Kimberly Crest House and Gardens Wedding & The Mitten Building Wedding

Wedding Photography is a one of a kind job. We have the honor of seeing our couples fall in love all over again as the say "I do." This wedding was especially dreamy. The pure elegance of this venue makes this place one of our favorite places. This beautiful couple picked the perfect place to get married. Kimberly Crest House & Gardens is a one of a kind location filled with trees that could touch the sky and enchanting architecture all in one which makes for stunning wedding photos. 

Once these two became husband and wife everyone headed to the wedding reception which took place at The Mitten Building. The Mitten Building is filled with red brick that adds warmth to the room with the added touches of the couple this venue was the perfect reception site. We are so glad we could be their Riverside wedding photographers. We wish these two nothing but the best and a long happy marriage together.

Private Estate & Pomona Valley Mining Company Wedding

This striking outside of the box wedding took place at a private estate, what made it so touch is that it is the grooms parents house. The 360 degree views at their estate wedding were stunning. They captured the haunting beauty of desert life right down to the magnificent Joshua trees. The estate was decorated with lush and beautiful flowers, an area with vineyards, and a majestic Arabian stallion to photograph with after the wedding ceremony. We love the unique way of photographing a private estate wedding. The innovative decorations are exclusive to just this bride and groom. Such a romantic place to celebrate love and marriage. Following the ceremony the reception was held at the Pomona Valley Mining Company. This spectacular venue is nestled on a mountain cliff with beautiful views. The reception ballroom overlooks the city lights making for the perfect location to celebrate.

Our Southern California wedding photography services were not only at this couples wedding, we also were also honored to photograph their engagement session. We had an outstanding photography session, allowing us to capture so many sensational photos. It's always a good thing to plan an engagement session with your wedding photographer. Having that photo session allows you to get to know your photographer and them to get to know you.  You want to make sure you get along well together and that you love the photos that you receive. Kathryn and Christopher are so thoughtful and kind, we loved being their wedding photographers. These two made capturing their love for each other easy for us. See below for some of our favorite photos through out their wedding day. 

Congratulations to this beautiful couple we wish you both a life full of happiness and love.

Rancho El Toro Wedding - Elegancia Events - Corona

This wedding is why we became wedding photographers. The pure love that this bride and groom show for each other is what most people search a lifetime for. Rancho El Toro by Elegancia Events is a stunning wedding venue, snuggled in a beautifully secluded area of Corona. This was our first time photographing a wedding at this venue, we had an absolute blast finding interesting and fabulous location's to do romantic photos with this couple. At one point we ended up behind the reception venue in what looked like an enchanted field. An absolute beautiful location and couple. 

This wedding was perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. The bride was slightly nervous but you saw those nerves flow away as she glided  down the aisle to the man of her dreams. She has loved her groom since she was 15, they were high school sweethearts. The ceremony was beautiful and sentimental there were plenty of happy tears. The reception was filled fun and laughter as everyone danced the night away.
We are so happy for this adorable couple and truly think their love will last forever. Thank you for choosing us to be your Southern California wedding photographers.

Wilson Creek Winery Wedding

We LOVE when we have the privilege of photographing a wedding at Wilson Creek Winery. This wedding venue is absolutely stunning. We always have nothing but the best experience here. The staff is so helpful and organized. This wedding venue and their staff truly make being a wedding photographer a blast.

Most often then not our engaged couples have already chosen their wedding venue, before reserving our wedding photography services. Brides have been dreaming about this day for years and the grooms generally don't care all that much where the wedding is located, as long as their bride is happy. :) This lovely couple seemed to of chosen everything together. The bride and groom found the venue together, picked the flowers together, the wedding cake, the food that would be served, etc. She did find her own wedding dress along with a beautiful cover up all at Davids Bridal. This bride also had some amazing "something blue" shoes by Steve Madden. We are loving the idea of a bride’s “something blue” being her fun and funky shoes. It truly is so much fun seeing what all of our bridal couples decide to use for decorations, venue. Even the look of the wedding can vary based on the style and personalities of a couple. We are so pleased to congratulate this beautiful couple and wish them nothing but the best in all of their life adventures. Thank you for letting us be your wedding photographer.

Susan & Jonathan's Elopement Wedding

Weddings are so expensive nowadays. Why have a huge wedding? 9 out of 10 times couples choose a large wedding because their family wants to celebrate with friends and family. Obviously some brides and grooms choose to have a large wedding because it’s that special fairytale they always imagined. However what if you could have that fairytale wedding without all the cost?

So many couples are choosing to save their money and celebrate their love in a smaller way with a wedding elopement. For so many years eloping was almost frowned upon...it was how you got married when you weren't supported by family or maybe a Romeo and Juliet situation was taking place. Times have changed and elopement weddings are now filled with excitement and adventure. Brides and grooms are traveling all over the world, with a smaller budget getting married over a cliff or next to a waterfall. An elopement wedding allows the sky to be the limit as far as location. 

