Leoness Cellars Wedding - Leoness Winery - Temecula Winery Wedding

Lenoness

Cellars

has such an incredible view.. see for yourself.

Still dreaming about this perfect wedding. These two are so great together. He was so so excited to see his soon to be wife. The first look could not have come soon enough for him. Once she saw him for the first time all of the nerves went away. They were just ready to get married… to say “I do”.

Leoness Cellars is such a great wedding venue. The ceremony site is on point and totally swoon worthy with vineyard and mountain views. What a perfect spot to commit your life to “your person”. The reception location is just as gorgeous. An intimate room with wine barrels to give that romantic feel. The perfect spot to dance the night away and since it’s inside you don’t have to worry about being too chilly.

From a photographer’s stand point you really can’t go wrong with Leoness Cellars…..so many beautiful locations to photograph the couple, bridal party, and family. Check out some of our favorites from this couple’s perfect day.

The Oaks Club at Valencia Wedding -

We had the best day celebrating the love these to have for one another. What a stunning wedding day these two had. The Oaks Cub at Valencia is truly a beautiful wedding venue. Since this venue is a golf course the grounds are vast and lush and even includes a lake! As their wedding photographers we took advantage of it all… the venue supplied us all with golf carts so that the couple was able to have photos taken all over the grounds! TIP ALERT - ask your venue if you can borrow a golf cart for your romantics…..if you’re getting married in California chances are your wedding day will be warm and you will appreciate as little walking as possible on the big day. Trust me! ;)

Did anyone else notice that AMAZING wedding bouquet?! Well The Exotic Green Garden killed it in my opinion. If any of you are still searching for a florist or rental company check them out. I will attach their website in this blog. They did a stellar job!!

Lake Oak Meadows Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Rainy Wedding Day

This Lake Oak Meadows wedding gave us all the feels! Rain and all it didn’t matter...these two love birds had a blast! 

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!

Wedding at Venue by Three Petals - Huntington Beach Wedding

Venue by Three Petals is a beautiful venue filled with long white walls lined with candles and let us not forget the stunning chandelier with hundreds of white flowers covering it. What a dreamy wedding day! Let’s also not forget the amazing vendors we had the pleasure of working with! Sparkling Soirées....the owner Nicolette is amazing and on top of the day, and of course the amazing Love is Cinema the owner (and my stud of a husband Brian) is MORE than talented! This Orange County wedding definitely had the DREAM team. Please check out some of our favorite wedding photos from this Orange County Wedding.

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.

Montage Laguna Beach Engagement Photos - Engagement Photographer

Such a gorgeous engagement session at Montage Laguna beach! My job as an Orange County wedding photographer and engagement photographer is to guide my couples into posing positions and of course get them giggling. I have always been blessed with couples that are so CLEARLY in love with each other but these two!!! OMG! These two took little to no guidance at all! They were just naturally this adorable! I had so much fun capturing their love and couldn’t wait for these two to say “I do” at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula. Check out this ADORABLE couples engagement session 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

Queen Mary Wedding - Long Beach Wedding

These two love birds fell in love 10 years ago. When he finally proposed she said “its about time!” This bride and groom were a complete hoot and laughed and cried the entire ceremony. We loved working on The Queen Mary such a historic place filled with so many memories. Wedding photography really allows us to see the most beautiful places and this ship was definitely  one of them. Congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for choosing us to be your southern California wedding photographers.

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.

The Riviera Hotel Wedding - Palm Springs - Star Wars Wedding

It has been far too long since I have taken some time to continue our blog...so here it is! This wedding was actually May 4th, 2018; so many amazing things have changed for The Everlasting Photo since this wedding. I can't help but flash back. Since this wedding we have updated our cameras and equipment, we have a larger staff, now adding Dillon to our team, and we have just improved our style as a whole. Looking back on a wedding that we have had the honor of photographing is such a surreal experience and we are so elated to have the privilege to continue our dream of being wedding photographers. This Palm Springs wedding was the perfect day. These two clearly are hopelessly in love with each other and are obviously fabulous since they chose to get married on May 4th. This wedding was "Beauty and the Beast" themed for her and "May the 4th be with you" themed (Star Wars) for them both! We had the best time being this couple's wedding photographers. We know that their love will last a lifetime.

The Red Horse Barn Wedding - Huntington Beach, Ca

Being a wedding photographer has always been a dream of mine. Since I was 14 years old I loved taking photos. BEFORE cellphone selfies and before cameras that were so easily accessible as they are today, I loved photography. As I grew up and became an adult I have worked many different jobs from babysitting little ones, to helping set up weddings, to being a restaurant manager, and even working at a desk all day retrieving money for someone else’s company. During my last and final “job”, my husband (he was my fiancé at the time) looked at me and said, “honey why don’t you do what you love”. My amazing husband helped build me the confidence to quit my day to day job to start my own photography company and to be able to do what I love. I am one lucky lady (fyi if you're in need of a videographer my husband Brian is the BEST)! Check out his website - Love is Cinema :) Becoming a wedding photographer has given me such great joy. I LOVE all of my couples and am truly honored that I get to share a special part in their love story. This story leads me to this AMAZING couple! The love and laughter these two showed for each other was truly perfect. The Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach is just beautiful. Tucked into the heart of Huntington Beach this wedding venue is filled with trees and horses...a perfect spot for “romantics.” The venue is the perfect size and easily accessible to all guests. We truly had the best time at this wedding. You could tell this couple put in so much work to see to it that all those little wedding details were just right. Thank you to this couple for allowing us to be their Orange County wedding photographers.

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.
