Wedgewood weddings are always beautiful. We had the pleasure of photographing these two cuties at Wedgewood Meniffee Lake. This beautiful couple officially tied the knot with their adorable son. The true love these two have for one another is so pure and was amazing to watch. We had such a blast walking all around the Wedgewood property during their “romantics”. We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from their beautiful day below.
An engagement session at McDonald’s?! I know….fun right?! I love when my couples have fun and have “original” ideas for their engagement session. We had too much fun teasing around while all the guests at McDonald’s stared….wondering what we were doing! 😂
Our next location was beautiful and a bit of a secret spot….Laguna Niguel Regional Park. You would never know driving by on La Paz that tucked away is a stunning park with views for days. We were lucky enough to have all lush green fields for our engagement session giving us some stunning photos. Hope you enjoy some of our favorites from the day below.
Montage Laguna Beach never disappoints! This is one of our favorite engagement session locations. Beach engagement sessions are a must when you grow up in SoCal and your hubby to be is from Texas. These two had so much fun…they even did a rendition of the famous lift from Dirty Dancing! So happy for these two to be saying “I do” at the Temecula Creek Inn wedding venue. It is always a blast working at Stone House at Temecula Creek Inn. Please enjoy some of our favorites from this session.
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.
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.
Victoria state beach in Laguna Beach is a favorite amongst the tourists since within this little beach. There is a very old Pirate tower! I know that is SUPER RAD....a PIRATE TOWER!! SAY WHAT?! It’s true and we love photographing there because of it and our couples love it two! These two cuties are getting hitched this year at Serendipity Gardens in Oak Glen!!! We are so excited to work at this STUNNING wedding venue!! Do yourself a favor and check out Serendipity Gardens as YOUR wedding venue. ;) Look out below for this super fun engagement session in Laguna beach.
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.
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

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.
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.
Our bride got ready at her family home where we captured her and her bridesmaids having a blast getting ready for her big day. We loved capturing these girls in their matching outfits! After photographing these lovely ladies we headed over to photograph some awesome moments with the guys. This groom and his groomsmen were nothing but jokes and laughs. Good friends are hard to come by but it’s clear this bride and groom found them. :) After photographing some fun moments of this groom with his guys, it was time to head the to the chapel.
If you're in search of an old world enchanting chapel, check out Thee Olde Chapel in Riverside, California. This chapel gives off such a romantic warm feel that’s absolutely perfect for a wedding. While it’s just moments before the wedding it’s time for this gorgeous bride to put on her wedding dress. While her mom and maid of honor helped zip her up, all the bridesmaids had tears in their eyes. To say this bride was stunning in her dress would be an understatement. She was beautiful and glowing in her long fitted wedding gown. With the bride all dressed and ready it’s time for this couple to say "I do." The wedding was perfect and filled with laughs, tears, and special moments to treasure forever. After the wedding we photographed the family, bridal party together, and of course captured some romantic photos of just the bride and groom.
The wedding reception was held in the backyard of the bride’s family home. This backyard was gorgeous and the perfect size for this intimate wedding reception. One of the best parts about having a backyard wedding reception is that you can do whatever you want to your own backyard. You can have actual candles lit, you can bring your own cake and serve whatever food you would like, etc. We love backyard weddings and the special intimate feel that they bring to a wedding day. This wedding reception was filled with awesome dance moves, laughs, and really tasty food. This was one perfect night filled with the couple doing a grand exit through a tunnel of all their closest friends and family and driving off into the night in a limo.
We are so happy for these two newlyweds and know that they will have a lifetime of happiness together and hopefully lots have adorable babies!! Congratulations to the bride and groom and thank you for choosing us us to be your Orange County Wedding Photographers.

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.

This wedding is why we became wedding photographers. The pure love that this bride and groom show for each other is what most people search a lifetime for. Rancho El Toro by Elegancia Events is a stunning wedding venue, snuggled in a beautifully secluded area of Corona. This was our first time photographing a wedding at this venue, we had an absolute blast finding interesting and fabulous location's to do romantic photos with this couple. At one point we ended up behind the reception venue in what looked like an enchanted field. An absolute beautiful location and couple.
This wedding was perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. The bride was slightly nervous but you saw those nerves flow away as she glided down the aisle to the man of her dreams. She has loved her groom since she was 15, they were high school sweethearts. The ceremony was beautiful and sentimental there were plenty of happy tears. The reception was filled fun and laughter as everyone danced the night away.
We are so happy for this adorable couple and truly think their love will last forever. Thank you for choosing us to be your Southern California wedding photographers.

