Just had to share this one...

Some photos don't initially make it to the blog. Doesn't mean they are any less special. There are just too many lovely moments during a wedding I wish I could share them all.

I came across this one again after, Cynthia, the bride from this wedding posted her photos on FB. Brandon's grandmother was unable to pose where we shot the formals due to her wheelchair. So, I made it a point in my mind to make sure to get a shot of them later together sometime during the busy day.

As I shot a series of photos she did not once stop gushing about how amazing her grandson is. I could see how proud she was of him and how happy she was to be there on their special day.

A wedding is so much more than the flowers, the cake or what name brand dress the bride is wearing. Don't get me wrong I enjoy capturing all those details, but to me the most important is what can't be bought or ever replaced.

This post is dedicated to my Lola (filipino for grandmother), who despite was using a walker, insisted on walking me down the aisle. She has since passed away and I am forever grateful to my photographer, Jim Stephens, for capturing this moment on film.

Cynthia & Brandon :: San Moritz Lodge Wedding

Cynthia & Brandon came from all the way from Georgia to celebrate with their closest family and friends at the San Moritz Lodge in Crestline, CA. I have to say that they are one of the nicest couples I have ever met. I instantly felt like I knew them even though we didn't get to meet beforehand. Cynthia and Brandon laughed the whole day long and their love for each other was evident. They are so perfect for each other.

Cynthia and Brandon opted to see each other before the ceremony.

Unity sand ceremony.

Cynthia's brother walked her down the aisle.

Brandon's Uncle officiated the wedding.

Cynthia won the "race."

After the ceremony we headed over to the surrounding forrest area near Lake Gregory.

Cynthia is my bridal hero. She walked through a stream in her wedding gown, in heels. Love this girl.

I think Brandon loves her too.

Cynthia and Brandon are so fun they wanted to swing on some monkey bars. Not your typical wedding photos, but they are not your average couple.

Cynthia's Mom put together a lot of the wonderful wedding details herself.

The Best Man's microphone kept on cutting out, so he improvised.

Cupcake! SMASH!

All is forgiven.

Check out Brandon's sister's epic leap. All the other single ladies didn't have a chance.

Brandon & Cynthia check out a slideshow of their wedding photos before the wedding was even over.

Cynthia and Brandon thank you again so much for having me at your wedding. I had the BEST time. You two are amazing.  Thanks to Brianna Glenn and  Jasmine Star for the roles they played in hooking me up with these two. Thanks to my second shooter David Sno for capturing so many beautiful photos. And a huge thanks to my hubby, Trevor McCauley, for carrying all my gear for me. Love you. xoxo
