiful ceremony at the Saint Martin de Porres Catholic Church. The church was stunning, and the ceremony was went as planned with their closest family and friends.

After the ceremony and some family photos, we stopped by their house to see and take some photos with their doggo Bailey! That was so fun. After a quick pitstop we headed down to Green Cheek Beer Co for a couple of brews and some really fun photos. Aside from Bryce and Desiree both working in the craft beer industry and being close with the owners, this was also the spot where they first met!

We finally ended the night at the reception. They had their grand entrance, danced, ate, partied and took countless photos with all their friends and family. The wedding was really an amazing day and I am so happy I was able to be a part of it.

David + Lauren - Beautiful Candlewood Country Club Wedding - Whittier California

David and Lauren’s wedding at the Candlewood Country Club in Whittier, California was a beautiful celebration of love. I had been looking forward to this wedding ever since I had met David and Lauren and we photographed their engagement session.

The entire event was planned and coordinated by Over the Top Events. I have had the pleasure of working with them on several occasions now and they know how to put on a great wedding!

These two had a beautiful ceremony followed by some really great photos around the venue. But they could not wait to be with their friends and family, and as soon as they had their grande entrance, the party began! It was so great to be there and be a part of such a great night!

Alex + Lauren - Intimate Mansion Wedding - Downtown Upland CA

Alex + Lauren put together a dream of a wedding. This beautiful event was hosted by an amazing mansion home sitting at the top of the city near the mountains over looking Upland California. The event was coordinated and dressed by one of the best teams out there Over the Top Rentals who spent so much time making sure everything was perfect.

There was so much anticipation leading up to this wedding. We have been going over all the amazing details going into this day. The dress, the decor, the car rental, we were so excited about everything and this wedding couldn’t have come together more perfect.

The day started really relaxed as Lauren and her mom prepared to get her into her dress. There really was no rush, the team had everything ready to go, as guests began to arrive. The ceremony took place on one side of the house under some tree cover with trees, flowers and a little bit of the mountain peaking out in the backdrop. Alex was overwhelmed with emotions as his bride came down the aisle. It was so beautiful to see these two amazing people finally get to share this day together.

Once the ceremony was over we drove off in a 1966 Ford Mustang they had rented from Beach Gypsy Classics. The car fit their style so perfectly and it was a fun ride all the way down to downtown. After we set up for the first set of photos we noticed we had more than enough time to do whatever we wanted and we all agreed coffee was in order. We stopped by Rad Coffee in downtown Upland for some cold brew. We had a great time sipping on coffee and taking their photos.

The rest of the night was an epic! After they made their grand entrance driving into the venue, everyone greeted them with so much enthusiasm and ready to party! It was so good to see Alex + Lauren surrounded by all their friends and family, it couldn’t have been a better night.

Mario + Danielle - Wedding - Loft 84 in Downtown Riverside, Ca.

What an incredible wedding day we got to share with Mario + Danielle. We spent the day running around Downtown Riverside taking some amazing photos before we spent the rest of the night at one of my favorite Venues, Loft 84!

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!

Felipe + Dolores - Wedding - Huntington Beach, CA

We are very fortunate to meet and photograph some of the greatest couples in the world, Felipe and Dolores are no exception. From the day we met, we felt instantly connected to them. They also put together a beautiful wedding at the Newland Barn in Huntington Beach. It was our first time photographing and this amazing outdoor venue. 

Their ceremony took place under a homemade alter, decorated with a floral arrangement. It complimented the greenery over looking the blue sky behind them. The Newland Barn grounds had several places for us to explore and find great locations for their family and bridal party photos. We also walked their beautiful garden and loved their use of space to create intimate moments with our couple. 

We loved watching Felipe be with and enjoy his new wife! When we were done with photos we set ourselves up for their grand entrance. Felipe and Dolores walked down the path to a warm welcoming from their friends and family. The sun was already setting, and the strung lights were lit, which made for a very romantic setting as they danced their first dance.

There were so many amazing details. From the beautiful table decor, the vintage furniture displayed, the fun lawn games and their caterer baking hot pizzas on the spot for everyone to enjoy! We had an incredible time with these two and truly enjoyed every part of their big day!
