Rocky + Victoria - Wedding - Rancho Cucamonga and Loft 84 in Downtown Riverside

We had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful wedding in Rancho Cucamonga. Rocky and Victoria were surrounded by family as they walked down the aisle at Sacred Heart Church. The entire morning had gone one without a hitch, so we were so excited when we got to this point, because the day just got better and better as it progressed.

After the ceremony we headed to Downtown Riverside, to explore the beautiful scenery, and the cool urban back alleys that made for some really awesome photos. The reception was held at the Loft 84 venue, also in downtown. It was our first time shooting here, we were so excited when we went inside! Loft 84 has so much to offer, and it was a perfect back drop that complimented this couple so well. We had so much fun hanging out, dancing and watching their family and friends have the greatest night!

Tyler + Courtney - Wedding - Rancho Cucamonga Ca

Tyler and Courtney had a beautiful backyard wedding that couldn’t have come together any better. The wedding was held in a beautiful house in the Redhill Country Club area overlooking the beautiful city of Rancho Cucamonga.

I could go on about how perfect everything went from beginning to end, and it did! These two are perfect, and they made sure their wedding was nothing less than, but the reception was one of the most memorable events for us! They had a local band play the night away, and one of the highlights was when Tyler and his friends took over the band to play some of their own hits!

We are so excited for Tyler and Courtney to start their lives together and are so happy we got to share this awesome day with them!

Darren + Alisha - Wedding in Temecula Ca

There was something about the way Darren and Alisha would look at each other, and you knew they could see their future together. Just being around them, we could see their future together, and their future looked so good!

We started this beautiful day at The Peltzer Winery located in the middle of Temecula Valley Wine Country. Hidden away from all the chaos of the big cities, this was a perfect venue for Darren and Alisha to celebrate their big day.

Everything went as planned, both parties enjoyed each other’s company while getting ready. This venue has no shortage of great areas to photograph, so we picked out a little hidden area overlooking the winery to have them do their first look. They were both so excited to see each-other for the first time and get out some of those wedding day nerves.

The rest of the day could not have gone better. Darren and Alisha said their I Do’s as the sun set behind the winery groves, and the guests were ready to eat and dance the night away. We had an amazing time spending the day with these two, we are excited to watch them grow together and see where life takes them!

Jeremy + Jessica - Wedding - Temecula, Ca

We spent the entire day at Lake Oak Meadows celebrating Jeremy and Jessica’s wedding day. Temecula is beautiful as it is, but this couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for these two. They each spent the morning getting ready in their respective quarters, and you could feel the excitement. They both could not wait to see each other, and it didn’t help that they were just feet from each other all morning.

We started off their day with their first look. It was such an emotional moment to capture these two seeing each other for the first time. The rest of the day was a ride of laughter and happiness. The ceremony was set over looking the lake on the property, and we used the last of the sunset light to photograph some amazing images for them. 

The rest of the night was spent laughing and dancing and watching all of Jeremy and Jessica’s friends and family have the time of their lives. We had the greatest time spending the day with them and are so honored they chose us to photograph one of the most special days in their lives.

Felipe + Dolores - Wedding - Huntington Beach, CA

We are very fortunate to meet and photograph some of the greatest couples in the world, Felipe and Dolores are no exception. From the day we met, we felt instantly connected to them. They also put together a beautiful wedding at the Newland Barn in Huntington Beach. It was our first time photographing and this amazing outdoor venue. 

Their ceremony took place under a homemade alter, decorated with a floral arrangement. It complimented the greenery over looking the blue sky behind them. The Newland Barn grounds had several places for us to explore and find great locations for their family and bridal party photos. We also walked their beautiful garden and loved their use of space to create intimate moments with our couple. 

We loved watching Felipe be with and enjoy his new wife! When we were done with photos we set ourselves up for their grand entrance. Felipe and Dolores walked down the path to a warm welcoming from their friends and family. The sun was already setting, and the strung lights were lit, which made for a very romantic setting as they danced their first dance.

There were so many amazing details. From the beautiful table decor, the vintage furniture displayed, the fun lawn games and their caterer baking hot pizzas on the spot for everyone to enjoy! We had an incredible time with these two and truly enjoyed every part of their big day!

Crystal + Andres - Wedding - Long Beach, Ca

The Queen Mary was once a benchmark for elegance and luxury traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, filed with the richest and most famous people during its time. This beauty and elegance is what drew Crystal and Andres to have their wedding on California’s historic ship. This 40’s themed wedding could not have taken place in a better setting. Crystal and Andres took us back to a much simpler time, and you really felt like you were in a different world with all the attention that went into the details. Crystal and her girls were gowned head to tow in the most beautiful vintage style, while Andres and his groomsmen were perfectly groomed and dapper.

The weather was perfect, and we had the deck to ourselves with an incredible view of Downtown Long Beach as our backdrop for Crystal and Andres’ first look. We love being able to capture these moments with our couples. The first look is an incredibly intimate moment, and watching these two share that time together, and talk with each other before the ceremony, and before anyone else sees them has always been one of our favorite moments.

We felt so honored to have been part of their big day. I (Ulices) have known Crystal since the 3rd grade. There is a very powerful feeling of joy and happiness we get from being able to share these special moments with people we have grown up with our entire lives. Crystal and Andres have a beautiful relationship, they were surrounded by so much love and support and we had the best time dancing, laughing and capturing their day.

Josh + Hannah - Wedding - Downtown Los Angeles, Ca

We are always excited to shoot every wedding we shoot. But this one was one of the most special weddings I think I could be a part of. Josh and Hannah's wedding has been long awaited. I met Joshua when we were 5 and 7. One of my favorite stories is how I was so intrigued by this kid who had just moved in across the street was out in his driveway practicing karate. I walked out to meet him and thus began a friendship that has gone over almost three decades.

I couldn't have been happier to find out one of my best friends had found the love of his life. Joshua and Hannah are quite the impressive couple too, although they met here in California, they maintained a long distance relationship overseas. Hannah lived in London, but we all know there is no distance that can keep real love apart.

Josh and Hannah's wedding day went down perfectly. The morning began at the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica where our bride spent this perfect summer day preparing herself for her big day. After their beautiful intimate wedding at the Kingdom Hall, we headed to their venue Casa Vertigo. And we couldn't have asked for a better setting for a Los Angeles rooftop photo session. I feel so lucky to have a friend as great as Joshua, and it makes me so happy to see him find the love of his life and begin this new journey together.

Greg + Samantha - Wedding - Fallbrook, C

Greg and Samantha’s spring wedding at the 127 West Social House was more than we could have ever imagined! This beautiful little restaurant is nestled in downtown Fallbrook, if you have never been, it is a must! This cute little town sits on the northside of San Diego county and is known as the Avocado Capitol of the World. Do we even need to keep going? 

Now, the 127 West Social House is currently under construction, and we knew that at the time of the wedding, but we had no idea the construction was going to make for an awesome setting for this wedding. Part of the restaurant had suffered a fire, and during this time they had already rebuilt most of the shell. We were reluctant to use it as part of the wedding photos, but when we arrived it turned out to be such an awesome location for their photos.

The restaurant itself served as an amazing venue, the entire wedding took place outdoors, and the decorations were a perfect display for this adventurous and outgoing couple. Greg and Samantha spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and camping so this setting suit them well.

We loved spending the day with these two and all of their amazing friends and family. It was so fun to capture such a beautiful wedding day, we look forward to keeping up with these two and their now growing family!
