Allisa and Chris – Wedding at Pasadena City Hall and the Romanesque Room

Pasadena City Hall is an amazing place and I was so excited when Allisa and Chris told me that they would be getting married there.  It made for a beautiful ceremony location!  Their reception followed at the Romanesque Room (at the Castle Green Hotel) which was a fantastic place to have a party.  So needless to say, I had a wonderful time photographing Allisa and Chris’ wedding!!!

They are a darling couple and such a great match for one another.  Their excitement (especially Allisa’s) for the wedding overflowed all day.  I had never seem a bride more giddy and animated!   Her enthusiasm made for such fun photos.  It was a pure joy to photograph their ceremony and every other part of their special day.  What I loved most, however, is that she kept saying “This is so much fun!  Can we do it again?”.  It was wonderful to watch a bride enjoy her wedding as much as every bride hopes to…  She focused on all of the people that she loved and treasured each moment with them!

The tenderness between her and her father was the most special for me to photograph.  His adoration for her was priceless.  It was such an honor to witness the tender moments shared between them throughout the day.  Chris has some big shoes to fill and thankfully his heart is just as big.  He is such a sweet guy and is so in love with his bride.  This was definitely a fairy tale wedding!

Marina and Bryan – Wedding at Pinot Provence

Wedding by Amanda

I absolutely loved shooting at Pinot Provence Restaurant in Orange county, located at the Westin Hotel in Costa Mesa.  This romantic french venue was filled french antiques and fabrics, charming chandeliers, vintage birdcages, and so much more.  The restaurant was picked because this was the family favorite restaurant, but to make the day even that more amazing they added their own personal touch.  Marina’s mom Lori made all the table linens and the florist included french beans, kumquats, and bell peppers into the centerpieces (provided by Art With Nature Floral Design).  Wondering why they had fresh fruit and veggies, well Marina and Bryan are professional chefs, so food was a big part of their big day!  So even the detail to the cuisine was unforgettable.  Marina and Bryan were amazing to work with and I loved the jcrew wedding dress and charcoal suit, it was so chic and cool.  There were so many special moments at this wedding, guest from all over the county serenading the bride and groom, and sweet toast from family members.  By the end of the day I felt like a member of this amazing family and I was so happy to be part of this great celebration.

Julie and Ryan – Wedding at Etiwanda Gardens

Wedding by April

It has been such a pleasure working with Julie and Ryan over this past year and getting know them!  Both of them are living in Colorado where Ryan is playing college football.  After falling in love at the end of high school, Julie couldn’t stand to be away from Ryan when he went away to school.  So she followed him up there, supporting him at every game and becoming is favorite and most loyal “cheerleader”!  Their love story is so sweet and it was just beautiful to watch them say “I do” at the alter.  I just loved photographing their wedding at Etiwanda Gardens.  It is always a delight to take pictures there!  The bridal party was so fun to work with, too!  I just love the “football” style shots we got of the guys!

Theresa - April WOW what can we say these are sooooooo beautiful it just makes me cry all over again like as if I am their again. What a Awesome job you did and I know that they had a great time too. Thank you so much for making our daughter and son-in-love wedding day sooooooooooo very special.
