Let’s get real though for a minute. In the months, weeks, days, before your big day the fear is always....”will it ACTUALLY rain”?! It is a concern, especially if your entire wedding is planned to be outside. Should we put the tent up or risk it? I don’t have all the answers but what I can say is if you work with an experienced photographer you will for sure have some amazing photos. Our team has worked countless rainy day weddings… through thunder and risk of flood. We still promise you will have fun and get AMAZING photos! You may get a bit damp and I do suggest bringing rain boots or shoes you don’t care about… but just look below....this day was raining but doesn’t it look perfect anyway? 💕

Muckenthaler Mansion Wedding - Muckenthaler Cultural Center

Muckenthaler Mansion wedding

Muckenthaler Mansion is such a stunning venue! We had a wonderful time photographing these two cuties’ wedding day. Such a beautiful day to fall even more in love. The wedding ceremony and wedding reception was all outside on the lush grounds of Muckenthaler Mansion. If you’re in need of an Orange County wedding venue definitely check out this stunning venue!

Dana Point Yacht Club Wedding - Dana Point Wedding

Dana Point California is definitely a favorite city of mine. If you ever have the opportunity to go exploring in downtown Dana Point you should. The city is filled with vast ocean views as far as the eye can see. The restaurants are all on point and tasty! Okay, enough traveling advice. ;)

Dana Point Yacht Club is literally on the harbor in Dana Point. The actual ceremony takes place on the quaint but lovely patio area. The ceremony site is filled with ocean views and a perfect place for any couple to say “I do”. For “romantics” of this bride and groom we sneaked away over to the beach next to the Ocean Institute which is about a 3 minute drive from the Dana Point Yacht Club. We had so much fun photographing this beautiful couple!! The beach photos are of course our favorite!! Check out this fun wedding below.

Falkner Winery Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Rainy Wedding Day

When you dream of your wedding you never dream that it will RAIN on your wedding day. I know, I said RAIN (the awful word every bride flinches at). This beautiful couple had the storm of all storms on their wedding day at Falkner Winery. They ended up getting married inside the barrel room and their wedding reception above in the Pinnacle Restaurant. You would never guess by the grace and pure joy that this couple showed that it was raining. They didn’t mind at all and we had the absolute best time stomping through the puddles and walking around in the rain capturing the most beautiful photos of this bride and groom. Please enjoy these amazing Falkner Winery wedding photos below.

Laos Wedding Ceremony - Lao Wedding

Seeing as how I have been photographing weddings over 4 years I have had the pleasure of taking part in many different ethnic wedding traditions. This was however our first Lao wedding ceremony, and it was so much fun!! This couple chose to have two wedding days. One they chose to celebrate and honor her heritage and celebrate in a traditional Laos wedding ceremony and the second day was more of a traditional American wedding day. We were so proud and glad to be a part of both of these beautiful days and are thrilled that we can now say that we are also Loa wedding photographers as well!!! Please check out this stunning Lao wedding ceremony below.

Lake Oak Meadows Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Rainy Wedding Day

Temecula weddings are a very popular location to get married with so many beautiful wineries and golf courses to choose from….a bride can’t go wrong. Temecula is known for sunny warm weather…except in February and March. Unfortunately for this couple rain was in the forecast. Our couple however made the best of it; we walked all over Lake Oak Meadows and still were able to capture all of the photos they wanted. When you’re a wedding photographer your job is to make things work. So when it’s raining or might rain we show up in rain boots, rain coats, and have two HUGE umbrellas to cover our couple and our equipment. I think despite all of the obstacles we faced for this Temecula wedding we were able to capture all of the special moments of their Lake Oak Meadows wedding day.

Coto Valley Country Club Wedding - Coto de Caza Wedding

Wedding Photography is my passion. I truly love being a wedding photographer. As much as I love traveling to Temecula, Palm Springs, etc.... it’s always so nice traveling ten minutes down Oso Parkway to get to a wedding. Coto Valley Country Club is tucked in the hills of Coto de Caza an exclusive housing community in Orange County. This venue was recently updated and the indoor ceremony site is filled with towering white walls and vast windows that allow ample amounts of natural light to fill the room. The venue has a bounty of lush green grass and trees for the best setting for “romantics” of the bride and groom. Coto Valley Country Club weddings are so beautiful and the “day of” coordinators are so helpful and on top of keeping your day running smooth. Please check out our wedding photos from this Coto Valley Country Club wedding in Orange County.

Woodhaven Country Club Wedding - Palm Desert Wedding

Photographing weddings in Palm Desert is a favorite. The Palm Springs vibe and warm sunny days make any wedding perfect. Because wedding photography is so crucial to your wedding I always suggest to my couples to schedule an engagement session so that we all have a chance to get to know each other before the big day. This couple chose to move forward with the engagement session at Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park and I am so glad we did because we had a blast! When the day of the wedding came these two were completely at ease the entire day knowing that we would capture everything. Their wedding day was absolutely perfect and we are feeling so grateful that we were their Orange County wedding photographers. Check out this glimpse of their wedding day below.

Corona Heritage Museum Wedding - Corona Wedding

When you get to work with your best friend/husband all day and work your dream job, life is GOOD! This day started out at The Riverside Art Museum where these two decided to have their “first look” (the “first look” is when the couple have a private moment alone to see each other for the first time). What a beautiful intimate location. We were able to get a lot of fun looks at this museum.

