Laos Wedding Ceremony - Lao Wedding

Seeing as how I have been photographing weddings over 4 years I have had the pleasure of taking part in many different ethnic wedding traditions. This was however our first Lao wedding ceremony, and it was so much fun!! This couple chose to have two wedding days. One they chose to celebrate and honor her heritage and celebrate in a traditional Laos wedding ceremony and the second day was more of a traditional American wedding day. We were so proud and glad to be a part of both of these beautiful days and are thrilled that we can now say that we are also Loa wedding photographers as well!!! Please check out this stunning Lao wedding ceremony below.

Montage Laguna Beach Engagement Photos - Engagement Photographer

Such a gorgeous engagement session at Montage Laguna beach! My job as an Orange County wedding photographer and engagement photographer is to guide my couples into posing positions and of course get them giggling. I have always been blessed with couples that are so CLEARLY in love with each other but these two!!! OMG! These two took little to no guidance at all! They were just naturally this adorable! I had so much fun capturing their love and couldn’t wait for these two to say “I do” at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula. Check out this ADORABLE couples engagement session below.

Lake Oak Meadows Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Rainy Wedding Day

Temecula weddings are a very popular location to get married with so many beautiful wineries and golf courses to choose from….a bride can’t go wrong. Temecula is known for sunny warm weather…except in February and March. Unfortunately for this couple rain was in the forecast. Our couple however made the best of it; we walked all over Lake Oak Meadows and still were able to capture all of the photos they wanted. When you’re a wedding photographer your job is to make things work. So when it’s raining or might rain we show up in rain boots, rain coats, and have two HUGE umbrellas to cover our couple and our equipment. I think despite all of the obstacles we faced for this Temecula wedding we were able to capture all of the special moments of their Lake Oak Meadows wedding day.

Coto Valley Country Club Wedding - Coto de Caza Wedding

Wedding Photography is my passion. I truly love being a wedding photographer. As much as I love traveling to Temecula, Palm Springs, etc.... it’s always so nice traveling ten minutes down Oso Parkway to get to a wedding. Coto Valley Country Club is tucked in the hills of Coto de Caza an exclusive housing community in Orange County. This venue was recently updated and the indoor ceremony site is filled with towering white walls and vast windows that allow ample amounts of natural light to fill the room. The venue has a bounty of lush green grass and trees for the best setting for “romantics” of the bride and groom. Coto Valley Country Club weddings are so beautiful and the “day of” coordinators are so helpful and on top of keeping your day running smooth. Please check out our wedding photos from this Coto Valley Country Club wedding in Orange County.

Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park Engagement Session

Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session

The Mission San Juan Capistrano as an engagement session location is a favorite for sure! The mission has so many different scenes within the grounds and tons of unique textures that help make the Mission San Juan Capistrano a primo engagement photography spot.

Woodhaven Country Club Wedding - Palm Desert Wedding

Photographing weddings in Palm Desert is a favorite. The Palm Springs vibe and warm sunny days make any wedding perfect. Because wedding photography is so crucial to your wedding I always suggest to my couples to schedule an engagement session so that we all have a chance to get to know each other before the big day. This couple chose to move forward with the engagement session at Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park and I am so glad we did because we had a blast! When the day of the wedding came these two were completely at ease the entire day knowing that we would capture everything. Their wedding day was absolutely perfect and we are feeling so grateful that we were their Orange County wedding photographers. Check out this glimpse of their wedding day below.

Corona Heritage Museum Wedding - Corona Wedding

When you get to work with your best friend/husband all day and work your dream job, life is GOOD! This day started out at The Riverside Art Museum where these two decided to have their “first look” (the “first look” is when the couple have a private moment alone to see each other for the first time). What a beautiful intimate location. We were able to get a lot of fun looks at this museum.

The actual wedding took place at Corona Heritage Park Museum, the perfect setting for a wedding. This intimate wedding venue is surrounded by a canopy of trees. This venue also offers rows of lush orange trees that gave the perfect setting for some one on one photos of this bride and groom. Please check out a small glimpse of their wedding day below.Video - Love is Cinema

Queen Mary Wedding - Long Beach Wedding

These two love birds fell in love 10 years ago. When he finally proposed she said “its about time!” This bride and groom were a complete hoot and laughed and cried the entire ceremony. We loved working on The Queen Mary such a historic place filled with so many memories. Wedding photography really allows us to see the most beautiful places and this ship was definitely  one of them. Congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for choosing us to be your southern California wedding photographers.

Falkner Winery Wedding - Temecula Wedding - Air-force Wedding

At a winery weddings are ALWAYS beautiful and let me tell you Falkner winery is definitely no exception. If you love Temecula and want to get married at Winery check out Falkner winery. This venue has two ceremony and reception locations. This couple chose to get married on the top area in the garden. The garden offers a beautiful grassy area covered with lush trees and gorgeous plants that surround the space. Since the garden is above most of the property you are able to overlook all of the vineyards while you say “I do.” The garden also works as a ceremony and reception space so your guests don’t have far to travel once the ceremony is completed. What a stunning venue and such a gorgeous couple inside and out. We truly hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed taking them.

