Soka University, Tivoli Terrace Wedding

Brittney + Joe

Brittney and Joe’s Tivoli Terrace wedding in Laguna Beach was charming and sweet. This darling couple took their family and wedding party over to Soka University for the couple’s first look, family and wedding party pictures prior to their evening ceremony at Tivoli Terrace. The day was ideal with a picture perfect overcast sky which we appreciated as it had been raining all week so we cherished the good weather. Soka University is gorgeous. The location made for incredible wedding photos. Then we headed over to the quaint hidden gem of Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach. It is a lovely venue for a wedding and reception.
Brittney and Joe have the sweetest baby girl who is the center of their world and they vowed to love her and one another for the rest of their life. It was lovely to be part of this couple’s wedding celebration. Brittnay is an incredible baker and she made the cutest mini cupcakes which made up the seating chart. The whole wedding had sweets galore which all of the kiddos loved. My awesome second shooter Morgan and I truly enjoyed photographing this wedding and we wish this couple all the love in the world.
Here is a sneak peak into the day.

Temecula Creek Inn Wedding

Madison + Joe

This Halloween wedding at Temecula Creek Inn will have you swooning. It was decorated with pumpkins galore, there was a large table of yummy sweets to fill your Halloween sweet tooth! The entire event was spectacular. There was even a big surprise that was revealed with the ode to Phantom of the Opera complete with masks and a choreographed dance by the bride and groom to the theme song from the play that was just riveting. Everyone loved the “funkins”, the flowers and the bride’s fabulous dress, swoon… the back of that dresswas to die for. Madison and Joe thought of every detail to make this Temecula Creeek Inn Hallowed wedding perfect. There was even an old time TV playing old horror movies which were the hit of the night and all the fantastic furniture inside the Temecula Creek Inn’s famous Stonehouse was so charming. Mark and I loved working with Madison and Joe and creating such gorgeous wedding photos for them. They are so sweet and so full of love and life and we look forward to watching their future grow. A special thanks to Celebrations by Di for referring us to this wonderful couple. We loved working with Diana Ross and her team, they are truly the best! We hope this couple Tangos their way into the future with many little phantoms of their own.

Padua Hills Wedding

Devon + Gerard

We kicked off 2016 with this gorgeous Padua Hills Theatre wedding. Devon and Gerard met at work and fell madly in love. They exchanged vows at a gorgeous evening wedding ceremony in the hills of Claremont at the historic Padua Hills Theatre. Their wedding planner Linsey helped them create their magical wedding they had dreamed of and each and every detail was beautiful. It was a joy to witness Devon and Gerard celebrate their marriage with their closest family and friends.
My team and I love working with Padua Hills Theatre, featuring Chantrelles Catering. We have worked with them for over 20 years and they never disappoint to provide an extraordinary experience to their clients.
We wish Devon and Gerard so much love and look forward to watching their family grow. Here is a look into their Padua Hills wedding day. Enjoy. xo
