Katie + Johnathan = Engaged | Disneyland

Katie and Johnathan are truly a match made in heaven.   They have known each other since high school and have been together almost every day since.  Katie was laughing and talking to me about what a wonderful man Johnathan is, and how kind and loving he is to her mom especially and Johnathan could not say enough about how lucky he was to be able to marry his high school sweetheart.  I hope that when my daughter grows up she finds someone as kind and loving as Johnathan.  Katie….you scored big ;)

Nathaniel + Kayla = Engaged | Fullerton

I met Kayla and Nathaniel at our first meeting at a Starbucks near my home.  What first stuck me was not only how attractive this young couple was, but the way that they lovingly looked at each other and smiled the entire time that we were discussing their wedding plans.  Nathaniel was holding her hand telling me the story of how they first met (the second time) and Kayla just looked at him the entire time,smiling to herself, so pleased that he was all hers.  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding on the Queen Mary in Long Beach :)

DeRuyter Family | Mission Inn Riverside

I love this family!  This is the fourth year I have taken their family photos and the girls grow more beautiful every year.  Madi is a fantastic gymnast and a natural in front of the camera. Makayla is spring loaded joy!  Hugging is her BEST gift to others :)  Every year she runs to greet me with a big hug and a hello ready for action.   Thank you Greg and Desiree for letting be a part of your family photo tradition :)

Frankie + Danielle = Married | Black Gold Golf Club – Yorba Linda

Frankie and Danielle are definitely a match made in heaven.  They were married at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. Danielle was beautiful and smiling ear to ear as her dad and step-dad walked her down the aisle.  The ceremony was very sentimental and the vows were so incredible, sincere and heart-felt. There were no dry eyes :)

The reception was a blast!  The best man’s and matron of honor speech was crazy funny and the father’s toasts were tearful tributes to Danielle.  After the toasts, everyone, I mean EVERYONE was dancing their hearts out!  I love shooting a reception where everyone is dancing and having a great time!  I was sorry to see it end :)
