Ashley & Adrian: Married at the Twin Oaks Garden Estate

I'd like to share another beautiful wedding I second shot alongside the talented Sarah Layne Photography. You can see Sarah's blog post here.

The Twin Oaks Garden Estate in San Marcos, CA was the perfect venue to celebrate the union between Ashley & Adrian. Twin Oaks is gorgeous inside and out, just like Adrian and Ashley. They married on a perfect Spring day in an outdoor garden ceremony with their closest loved ones at hand. The bride wore sparkly blue TOMS shoes and the groom fancy black leather TOMS. Even the bridal party all wore TOMS, including the sweet little ring bearer who carried an American flag box that was a homage to Adrian's military service. At the reception Adrian and Ashley partied until they made their grand exit out of the Twin Oaks schoolhouse and rode off into the night in a vintage Chrysler.

Congrats to Ashley & Adrian!

Lizett & Eddie: Married at St John's in Baldwin Park

Lizett & Eddie are so in love. They laughed and loved their whole wedding day long. The bride and groom said their vows during a traditional Catholic ceremony and were greeted with a mariachi band as they exited the church as husband and wife. They celebrated with a couple hundred friends and family. An emotional father and daughter dance and a touching first dance were the highlights of the reception.

Congrats to Lizett and Eddie!

Thanks to Kristin Carlson for having me! It's always a pleasure. You can see here blog post here.

Behind the Scenes

 Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I had a fun-filled photographic weekend which is always my favorite. Saturday I shot a wedding alongside the lovely & talented Kristin Carlson and Sunday I got to shoot a headshot session for the lovely & talented Alison Janes .
