Bryce + Desiree - Beautiful Orange County Wedding by Ulices Del Toro

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 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 by Ulices Del Toro

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.
