Wedding at Eagle Glen Golf Course in Corona, CA – Tiffany and Nick

This was such a fantastic wedding! It was my first time shooting at Eagle Glen Golf Course and let me tell you it has some scenic views! The whole day seemed to flow effortlessly and  it was fun to see how excited Tiffany and Nick were to be getting married. The weather (despite threats of rain) was perfect, everything was running on time, and the entire day was full of fantastic people who were excited to celebrate Tiffany and Nick’s big day. While we got some extremely fun Bridal Party and Family portraits, I think my favorite part of the day was loading up on the back of a golf cart and trekking off into the outer regions of the golf course for some romatic pics with just Tiffany and Nick. I may have been juggling camera’s and light stands while holding on for dear life as we scaled steep hills and rounded corners, but it was so much fun and we were able to get some fantastic shots. Tiffany’s gorgeous dress was made by Maggie Sottero, bridesmaids dresses by J. Crew, and the day’s DJ was Fred Davis of Sound Garden Productions (he was fantastic to work with so be sure to check him out).  Thanks to Tiffany and Nick for making this such an incredible experience and for having me as a part of your day. Enjoy!

Nativity Catholic Church/Long Beach Hilton – Rachelle and Patrick’s Wedding

Ok, so this may have been one of the most fun weddings I have ever been to! Rachelle and Pat are such a fun couple.  Get them in a room (or party bus!) with all of their friends and family and you’re in for a real treat! We started and ended the day at the Long Beach Hilton for getting ready pics and the reception and it was a gorgeous venue! The reception hall was absolutely stunning. They held their ceremony at Nativity Catholic Church in Torrance and from there we headed out to Lighthouse/Shoreline Park in Long Beach for some fun pics in the park. But I have to say I think my favorite parts of the day were when we all crammed into a party bus for some cruising around the town! Rachelle and Pat were so excited and they made it clear that this day was about having fun and celebrating their new life together. And celebrate they did! Here are some samples from the day! Also be sure to check out their crazy fun engagement photos here.

The Castaway – Burbank, CA., Samantha and Brian

Brian and Samantha are probably two of the nicest people I have ever met and spending time with them just makes you feel good about, well…everything! I feel like I have gotten to know them fairly well since their engagement shoot and I find the more time I spend with them the more I realize they are truly the real deal. They truly love and respect each other, but on top of all of that they make each other laugh and you can tell they really cherish every moment they have together. We started the day off at the Residence Inn Burbank for some getting ready pics as well as for the first look photos. Samantha’s dress was absolutely stunning and I highly recommend checking out her designer Maggie Sottero if you are searching for your gown Then we headed off to a nearby park for some Bridal Party portraits. We were accompanied by Joe of Today’s The Day Weddings. He is by far one of my favorite videographers to work with. He’s just amazing at what he does, on top of which he is such a great guy to be around! From there it was off to the Castaway Restaurant for the ceremony and reception. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with a view, look no further! It was a gorgeous sunset wedding and the entire evening was filled with love and excitement from all of the enthusiastic friends and family there to show Brian and Samantha their love and support. The day was coordinated by Cheryl of Social Frog Designs and she had everything running seamlessly and their DJ Barry Lamster is a true professional. Gorgeous bouquets and arrangements by Flowers by Michael. So thanks to everyone for an amazing day!

The Veranda at Green River Golf Club, Corona, CA – Tannel and Felix

Believe it or not I actually shot this wedding on my anniversary! September 3rd! Don’t worry, my wife and I had a very nice weekend getaway to Solvang to celebrate our 4 years of marriage and we had an amazing time. But enough about me! This wedding was all about Tannel and Felix and I mean that. They have to have been one of the most fun couple’s I have shot in awhile. Extremely nice and both of them are so full of life and energy it just really made the day unique and special to them. It was easy to tell where they got their enthusiasm from once their family and friends began to arrive. Great group of people! One of the fun details I remember about the day was Tannel and the Bridesmaids changing into Converse/Chucks post ceremony. So much fun! They held their wedding at the Green River Golf Course aka The Veranda at Green River, which I shot earlier this year for Rachel and Jeremy’s wedding. It is a beautiful venue. Extremely scenic and the staff is a delight to work with. I definitely recommend them! Plus they have a fantastic spot for romantic shots that features a small pond and some fantastic trees. I love this location and I can’t wait for the next one!

Moss Point Beach, Laguna Ca – Brian and Samantha Engagement Session

What a fun day this was! I am shooting Brian and Samantha’s wedding at the Castaway Restaurant in Burbank this fall and after shooting their engagement session I can’t wait for their wedding! They brought their cruisers down to the beach for some fun shots around Laguna Beach and then we were able to get some really fun romantic shots overlooking Moss Point beach. I go to play around with some fun toys as well (like the Lensbaby). It was great watching them interact, they have so much fun with each other and you can really tell they are crazy about each other. I loved being able to spend the day with them and I am looking forward to spending more time with them at the wedding!

Ponte Winery, Temecula Ca. – Brad and Gladys

Ponte Winery is a beautiful family estate winery in the heart of Temecula wine country. Not only do they have fantastic wines, but their location is stunning and their staff is extremely friendly and easy going! Tori, their onsite coordinator, was extremely helpful and fun to be around and she kept their day flowing effortlessly. I shot Brad and Gladys’ engagement session there a few months back and we had so much fun that day that I knew that their wedding was going to be an amazing experience. And it was! Gladys selected a beautiful color scheme that really popped when set against the lush greens of the vineyard and it’s surroundings. Both Brad and Gladys are two of the kindest and warm hearted people I have worked with and it was an absolute delight to be a part of their day. Enjoy!

Doubletree Anaheim Hotel and Old Town Orange, CA – Sophia and John’s Wedding

Everything about this wedding I loved! From the colors to the locations, there wasn’t anything about it that I didn’t like. And that includes Sophia and John! I had so much fun getting to know the both of them as their wedding approached. Sophia and I even spent quite a few hours trying to find some good locations for the wedding portraits. We finally decided on the Circle in Old Town Orange. I love this spot. It’s like a getting sent back 50 years into the past. So much fun. And the Doubletree Hotel Anaheim was a fantastic location for their ceremony. They have a beautiful little courtyard and very nice ballrooms. the staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it! Aside from the locations and the couple one of the best parts about the wedding was meeting their videographer, Joseph from Today’s The Day Weddings. He was fantastic to work with. Very friendly and considerate. I feel that we worked really well together. He does fantastic work and if you have not had a chance to look at his work or know that you are in need of a videographer then please check him out! Sophia’s flowers were absolutely beautiful. I loved the colors and the arrangement. I did not get a chance to meet the florist personally but from what I have seen I would say be sure to check her out. Her company is Flowers by Cina. All in all it was a beautiful day and I was very proud to be a part of it.
