Kevin + Melissa - Wedding - Fullerton Ca

There are certain aspects of different weddings that tend to really stick out to us, and we always remember those things when we look back at all the great weddings we have photographed. But Kevin and Melissa’s wedding, EVERY aspect of the day really stuck out.

The day started out pretty casual at Melissa’s house. She had laid out her dress, her shoes, and all her accessories. As we started we also met the videography team from Yours Truly Media, and we hit it off with them right away. And that was only the beginning of a really fun day with them.

We all headed over to All Souls Church in the city of Alhambra. It was a really big beautiful church. The staff there was very welcoming and we had so much fun capturing the beauty of the old cathedral. When the ceremony was over we headed over for a little treat. Melissa wanted to stop by her old work at Fosselmans Ice Cream in Glendora. It was such a cute place to start their photography session. The ice cream parlor has been open for over a hundred years now, it was really awesome to photograph in a place like that with so much history!

We finally headed down to Downtown Fullerton where they were going to have their reception at Villa Del Sol. This was our first time photographing at Villa Del Sol, and we were completely taken back by how beautiful this venue was. We took our time to play around and find awesome places in the venue to take some photos before we hit the streets of Downtown Fullerton for a little session on the streets.

Gino from Euphoric Events Entertainment was our DJ for the night, and man did he get the night started! He kept everyone on their feet all night, we had so much fun dancing with everyone and capturing all of Kevin and Melissa’s family and friends having the time of their lives!

Also had an excellent experience working with the videography team at Yours Truly Media.

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.