This gorgeous Wedgewood wedding was definitely one for the books. Elizabeth and Travis chose to get married at their local church. Elizabeth was running a smidgen late so when we were finally able to meet our blushing bride she was nervous and stressed. We did our best to calm her nerves, but as it is at so many weddings, once her wedding dress went on not only did she look amazing (check out that stunning dress) but her nerves ceased. She was ready to see the man of her dreams and have her grandfather walk her down the aisle. As the bride glided so gracefully down the aisle with her grandpa everyone stood and watched in awe of how stunning she looked. When she finally made it to her groom she took his hands and their wedding ceremony began.
The ceremony was beautiful and filled with perfect prayers and love. Once the ceremony was over everyone headed over to the Sierra la Verne Wedgewood wedding venue for some fun. We were able to take this beautiful couple out onto the golf course for their "romantic" photos. We walked around the golf course capturing amazing photos filled with love. Along the way we were able to see some ducks and geese that kept us on our toes (I'm pretty scared of geese, so I was concerned). The reception went on as the guests danced the night away and truly celebrated this new married couple. Congratulations to the couple, we loved being your wedding photographers.

We love being Orange County wedding photographers but we also love getting the opportunity to photograph weddings outside of Orange County. This beautiful wedding was at The Federal Bar in Long Beach CA (such a fun and unique wedding venue, definitely a great location.....but more on the venue later). We arrived at the lovely Hyatt Hotel in Long Beach of course to meet our beautiful bride and her brides-man and bridesmaid. She was finishing up with her makeup and the reality of the day was beginning to sink in. Today was the day she was to be married to the man of her dreams. The guy who was always in her corner and was always taller then her (a plus in her book). As the time came closer to head to the venue, it was time for her to put her wedding dress on (that’s generally the moment our brides start getting more nervous and anxious). Her friends all told her how stunning she looked in her wedding dress and with her super awesome top hat. Yes, she wore a top hat! This was a first for us but this bride rocked it out and she looked just gorgeous and super authentic. It was time for us to leave and head to the venue.
Upon our arrival at The Federal Bar in Long Beach, we gasped at the sureal architecture that had been maintained so well over the years. This wedding was meant to have a little 50's flair, and this venue helped make that possible. When you walk into The Federal Bar you are immersed with tall ceilings, dark ageless wood walls, and the largest most glamorous chandeliers you've probably ever seen. The aged beauty doesn’t stop in the down stairs area they have a unique metal vault big enough to fit 10-15 people, and a timeless saloon for the bridal party to prepare and take photos before the wedding.
The wedding is moments away from beginning, all the guests are seated and anxiously awaiting for the wedding to begin. The doors open and out walks the groom to an awesome rock song as he flashes the rock on symbol down the aisle. At last, it’s the brides moment to walk down the aisle with her father by her side to the man she will spend the rest of her life with. As she glided down the aisle with her father by her side everyone stood with pure joy at the beautiful moment they were witnessing as these two were about to become husband and wife. The ceremony was short and sweet filled with heart felt moments and loving stories shared about the couple. The officiant announces that Neil may kiss his bride and everyone erupts with happiness and love. They are finally married!
The rest of the evening was spent enjoying exquisite drinks and delicious food. The dancing opened shortly after dinner and our newlyweds danced the night away in each other’s arms celebrating their new life together, with their closest friends and family. We are so thrilled we were able to share in Jordan and Neil’s wedding day. We love being wedding photographers and always wish our couples a love to last a lifetime.
When you fall in love and marry “your person”, your entire life changes. Two families become one and you have vowed to spend the rest of your life with someone. These two have been husband and wife for several years now and have still managed to keep their spark alive. Sebastian couldn't keep his hands off of her. Which made for some amazing romantic photos on the beach. Even if being a bride and groom has come and gone for you, it's still truly important to get photos of you and your spouse. Just because you're married doesn't mean you two can't still document your love through photographs. We are so happy that these two allowed us to photograph their continuing love story. We wish you both the best love of all. <3
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.
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!!
These two are so deeply in love and so excited to finally become husband and wife! I had the best time photographing these two. But the love that these two have for each other is absolutely adorable. For those of you that don't know when you first get engaged all of these mixed emotions occur and can become overwhelming at times....but for this power couple they weren't stressed at all. They had planned out a majority of their wedding and they were still about 10 months away. I was truly impressed....I won't lie my husband and I were quite stressed during those engagement months. The pressure of having "THE PERFECT WEDDING" can make even the perfect couple a little dingy. But at the end of the day every wedding is perfect in their own special way. We can not wait to watch these two say "I do" on the best day of their lives.
P.s. If your ever in search of a gorgeous place to take family photos, engagement photos, etc. O'Neill Regional Park in Trabuco Canyon is so gorgeous and a true treasure.
