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...

St. Denis Catholic Church & Doubletree by Hilton Claremont Wedding

Yolanda & Adrian

Yolanda and Adrian were the sweetest couple. The moment that Yolanda and I met we instantly connected. I knew her dream wedding to Adrain was going to be perfect. The beautiful ceremony was held at St. Denis Catholic Church in Diamond Bar. This church is stunning. I always enjoy photographing weddings at St. Denis. The architecture is so beautiful and the photos always turn out amazing.

Next we headed off to the Double Tree By Hilton Claremont for the fun filled reception complete with horse and carriage rides of the guests during the cocktail hour. The guests enjoyed this very special treat.

The evening at the Doubletree By Hilton Claremont was filled dancing, food and friends. The guests loved the decadent candy table and the  gorgeous cinderella cake.

Yolanda and Adrian danced the night away and truly had the time of their life. I wish them so much happiness and joy.

Jennifer + Michael

Oh Sweet Pea Ranch, you are indeed sweet. I love photographing weddings at this darling red barn venue in Upland. Tess the owner is the most kind hearted woman you will ever meet and she makes your wedding day a dream. Jennifer and Michael had their gorgeous wedding at Sweet Pea Ranch last Fall and my amazing associate photographers Morgan and Leanna did the best job photographing each and every detail.
Jennifer and Michael have the greatest love for one another and their special bond shined through in their wedding at Sweet Pea Ranch in Upland, Ca. photos.
They had their ceremony on the front lawn of this quaint Upland venue and then their guests had a delicious meal inside the big red barn. The s’mores out by the fire were a big hit and don’t forget about the awesome sweet table. Jennifer and Michael danced the night away under the stars and this Sweet Pea Ranch wedding was simply perfect. Here are some photos to show you all of the love that went on this day. xo

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.

Doubletree by Claremont Wedding

Briana + Eric

This Doubletree by Hilton Claremont wedding was so much fun. Briana and Eric are so sweet. I fell in love with Briana the moment I met her. That smile of hers just melts your heart and speaking of hearts, Briana has the biggest heart and I know that is why Eric fell head over heels in love with her. This couple chose one of my favorite Claremont venues to hold their wedding and reception. The Doubletree by Hilton Claremont has everything you need to have an amazing wedding experience. The courtyard and fountain are beautiful for your ceremony and the banquet rooms are spacious and well desinged. Bonus you get to have the amazing Doubletree staff to handle all of your needs. I love working with and being part of the Doubletree by Hilton Claremont team. Briana and Eric’s fall wedding was gorgeous. The weather was perfect and everyone had a blast. Take a peak into the day.

Mission Hills Country Club in Palm Desert is a gorgeous wedding venue. Veronica and Nick fell met and fell in love on the golf course so it was only natural that they would get married at a country club and Mission Hills was the perfect fit. Veronica and Nick are the sweetest couple. They compliment one another perfectly and they just look amazing together. They were so fun to work with and Mark and I loved photographing both their engagement photos as well as their Mission Hills Country Club wedding. The ceremony was held overlooking the lake and evening reception was inside the club.
