I am so excited to finally get Jen & Nik’s wedding on the blog! The wedding day started with getting ready at the Hyatt in Valencia and then we all headed out to Le Chene for pictures before the ceremony on a beautiful private property behind Le Chene. You would never know just by driving by what a beautiful little private area is hidden back behind the restaurant property. Beautiful full and tall trees filled the area creating the perfect place for an outdoor wedding ceremony on the lawn. It was an extremely warm day but we managed to keep somewhat cool with lots of ice water and indoor breaks. 🙂
One of my favorite moments of their day was photographing their First Look. Jen was trying to play off not being emotional by giving Nik a playful tug for him to turn around and see her but as soon as their eyes met Jen teared up and Nik just kept taking a step back to look at his beautiful bride in her dress. Sweetest thing ever! That’s a moment they will never forget and what I love about it the most is that having that time allowed them to really soak in their special moment.
Jen and Nik are two super sweet people with their own unique and  fun personalities. It was such a pleasure to photograph their beautiful day!
