San Juan Capistrano: Harry Potter Themed Wedding: The Guys

July 7, 2021

“You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!”
—Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Lizette has a tattoo on her back of a wand and she named her dog Lumos. So of course when she found her faithful soul, it would be Dumbledore that would marry them. Lizette didn’t need a love potion because as Professor Slughorn said, “It is impossible to manufacture or imitate love.” Christopher was hers. And so they were declared, “Bonded for life.”

So… to love that does not end, as Severus Snape devoutly said… “Always.”

Rose Center Theater Wedding: Lynette Romero Officiating: Albert and Pearl

June 21, 2021

The girl he remembered seeing in middle school, the one he came across after high school was finally going to be his wife. Albert stood in the hall way and anxiously waited for Pearl to touch his shoulder. He clenched his fingers. His serious face broke into a smile, the moment he turned and saw the woman he loved. They stood together and it was obvious that they were the power couple and drew their strength came from each other. They turned and walked the hallway to find their wedding party waiting and cheering for them. Laughter and joy… the party had begun as their friends surrounded them and started the celebration.

To the shock of their guests, Lynette Romero from Chanel 5 KTLA officiated. She welcomed their families and friends and lovingly shared their story as she married them. She wiped Pearl’s happy tears and directed groomsmen to move so grandparents could see. Her sincere kindness and happiness for their love was obvious. Her wonderful humor continued as she interviewed them, admiring their wedding rings and posing with the KTLA Van.

A beautiful ballroom awaited Albert and Pearl and their favorite singer Trish Toledo was there to welcome them. They danced to the song, “Confessing a Feeling,” for their first dance as the room filled with white smoke and they danced on a cloud.

It was an amazing first day of forever.

Claremont Botanical Gardens and Padua Hills Micro Wedding: Edgar and Monica Ruiz

April 28, 2021

Two people vowing to love each other forever can happen in front of few or thousands and the sincerity is the same. A celebration can happen on a crowded dance floor or a backyard and true joy will be there. Edgar and Monica surrounded themselves with their closest family…. 23 people witnessed their ultimate promise of love and stood by their side, masks on.

Memories! For this couple, that is what they cherished the most! Two beautiful Claremont Wedding Venues : Claremont Botanic Garden and Padua Hills opened their doors. Their hospitality and professionalism allowed us to capture a beautiful wedding story. Claremont Botanic Garden even allowed us on their property days before the wedding to capture their details.

Los Angeles Wedding Photography: Hector and Erlinda

March 24, 2021

Erlinda laughed with her maid of honor and cousin as her make up and hair were being done. Signs that her mom and grandma were watching over her kept coming throughout the day. Her mom was being honored in so many ways. Her mom’s wedding picture was there, she had sewn a heart from her wedding dress into hers and when she would lay flowers to Mary, another image of her mom would be there, reminding everyone of the great faith her mom had and had instilled in her.

Hector and Erlinda would be married on the outside patio of the church. A very select number of family and friends would attend. Countless others would be watching the live stream of the event. The wind blew the cascading fabric around the posts. The constantly smiled and laughed throughout their ceremony, but took in all seriousness to love each other forever.

We captured a group photo with all 20 guests, and some with cell phones outreached so families watching from afar could be in a picture with the bride. Hector and Erlinda wanted one picture at least inside the church. I knew every pew would have been filled with family and friends, but they stood at the altar in an empty church. There was a first dance and an emotional toast that truly highlighted their love story.

Since one day is not enough to celebrate, we took another day to calmly shoot their wedding portraits in the mountains.