Leoness Cellars Winery Engagement Session

If you haven’t visited Temecula Wine Country you need to. The stunning beauty commands your attention and of course the wine isn’t bad either. With so many beautiful places to get married in Temecula, Leoness Cellars is one of our favorites! This winery was recently updated and added a wonderful restaurant which is a MUST if you’re in the area. The stunning ceremony site overlooks the vineyard and is the perfect location to say “I do”. Since we clearly love this venue we were super excited to have the opportunity to photograph this couple’s engagement session at Leoness Cellars Winery. When you have AMAZING couples to work with life is so much more fun! These two were a blast….we had lots of laughs and cuddly moments surrounded by the luscious grapevines which made my job much easier. We truly cannot wait for these two to have their Leoness Cellars Winery Wedding in Temecula in November 2019!! Please check out some of our favorites below from this engagement session.

Irvine Regional Park Engagement Photos

This fabulous couple chose the woodland landscape of Irvine Regional Park for their engagement session. The collapsed trees throughout this park was the perfect backdrop for this couple’s love. Engagement sessions are so fundamental when working with your wedding photographer. It really sets your entire wedding day up for success. When you have already worked with your wedding photographer at your engagement session a feeling of ease and trust on the day of the wedding with your photographers work is important. We are so excited to photograph this beautiful couple’s wedding at Europa Village in Temecula. Congratulations you two! We can’t wait to be your Temecula wedding photographers!

Kumar's Ranch Wedding - Corona

Southern California is known for its amazing weather, beautiful people, and stunning wedding venues... :) We as Southern Californians are so blessed with so many wedding locations to choose from. This hidden gem in Corona Ca. was the perfect spot for these two. What a wonderful day filled with so much love and beauty and of course dancing! The fun this bride and groom had during their first dance, father - daughter dance, and mother - son dance really set the stage for what the night had in store. The traditional “El Baile de la Vibora” or what many call the Mexican wedding dance or Mexican wedding snake dance was so fun! This dance had the entire room in an uproar watching as the ladies and then the gentleman weaved through the couple and around the ballroom. The band kept the night filled with men and women spinning around engrossing themselves into the salsa dance. We are so happy for this beautiful bride and groom. Their day was flawless and we are so glad that we could be their San Bernardino wedding photographers. Please enjoy some fun moments of this couple's beautiful Corona wedding day.

The Riviera Hotel Wedding - Palm Springs - Star Wars Wedding

It has been far too long since I have taken some time to continue our blog...so here it is! This wedding was actually May 4th, 2018; so many amazing things have changed for The Everlasting Photo since this wedding. I can't help but flash back. Since this wedding we have updated our cameras and equipment, we have a larger staff, now adding Dillon to our team, and we have just improved our style as a whole. Looking back on a wedding that we have had the honor of photographing is such a surreal experience and we are so elated to have the privilege to continue our dream of being wedding photographers. This Palm Springs wedding was the perfect day. These two clearly are hopelessly in love with each other and are obviously fabulous since they chose to get married on May 4th. This wedding was "Beauty and the Beast" themed for her and "May the 4th be with you" themed (Star Wars) for them both! We had the best time being this couple's wedding photographers. We know that their love will last a lifetime.

The Red Horse Barn Wedding - Huntington Beach, Ca

Being a wedding photographer has always been a dream of mine. Since I was 14 years old I loved taking photos. BEFORE cellphone selfies and before cameras that were so easily accessible as they are today, I loved photography. As I grew up and became an adult I have worked many different jobs from babysitting little ones, to helping set up weddings, to being a restaurant manager, and even working at a desk all day retrieving money for someone else’s company. During my last and final “job”, my husband (he was my fiancé at the time) looked at me and said, “honey why don’t you do what you love”. My amazing husband helped build me the confidence to quit my day to day job to start my own photography company and to be able to do what I love. I am one lucky lady (fyi if you're in need of a videographer my husband Brian is the BEST)! Check out his website - Love is Cinema :) Becoming a wedding photographer has given me such great joy. I LOVE all of my couples and am truly honored that I get to share a special part in their love story. This story leads me to this AMAZING couple! The love and laughter these two showed for each other was truly perfect. The Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach is just beautiful. Tucked into the heart of Huntington Beach this wedding venue is filled with trees and horses...a perfect spot for “romantics.” The venue is the perfect size and easily accessible to all guests. We truly had the best time at this wedding. You could tell this couple put in so much work to see to it that all those little wedding details were just right. Thank you to this couple for allowing us to be their Orange County wedding photographers.

Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park - Engagement Session

The love they show for each other is insurmountable. This engagement session took place at one of our favorite locations Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park in Orange County. This location has so much beauty from the lush forest feel, to the stunning brush hills that drape to make stunning landscape photos. We had so much fun with this couple and loved that we had the opportunity to photograph their love. Wedding photography is our favorite but the day is even better when we have already worked with our couples. Its such a good feeling to build a relationship with your bride and groom as their wedding photographer before their wedding day. Congratulations on tying the knot you two!

Christ Community Church Elopement Wedding

Aren’t weddings magical? Most girls dream about their prince charming and of course the day they marry him.
