Bianca and Joel are two very sweet people and it was a joy to be part of their wedding day in Victorville, CA. They met in college while they were attending Pensacola Christian College. One of my favorite things about their wedding day was that you could sense just how much they loved their family and friends. Although it was Bianca’s big day she didn’t hesitate to congratulate her good friends on their pregnancy during her wedding reception. Her friends had been trying for a long time to have a baby and they told Bianca at her wedding that they were expecting. Joel and Bianca are a lovely couple and I am so excited for them as they begin their journey together as a married couple. Below are some images from their wedding. Enjoy!

Eric and I headed to the coast on a Saturday morning to shoot Mitch and Melinda’s wedding in Ventura, California. We enjoyed the drive and were excited to start shooting such a sweet couple. We met Mitch and Melinda through Mitch’s dad who is a photographer here in Lancaster. I knew when I met them that their wedding day would be relaxed and beautiful and it was just that. We and enjoyed the day and watching these two become one was beautiful! When I gave them their wedding package today they gave me a hug!! Awesome clients and beautiful people inside and out!

Melinda and her bridesmaids got ready at the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel and Resort which is where we took most the the portraits as well. The grounds were gorgeous! Thank you Mitch and Melinda for letting us document this amazing time in your lives!

Kayla and Jonathan were married on November 20, 2009 at Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, CA. They met as teenagers and absolutely adore one another. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and they both looked amazing. One of my favorite parts of shooting a wedding is the time in the ready room with the bridesmaids and the bride. Excitement is bubbling over, girls are rushing to get all spiffed up and the Bride is the center of attention. As the photographer I feel lucky to be able to stand in the background getting shots of the little moments between the girls and the stunning details during this “ready” time. It’s such a fun and exciting time just before all the action begins. What a joy it was be a part in their day and I wish them all the best in years to come.

I am sure that Jon and Lucee never imagined that they would have to go all the way to Japan to meet one another but that is exactly how it happened. Lucee met Jon while on vacation in Okinawa, Japan! Jon was stationed in Okinawa and while he was there he often volunteered at the church where Lucee’s Brother-in-law pastored. Jon and Lucee met while helping out with church camp. They officially began dating in August of 2008 and kept in close touch after Lucee went back home to California. Jon was soon sent to Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California and on May 30th he proposed to Lucee after a lovely meal at the Odyssey in Granada Hills, California.

Congrats Lucee and Jon!

Gotta love the smile on the girl to the left!

The flower girls and ring bearer are siblings. Big brother was kind enough to hold his sisters’ hands although he was a little reluctant at first. Typical brother.

The gals and their flowers from Fashion Flowers.

This was just after they said their vows. So happy!

Just got off the phone with a friend after discussing wedding photography and all the details of starting a business. I was reminded of how awesome it is to capture a couple’s wedding day and how much I love it! While there is stress and pressure on the big day it so pays off when I get home and download the images! So here I am thinking about how much I love it as I am browsing through some wedding photos and thought I’d post some of my favs!

Such a pretty flower girl!

Sisters!

This is from a wedding last year. Their first anniversary is coming up soon. Happy early anniversary Jon & Kristi!

I love the bride being out of focus here with the water in focus.

Daddy getting ready to walk his oldest daughter down the isle to be married.

Dave & Britt were such a sweet couple to shoot. They were absolutely head over heals for one another! Brittany’s Dad went home to be with the Lord in 2006. Her Dad was an organ donor and she was able to receive part of his knee latter that year when she had to have knee surgery. In a very special way Brittany still got to have her daddy walk her down the isle!

I love the moment just before the kiss!

Sparklers are one of my favorite endings to a wedding. They are so pretty and the Bride and Groom look awesome running through them.

He was a shy little ring bearer but that just made him look more cute