We are so excited to add to our packages an elopement wedding section. Our Elopement Wedding Package starts at just $1000, and this package includes two photographers. We are in love with this new wedding elopement trend and can’t wait to work with our future brides and grooms. We are available for any location whether it be in California or Ireland....we are traveling photographers excited to be able to photograph your dream wedding. 

Congratulations to this beautiful couple. We know you will find all the love and happiness in the world.  

Wedgewood Sierra La Verne Country Club Wedding

This gorgeous Wedgewood wedding was definitely one for the books. Elizabeth and Travis chose to get married at their local church. Elizabeth was running a smidgen late so when we were finally able to meet our blushing bride she was nervous and stressed. We did our best to calm her nerves, but as it is at so many weddings, once her wedding dress went on not only did she look amazing (check out that stunning dress) but her nerves ceased. She was ready to see the man of her dreams and have her grandfather walk her down the aisle. As the bride glided so gracefully down the aisle with her grandpa everyone stood and watched in awe of how stunning she looked. When she finally made it to her groom she took his hands and their wedding ceremony began.

The ceremony was beautiful and filled with perfect prayers and love. Once the ceremony was over everyone headed over to the Sierra la Verne Wedgewood wedding venue for some fun. We were able to take this beautiful couple out onto the golf course for their "romantic" photos. We walked  around the golf course capturing amazing photos filled with love. Along the way we were able to see some ducks and geese that kept us on our toes (I'm pretty scared of geese, so I was concerned). The reception went on as the guests danced the night away and truly celebrated this new married couple. Congratulations to the couple, we loved being your wedding photographers.

The Mitten Building Wedding

Never having had the opportunity to photograph at The Mitten Building, Nichole and I were so eager and excited to work at this fabulous wedding venue. Our first impression upon arriving at The Mitten Building, we were immersed by a strong red brick building. This romantic building exceeded our expectations. The upstairs wedding venue is a sight to behold, with elegant wooden floors, deep cardinal brick walls all being gently lit making this ceremony fill with ardent.

After enjoying the vast wedding venue it was time to meet our blushing bride. She of course was glowing and filled with excitement of the day. Many of our brides are often nervous about the ceremony, but Julie never once appeared to be nervous. She seemed truly confident in the love that her and Josh share and couldn't wait for the moment to say "I do" to Josh. 

The ceremony was brisk and suitable to their love. Our favorite part was the romantics we got to capture of the smitten couple. We had so much fun bringing this bride and groom onto the train tracks and capturing all their giggles and kisses. Being a wedding photographer our soul purpose is to allow our couples to relive their wedding day through pictures. Well, we also like to add in some added bonus romantic shots of just the two of them expressing their true honest love. This couple made that easy and we love the way their wedding photographs came out. 

Wedding photography in Redlands is a lot of fun and we truly enjoyed The Mitten and can not wait to capture more weddings in April at this venue. Congratulations to our bride and groom! We know your love for each other will last a lifetime!

Jordan & Neil Wedding - The Federal Bar - Long Beach

We love being Orange County wedding photographers but we also love getting the opportunity to photograph weddings outside of Orange County. This beautiful wedding was at The Federal Bar in Long Beach CA (such a fun and unique wedding venue, definitely a great location.....but more on the venue later). We arrived at the lovely Hyatt Hotel in Long Beach of course to meet our beautiful bride and her brides-man and bridesmaid. She was finishing up with her makeup and the reality of the day was beginning to sink in. Today was the day she was to be married to the man of her dreams. The guy who was always in her corner and was always taller then her (a plus in her book). As the time came closer to head to the venue, it was time for her to put her wedding dress on (that’s generally the moment our brides start getting more nervous and anxious). Her friends all told her how stunning she looked in her wedding dress and with her super awesome top hat. Yes, she wore a top hat! This was a first for us but this bride rocked it out and she looked just gorgeous and super authentic. It was time for us to leave and head to the venue. 

Upon our arrival at The Federal Bar in Long Beach, we gasped at the sureal architecture that had been maintained so well over the years. This wedding was meant to have a little 50's flair, and this venue helped make that possible. When you walk into The Federal Bar you are immersed with tall ceilings, dark ageless wood walls, and the largest most glamorous chandeliers you've probably ever seen. The aged beauty doesn’t stop in the down stairs area they have a unique metal vault big enough to fit 10-15 people, and a timeless saloon for the bridal party to prepare and take photos before the wedding. 