The actual wedding took place at Corona Heritage Park Museum, the perfect setting for a wedding. This intimate wedding venue is surrounded by a canopy of trees. This venue also offers rows of lush orange trees that gave the perfect setting for some one on one photos of this bride and groom. Please check out a small glimpse of their wedding day below.Video - Love is Cinema

Falkner Winery Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Air-force Wedding

At a winery weddings are ALWAYS beautiful and let me tell you Falkner winery is definitely no exception. If you love Temecula and want to get married at Winery check out Falkner winery. This venue has two ceremony and reception locations. This couple chose to get married on the top area in the garden. The garden offers a beautiful grassy area covered with lush trees and gorgeous plants that surround the space. Since the garden is above most of the property you are able to overlook all of the vineyards while you say “I do.” The garden also works as a ceremony and reception space so your guests don’t have far to travel once the ceremony is completed. What a stunning venue and such a gorgeous couple inside and out. We truly hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed taking them.

Kumar's Ranch Wedding - Corona

Southern California is known for its amazing weather, beautiful people, and stunning wedding venues... :) We as Southern Californians are so blessed with so many wedding locations to choose from. This hidden gem in Corona Ca. was the perfect spot for these two. What a wonderful day filled with so much love and beauty and of course dancing! The fun this bride and groom had during their first dance, father - daughter dance, and mother - son dance really set the stage for what the night had in store. The traditional “El Baile de la Vibora” or what many call the Mexican wedding dance or Mexican wedding snake dance was so fun! This dance had the entire room in an uproar watching as the ladies and then the gentleman weaved through the couple and around the ballroom. The band kept the night filled with men and women spinning around engrossing themselves into the salsa dance. We are so happy for this beautiful bride and groom. Their day was flawless and we are so glad that we could be their San Bernardino wedding photographers. Please enjoy some fun moments of this couple's beautiful Corona wedding day.

Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park - Engagement Session

The love they show for each other is insurmountable. This engagement session took place at one of our favorite locations Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park in Orange County. This location has so much beauty from the lush forest feel, to the stunning brush hills that drape to make stunning landscape photos. We had so much fun with this couple and loved that we had the opportunity to photograph their love. Wedding photography is our favorite but the day is even better when we have already worked with our couples. Its such a good feeling to build a relationship with your bride and groom as their wedding photographer before their wedding day. Congratulations on tying the knot you two!

Christ Community Church Elopement Wedding

Aren’t weddings magical? Most girls dream about their prince charming and of course the day they marry him. Some brides dream of puffy dresses, some of horse drawn carriages, and others of a Halloween wedding. This stunning bride found her prince charming in England. These two met at a friends wedding became best friends and eventually dated for several years. He proposed to her on Christmas in front of their closest family and friends. The true honest love these two share for one another is seen by all and purely beautiful. This brides dream wedding was at Christ Community Church where her father is the pastor. She had dreams of her father marrying her and their families surrounding them. The wedding was gorgeous and just the perfect amount of everything. We truly could not be happier for these two. Congratulations we are so honored that we got to be a part of your perfect day. Thank you for letting us be your Orange county wedding photographers.

Engagement Photos @ California Scenario - Costa Mesa

Engagement photography sessions are so important to have. This time before the wedding allows your wedding photographer the chance to get to know you and your fiancé. Feeling comfortable with your wedding photographer is crucial since you will be with your wedding photographers most of the day. Wedding photography and wedding videography will be your two main vendors throughout your wedding day that you will see the the most.

We are thrilled that this super fun couple chose a new engagement session location called California Scenario in Costa Mesa. Such a beautiful hidden gem that has a lot of different style choices to chose from. Please check out their gallery of some of our favorite engagement photos of these two.

Thee Olde Chapel Wedding, Riverside

Our bride got ready at her family home where we captured her and her bridesmaids having a blast getting ready for her big day. We loved capturing these girls in their matching outfits! After photographing these lovely ladies we headed over to photograph some awesome moments with the guys. This groom and his groomsmen were nothing but jokes and laughs. Good friends are hard to come by but it’s clear this bride and groom found them. :) After photographing some fun moments of this groom with his guys, it was time to head the to the chapel.

If you're in search of an old world enchanting chapel, check out Thee Olde Chapel in Riverside, California. This chapel gives off such a romantic warm feel that’s absolutely perfect for a wedding. While it’s just moments before the wedding it’s time for this gorgeous bride to put on her wedding dress. While her mom and maid of honor helped zip her up, all the bridesmaids had tears in their eyes. To say this bride was stunning in her dress would be an understatement. She was beautiful and glowing in her long fitted wedding gown. With the bride all dressed and ready it’s time for this couple to say "I do." The wedding was perfect and filled with laughs, tears, and special moments to treasure forever. After the wedding we photographed the family, bridal party together, and of course captured some romantic photos of just the bride and groom.

The wedding reception was held in the backyard of the bride’s family home. This backyard was gorgeous and the perfect size for this intimate wedding reception. One of the best parts about having a backyard wedding reception is that you can do whatever you want to your own backyard. You can have actual candles lit, you can bring your own cake and serve whatever food you would like, etc. We love backyard weddings and the special intimate feel that they bring to a wedding day. This wedding reception was filled with awesome dance moves, laughs, and really tasty food. This was one perfect night filled with the couple doing a grand exit through a tunnel of all their closest friends and family and driving off into the night in a limo. 

We are so happy for these two newlyweds and know that they will have a lifetime of happiness together and hopefully lots have adorable babies!! Congratulations to the bride and groom and thank you for choosing us us to be your Orange County Wedding Photographers.

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.
