Strawberry Farms Golf Club Wedding Pictures// Elizabeth + Terry

Elizabeth + Terry Married at Strawberry Farms Golf Club June 2017

Elizabeth and Terry have had the sweetest love story. When Elizabeth met Terry at the young age of 14 she declared she was going to marry him and over a decade later her wedding dream came true. They both love the outdoors and the country so the moment they viewed the incredible wedding venue of Strawberry Farms Golf Club they knew this was the place to have their ceremony and reception. The day was filled with so much love. Elizabeth was glowing from all of the love she had inside and Terry could not stop smiling and looking at his beautiful bride. This couple is so in love and it is so sweet to witness.

Strawberry Farms is such a magical place for a wedding. It is tucked back in the hills of Orange County in the city of Irvine. You would never guess that a turn off of a busy street would take you down the most charming road lined with rose bushes and beautiful bougonvillas. It is so charming. The best part is when you see the cutest rustic red barn at the end of the street. The red barn is so unique and the only barn venue of its kind in Orange County. Our team absolutely loves working with Strawberry Farms Golf Club and all of their incredible clients.

Elizabeth and Terry enjoyed their magical wedding ceremony and their fun filled reception. All of the guest enjoyed drinking and eating fine food and beverages all evening long. This Strawberry Farms wedding was one of the best of the summer. 

 After the reception this sweet couple took a road trip though Vegas and onto their new home in Idaho where they will cultivate their love and start a family. We wish you so much love. xo

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...

JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa Wedding Photos

Shannon + Eric

Shannon + Eric dreamed of their destination wedding in the desert of California for years. Coming from Chicago, they look forward to the heat of the Desert. They both enjoy the sunny days out by the pool and the warm evenings to relax and reminisce about their day. They chose one of Palm Desert most pristine venues to host their wedding. The JW Marriott Desert Springs resort and Spa is the deserts most tranquil oasis. The wedding was held on the pointe with mountain views and the sparkling lake that surrounds the property. It truly is a gorgeous setting for a destination wedding. Desert Springs Resort and Spa sure does know how to spoil it’s wedding guests. They have hand passed hordourves and chilled champagne served to the guests right after the ceremony. The reception was held in the Wood Room which is a hidden gem just off of the Rockwood Grill. 

Shannon and Eric celebrated the evening with their family and friends listening to amazing music and eating 5 star food. They had the time of their life and I was so thankful to be a part of their Palm Desert wedding. I wish them all the love in the world.

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.

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.

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.

Crystal Cove Wedding

Lisa + Tim

Crystal Cove is truly a hidden wedding venue gem. I was thrilled when Lisa and Tim told me the were planning on having their wedding at Crystal Cove State Park. I love the cute beach cottages and the ocean view is breathtaking. The beach comber cafe handles the catering so you know the food is out of this world. Lisa and Tim are the sweetest couple. Mark and I adored working with them. Both their engagement and wedding photos were so much fun and we loved getting to know them better. Check out their gorgeous photos from their Crystal Cove wedding last Summer. It was the hottest day of the entire summer but it was a blast, that is for sure!