The wedding is moments away from beginning, all the guests are seated and anxiously awaiting for the wedding to begin. The doors open and out walks the groom to an awesome rock song as he flashes the rock on symbol down the aisle. At last, it’s the brides moment to walk down the aisle with her father by her side to the man she will spend the rest of her life with. As she glided down the aisle with her father by her side everyone stood with pure joy at the beautiful moment they were witnessing as these two were about to become husband and wife. The ceremony was short and sweet filled with heart felt moments and loving stories shared about the couple. The officiant announces that Neil may kiss his bride and everyone erupts with happiness and love. They are finally married! 

The rest of the evening was spent enjoying exquisite drinks and delicious food. The dancing opened shortly after dinner and our newlyweds danced the night away in each other’s arms celebrating their new life together, with their closest friends and family. We are so thrilled we were able to share in Jordan and Neil’s wedding day. We love being wedding photographers and always wish our couples a love to last a lifetime. 

Samantha & Brady Wedding

It's hard enough for two people to fall in love. When you add a child it can sometimes make things more challenging. I hold a special place in my heart for step parents. My mother and I were lucky enough to have my step dad. He helped raise me from when I was a young kid and I am so grateful to have him in my life. I realize now as an adult that it takes a special person to take someone else's child and take them in as your own, I was lucky enough to have that. So, I must admit this love story truly pulled at my heart strings. This stunning bride found the perfect man. He absolutely adores her and her precious daughter. This was the very first wedding that we actually cried at (we don't suggest taking photos while crying -lol-)! This bride and groom chose to deliver handwritten vows. OMG!!!! Let's just say there was not a dry eye in the audience. Her vows were filled with so much love, and he even added vows to her daughter. They brought the little girl up and the groom read them aloud to her, such a touching moment.

Once the mushy gushy stuff was done these three were ready for the party! They had tons of fun dancing their hearts out and of course enjoying all the fun laughs with their guests. These three are such a fabulous family and we just know they will be together forever! Thank you both for allowing us to be your Orange County wedding photographers on your wedding day, it was truly a perfect wedding and we just know you both will enjoy a lifetime of happiness. We can't wait to photograph your events in the future!

Elopement Idyllwild Wedding

When we are chosen to be someone's wedding photographer, we consider it to be the ultimate compliment. We know that we have a lot of competition in the wedding photography industry (especially in the Orange County area) and we know there are a ton of amazing photographers. We feel it comes down to, obviously our photos, but also the connection that we are able to form with our clients. These two were like our long lost friends. This bride and groom were way too much fun to work with and we couldn't be happier to be a part of their wedding day. 

When we arrived at the venue we immediately fell in LOVE. To say we had a million locations to take romantic pictures would be an understatement. Once we looked around for a bit, we met up with our beautiful bride Valerie, in a quant cabin in the woods. We had a blast photographing her getting all done up and taking her into the field to photograph her by herself. :)

Then it was time for the first look. The bride and groom were both a ball of nerves but both felt that they would calm down once they could see each other. The first look was a complete success; he was emotional seeing his gorgeous bride for the first time and we had a wonderful time capturing that serene moment.

Capturing romantics before the actual ceremony is always a good idea. It gives the bride and groom an opportunity to calm their nerves and just have a moment together. This couple was game for any and all of our photo ideas. We had this awesome bride traipsing around in her wedding dress and sandals all over the forest. But the results were totally worth it. So many awesome nature photos for this couple which was exactly what they were hoping to have. They are both avid hikers and really enjoy the outdoors. 

The ceremony was intimate and romantic. You could just feel their love for one another...there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to be their Orange County wedding photographers. We know that this couple will last a lifetime and then some. Congratulations!!  

Daisy & Jose Eagle Glen Golf Club Wedding

If you haven't had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Eagle Glen Golf Club, you should at least try a round of golf there sometime. This venue is simply gorgeous and full of awesome photography spots. Such an awesome venue! 

This gorgeous bride had two wedding dresses which is always fun for us! Having two dresses on your wedding day never used to be a "thing". But I think it's super fun and gives the bride a chance to have that classical timeless look her family may desire while still being able to have that fun "dance party" look she may want. We say "thumbs up"! 

We loved working with this bride and groom. Photographing weddings is always fun but when you have an awesome bride and groom like Daisy and Jose, it honestly makes the day that much better. Thank you both so much for letting us be your wedding photographers. We know you two will have an amazing marriage together.

Shantei & Sean Ayres Hotel Wedding

We love photographing people in love! These two are so in love and we couldn't be any happier for them. This fantastic bride doesn't live in California so she had to plan her entire wedding from another state (that is some tough stuff to do). But everything was so gorgeous and perfect.

