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? 💕

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.

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.

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.

Kimberly Crest House and Gardens Wedding & The Mitten Building Wedding

Wedding Photography is a one of a kind job. We have the honor of seeing our couples fall in love all over again as the say "I do." This wedding was especially dreamy. The pure elegance of this venue makes this place one of our favorite places. This beautiful couple picked the perfect place to get married. Kimberly Crest House & Gardens is a one of a kind location filled with trees that could touch the sky and enchanting architecture all in one which makes for stunning wedding photos. 

Once these two became husband and wife everyone headed to the wedding reception which took place at The Mitten Building. The Mitten Building is filled with red brick that adds warmth to the room with the added touches of the couple this venue was the perfect reception site. We are so glad we could be their Riverside wedding photographers. We wish these two nothing but the best and a long happy marriage together.

Krystal & Josh at Pearl Beach in Laguna Beach

What a fun couple! These two were a blast to work with! When they arrived on location these two had a large duffle bag. We weren't quite sure why until Krystal smiled and said we brought a ton of outfit changes. :) We were thrilled to hear this! It makes our job so much more fun to try different styles based on clothing. This obviously made our job of being a couples' photographer easier because they are a good looking couple! But the amount of giggling, smiling, and obviously love they showed for each other really show in these photographs.

Being an Orange County wedding photographer is such a rewarding job. Not only do we have the privilege of capturing the happiest moments of a couples life (their wedding day), but we also get to capture their love before the wedding while they are engaged. Being engaged is such an amazing, exciting, stressful (just because planning a wedding is overwhelming), and of course life changing time in a couple's life. We have the joy and privilege of capturing the giggles, smiles, and cuddles of our couples before they say "I do".

When our couples reserve our services for their engagement session and wedding day, our goal is to be a support system. We are proud to say we have experience in the wedding industry and we have AMAZING vendors that we work with. We are always available whether by text, phone call, or email for any questions or concerns. We pride ourselves in going above and beyond for our brides and grooms because we love what we do. We believe our Orange County wedding photography speaks for its self.

 

Elopement Idyllwild Wedding

When we are chosen to be someone's wedding photographer, we consider it to be the ultimate compliment. We know that we have a lot of competition in the wedding photography industry (especially in the Orange County area) and we know there are a ton of amazing photographers. We feel it comes down to, obviously our photos, but also the connection that we are able to form with our clients. These two were like our long lost friends. This bride and groom were way too much fun to work with and we couldn't be happier to be a part of their wedding day. 

When we arrived at the venue we immediately fell in LOVE. To say we had a million locations to take romantic pictures would be an understatement. Once we looked around for a bit, we met up with our beautiful bride Valerie, in a quant cabin in the woods. We had a blast photographing her getting all done up and taking her into the field to photograph her by herself. :)

Then it was time for the first look. The bride and groom were both a ball of nerves but both felt that they would calm down once they could see each other. The first look was a complete success; he was emotional seeing his gorgeous bride for the first time and we had a wonderful time capturing that serene moment.

Capturing romantics before the actual ceremony is always a good idea. It gives the bride and groom an opportunity to calm their nerves and just have a moment together. This couple was game for any and all of our photo ideas. We had this awesome bride traipsing around in her wedding dress and sandals all over the forest. But the results were totally worth it. So many awesome nature photos for this couple which was exactly what they were hoping to have. They are both avid hikers and really enjoy the outdoors. 

The ceremony was intimate and romantic. You could just feel their love for one another...there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to be their Orange County wedding photographers. We know that this couple will last a lifetime and then some. Congratulations!!
