Fleur de Lis Wedding Chapel/ Raymond and Therese say I Do

Rainy day weddings mean good luck, that is exactly how Raymond and Therese feel about each other. They are so lucky and grateful that they found one another.

They got married at the historic Fleur de Lis Chapel In Upland.

This chapel is so charming and lovely, if you have never been to it, it is definitely a must see.

Raymond and Therese had their closest family and friends witness them exchange their vows and then they got to blow bubbles and give them their well wishes.

It was a beautiful day even with the rain.

Here is a sneak peek of this sweet couples wedding at Fleur de Lis Chapel.

Spring Valley Lake Country Club Wedding

Jessica and Ryan had a gorgeous, winter wedding at Spring Valley Lake Country Club. The previous days of rain left us with blue skies scattered with puffy white clouds, it was absolutely lovely!

Jessica and Ryan both serve our country in the military so it was an honor to photograph their wedding.

Jessica serves in the Air Force and Ryan is a Marine.

The love that this sweet couple shares is so true and real, that it touched each and every one’s hearts during the ceremony.

Strawberry Farms Golf Course Wedding

It was a Wild West Wedding at the incredible Strawberry Farms Golf Course in Irvine for Cari and Charlie.

Cari could not have been more proud to take on her new last name of West! These two make the perfect wild, west country couple and I adore them so very much.

January is such a gorgeous month for a wedding especially when it is at one of my favorite wedding venues, Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine, California.

Cari and Charlie are simply adorable and their love story tugged army heart.

I love that they both adore the Lord, Family and Country Music. Even their last named fit right into the barn them of Strawberry Farms, the Wild West Wedding. How cute is that!!!

The weather was perfect at Strawberry Farms Golf Club, the sky was filled with puffy clouds mixed with blue skies. This made for the perfect setting for wedding photos.

Cari looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day and Charlie looked so very handsome, especially wearing his cowboy hat!

We had the best wedding vendors in the industry! Pamela from French Bouquet did an incredible job designing all of the flowers and accents and Carlos from LB entertainment rocked the house all evening long. It was an exceptional wedding and every single guest had a blast!

I am so grateful to have met this sweet couple and I look forward to many more memories and life moments with them.

Newport Beach California LDS Temple Wedding

Sydney and Tauivi are the sweetest couple ever!

Their love story just melts my heart.

This darling wedding couple sealed their love at the incredible Newport Beach California LDS Temple.

This is one magnificent temple.

The grounds are lush and beautiful which make for swoon worthy wedding pictures!

This wedding was so very special for me to photograph because I have known Sydney’s Father since we were young kids. Watching Sydney grow up into such an incredible person and now a wife was such a blessing.

Sydney and Tauivi had the biggest smiles on their faces when they exited the Newport Beach LDS Temple doors after they sealed their love for one another for eternity.

Their family and friends were waiting to shower them with well wishes on this incredible January day in sunny Newport Beach, California.

We got the most incredible and beautiful wedding photos of this sweet couple while we walked around the grounds of the Newport Beach LDS Temple and then we headed off to an incredible reception at the Upland LDS ward. The evening was filled with love, family, food and joy.

I love photographing weddings so much and this one surely brought joy too my heart.

Strawberry Farms Golf Club Wedding Pictures// Elizabeth + Terry

Elizabeth + Terry Married at Strawberry Farms Golf Club June 2017

Elizabeth and Terry have had the sweetest love story. When Elizabeth met Terry at the young age of 14 she declared she was going to marry him and over a decade later her wedding dream came true. They both love the outdoors and the country so the moment they viewed the incredible wedding venue of Strawberry Farms Golf Club they knew this was the place to have their ceremony and reception. The day was filled with so much love. Elizabeth was glowing from all of the love she had inside and Terry could not stop smiling and looking at his beautiful bride. This couple is so in love and it is so sweet to witness.

Strawberry Farms is such a magical place for a wedding. It is tucked back in the hills of Orange County in the city of Irvine. You would never guess that a turn off of a busy street would take you down the most charming road lined with rose bushes and beautiful bougonvillas. It is so charming. The best part is when you see the cutest rustic red barn at the end of the street. The red barn is so unique and the only barn venue of its kind in Orange County. Our team absolutely loves working with Strawberry Farms Golf Club and all of their incredible clients.

Elizabeth and Terry enjoyed their magical wedding ceremony and their fun filled reception. All of the guest enjoyed drinking and eating fine food and beverages all evening long. This Strawberry Farms wedding was one of the best of the summer. 

 After the reception this sweet couple took a road trip though Vegas and onto their new home in Idaho where they will cultivate their love and start a family. We wish you so much love. xo

Loyola Marymount University Rainbow Canyon Ranch Wedding Photos

Rachael + Kevin

Rachael + Kevin met while attending college at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. They would often spend their time on the beaches of Marina Del Mar with their friends talking about classes and what they wanted for their future. Their love story grew stronger and one day on the view that over looks the city they both said those sweet words " I Love You" from this point on these Loyola Marymount University students were attached at the hip. One beautiful, sunny day, Kevin asked Rachael to marry him and their fairytale wedding story began. They were married in the beautiful Sacred Heart Chapel at Loyola Marymount University and it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony.  Next, the fun was going to happen at the families horse ranch in Azusa. The Rainbow Canyon Ranch was transformed into a wedding fairytale dream. Each and every single detail was hand picked by the bride, groom and their families. It was such a beautiful sight to see. When you entered Rainbow Canyon Ranch you were greeted by a horse dressed up as a unicorn, beautiful and colorful decor, market lights, and all the amenities you need while attending a wedding reception outdoors. This family thought of everything.. It was a magical evening under the stars and all attendees enjoyed themselves. We are so happy for this beautiful and sweet couple and we wish them the best...
