I was personally freezing my behind off, but Cindy and Michael didn’t mind keeping each other warm with hugs and kisses during the few moments that we had to venture off into the golf course before the rain picked up again.  Thank you guys for sharing your love, your smiles, and your moments with me!

Cindy and Michael celebrated their wedding ceremony at the Northpoint Evangelical Church in Corona and their fabulous reception took place at the Eagle Glen Golf Course.

Talisa and James celebrated their wedding day at the Etiwanda Gardens. 

They celebrated their love surrounded by their beautiful family at Angeles National Golf Club.

They had a fabulous first look… then Harrold went back outside to knock on Prisillia’s door, so that her parent’s could answer the door while Harrold went with his family to ask for Prisillia’s hand in marriage!! It was sooo cute.  The entire family gathered to give Prisillia ‘away’ and to give their blessings for this union.  I love that they honored that beautiful tradition that is part of the Indonesian culture! 

Their wedding ceremony (which took place at the First Presbyterian Church in Redlands) was equally amazing… at one point in the ceremony Harrold and Prisillia took the mike and sang a song to their parents!  It was sooooo beautiful.  There wasn’t a dry eye in the entire place… everyone was so touched that tears just flowed.  I love what I do – I love being a part of moments that are so inspiring and just amazing! 

So these last 6 months I’ve shot tons of weddings (both locally and destination weddings)… tons of engagements (also locally and for destination)… my beautiful sister got married (and I was her photographer, of course)… my son turned 4 and is talking a ton (not sure if that’s a good thing or not, since now I don’t know what ‘peace and quiet’ feels like anymore!)… and one of my images was featured in a post in the fabulous wedding blog Chez-Wedd – http://chezwedd.com/trash-the-dress-session/  (I love all the wedding ideas and weddings that they feature!! – check them out!!!)

So … let’s begin my challenge of trying to get caught up… in the mean time – an image from my sister’s fabulous wedding…

One of my favorite parts of Christina and Kevin’s wedding was how they made it such a priority to include Kevin’s kid into their ceremony!!! it was so sweet to see kids ‘take’ Christina as part of their lives too!!! (yes… I did the whole awwwwwww and head tilt when that part of the ceremony began ).

Their wedding had so much tradition and style … and I wouldn’t expect anything else from this fabulous couple!!! LOL!!!!

Their traditional Catholic mass took place at St. Dominic Savio Church – in Bellflower.
And their fabulous reception was held at the City of Industry Expo Center - where we also took their fabulous and romantic Bride/Groom portraits!!

Amanda and Jake had their fabulous and fun wedding at the Serra Center in Camarillo.  The Catholic church at the Serra Center is so unique… with a round configuration… but so incredible to photograph!!! I loved it!!! 

Their wedding reception was one of the most fun wedding receptions I have ever had the pleasure of documenting!!! I love it when all the guests just enjoy dancing, singing, and just simply having fun!!!!!  

 Thank you Sara and Luis for allowing me to capture that love and your fabulous style!!!