This was a "Beauty and The Beast" theme wedding (who doesn't like Beauty and The Beast...)! Such a fun theme. We couldn't help but tease Sean the entire day that we knew who must be the beast. :) The wedding took place at The Ayres Hotel in Costa Mesa. The ceremony was next to this lovely fountain and the entire wedding was so dreamy and intimate, just the perfect setting! The staff at The Ayres was AWESOME to work with and the coordinator Rolanda with Vision into Reality Events is AMAZING! She is definitely the best and if you don't already have a coordinator, you need to hire her! She will give you the most beautiful wedding day and keep you happy and laughing the entire day. For a wedding photographer it is always more fun when we have a coordinator that keeps you up to date and is there if we need anything, and she WAS! 

Overall this wedding was absolutely perfect we are so happy for this beautiful couple and wish them nothing but all the happiness in the world! Thank you again for letting us capture your fabulous wedding day.

Private Estate Wedding

First of all let me just say we love family estate weddings; they can be such a special bonus to get married to the person you love at a place that means the world to you. Well this beautiful couple chose to get married at the bride's family home. When we arrived at the family home we were in awe of the stunning location and the water front views. Such a beautiful setting for a perfect wedding day. 

Now this amazing bride had 3 of the cutest little sons that she had in a previous marriage. When we arrived at the bride's room we were expecting to see her boys with her, but they were in the grooms room. The groom had decided that soon they would be his sons too and that he should share some special alone time with just the boys before the wedding. To say this family was adorable would be a complete understatement. I have a soft spot for step-fathers that step up to be a father figure. We just couldn't help but fall in love with the amazing chemistry that these parents had for each other and their beautiful family. We couldn't of had more fun working this amazing wedding and are so glad we could capture their wedding photos that they can treasure forever.

Josie & Gunnar Just Because Shoot

As some of you may know The Everlasting Photo is a small family run business made up with two sisters (Amber & Nichole). Well this photo shoot is particularly special to us because this is our handsome brother and his gorgeous girlfriend (who the entire family adores). As his sisters, we felt that we could bribe him into letting us photograph the two of them...it worked :). We ended up deciding that Laguna Niguel Regional Park was the best pick for the style they were hoping to capture. What a gorgeous park! We had the absolute best time laughing and photographing this amazing couple. After spending more time with these two together I must write, when two people just click everyone around them sees it too. Well I think I speak for everyone that knows this awesome couple that THEY CLICK and we are so happy you two are happy. Thank you both for letting us use you as guinea pigs and for practice (photographers constantly should be striving to improve...right?!) You two were the best! 

Wilson Creek Winery Wedding

We are so glad we could share this beautiful wedding day with this awesome bride and groom.

We love hearing our couples' love story. This awesome couple had "basically been married" for 23 years....thats right, you read this right. With of all of the stress and obstacles life threw at them they never got around to actually getting married. But we are so excited that they decided to finally tie the knot and allow us to photograph their special day.

This beautiful bride almost didn't have a dress to walk down the aisle in... she was one of the MANY women that had purchased a dress from Alfred Angelo. We all know the story this company took money from brides and many never received their dress. So this sweet bride had to go out in search for a new wedding dress (I couldn't imagine the stress she was under). But she was able to find a dress and she looked absolutely stunning. 

What else can you say about Wilson Creek Winery but WOW. Such a stunning venue with so many gorgeous places for photography moments. The staff at Wilson Creek Winery are so helpful and kind. We had a particularly fun time photographing this wedding because we had the pleasure of working with my amazing husband Brian with Love is Cinema. I know most wives brag about their husbands....but mine is truly talented (if your ever in need of a wedding videographer you should hire him). Overall this day couldnt have been more perfect and we are so thrilled that we could capture this stunning wedding at Wilson Creek Winery.

Temecula Creek Inn Wedding 

The amount of love and joy throughout this wedding day was astounding. We were so happy that we got to take part in this fun loving couples wedding at Temecula Creek Inn. 

When we arrived at this bride's hotel room she was blasting music with her girls and we knew at that moment this was going to be a really fun wedding to photograph. Our favorite weddings are when the bride and groom are just excited for the day with no stress. These two were nervous up until the first look; you could see the stress and tension disappear the moment they saw each other. The rest of the day was a dream between the gorgeous ceremony to the reception. The music was bumping at this reception and we couldn't help but boogey a little ourselves to the fun beats. 

This bride and groom picked the most beautiful venue; Temecula Creek Inn is just stunning and the staff is so awesome and easy to work with. In wedding photography your job is to make the wedding look as gorgeous as it was and let us just say Temecula Creek Inn made our lives easy! We honestly had the best vendor team at this wedding. We had the pleasure of once again working with my truly talented husband Brian with Love is Cinema; every wedding with him always goes just that much smoother. It really helps when your photographer and videographer have good chemistry together; it will make your wedding day go by even smoother. We also were lucky enough to work with Ian over at DJMC Ian B, talk about an awesome guy; he really made the reception a party....let's just say the dance floor was always full. We are so happy we were able to be a part of this fantastic wedding.
