David & Lisa’s Wedding

Posted on October 31, 2009

Davis & Lisa’s wedding was at the beautiful Monteleone Meadows. It was a small intimate wedding with only close family and friends. I can’t even describe how in love David and Lisa are. When I first met with them, I seriously didn’t want to leave! I could have sat there and talked to them all day :} They are such amazing people and their love just radiated out of them.

Jerry & Charissa’s Wedding

Posted on October 9, 2009

Jerry and Charissa were such an easy couple to work with. The only request they had for me was to get some photos of them in front of the fire truck. That’s it? YEP!

Charissa was the most relaxed bride I have ever seen. Even though we were behind schedule she was calm and enjoying every moment. Might I add that she was STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I really couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding. I knew Charissa was going to look perfect in her wedding dress. Which she did of course!

Even though there were a few things that happened throughout the night that weren’t planned. Joe… I mean Jerry (if you were at the wedding you know what I mean) and Charissa were so good about everything. They enjoyed themselves the entire time :)

Surprise!

Posted on October 9, 2009

Breanna REALLY wanted to do a trash the dress shoot. She emailed me a few times asking about it and she tried to make it work. Unfortunately things happened and she decided that she wouldn’t be able to do the shoot. Some time later Aaron called and told me that he knew how much it meant to Breanna and he wanted to surprise her with the shoot as a wedding gift. How awesome is that! I was so excited! I wanted to call Breanna right away and start planning it. Of course I couldn’t :(  Aaron wasn’t going to tell her until their wedding night. It was so hard not to say anything to Breanna. I knew I would see her two days after their wedding but she didn’t :)

So…we headed down to Huntington Beach for the shoot. Breanna didn’t want to do any trashing which was perfectly fine with me. This beach was where they got engaged so it meant a lot to them. It was so nice to get photos of them so relaxed and in love :)

They went to Ruby’s right before Aaron proposed and drank peanut butter cup shakes. They were excited to see the shake on the wall! Yes, we decided to be fierce in front of the Ruby’s sign :)

Aaron & Breanna’s Wedding

Posted on October 6, 2009

What a beautiful couple these two are. I can’t even describe how beautiful their relationship is. They are so in love with each other. It’s so stinkin’ cute :)

I have NEVER been so emotional at a wedding before. Seriously, I was fighting back tears! Their wedding was centered around God and the tremendous amount of love they both have for Him. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! There were so many surprises throughout the day too. Breanna surprised Aaron right before she walked down the isle with a speech. Well, really it was more than that. So, you could hear her voice but not see her. It was beautiful to watch Aaron as he listened to her voice.

More surprises in the pics below…

After they kissed it was Aaron’s turn to surprised Breanna. He sang her a lovely song.

Breanna then wrote her dad something so special. This was really when I was fighting back the tears! Her dad had given her a purity ring years ago and she was now giving it back to him. Again it was such a special moment to see. It totally made me think of my daughter on her wedding day.

What a beautiful wedding  it was!

Check out Megan’s blog post too :)

I do have to give a shout out to Clynda who did an AMAZING job on Jennifers hair. As a retired hairstylist myself, I do have to say she does exceptional work!

The details were one of a kind. It fit them so perfectly :)
