A beer themed wedding?! I kid you not! Andrea and Shelby’s wedding was at the beautiful Long Shadow Ranch in Temecula California. The vineyard offers rolling hillsides, and beautiful barn style buildings that make for the perfect rustic backdrop. To add even more awesomeness to the day, the bride and groom’s name is Mr. and Mrs Smith! How is cool is that!?!
We started the day at the quaint Temecula Creek Inn for hair and make up. Andrea and her bridesmaids are make up artist, so the ladies spent all morning dolling each other up while the guys hung out at the ranch. Both the bride and groom had growing anticipation leading up to the big moment!
The ceremony was light hearted and included the classic Wedding Singer song, “Grow Old With You” Lyrics. Like always, I was tearing up behind the camera!

Set in an abandoned meadow and atop a golden hillside, the inspiration for this shoot was a mix of vintage military classical and rustic bohemian charm. Our groom is wearing a military issued Air Force uniform, complete with medals and a maroon beret, which gives the shoot a classic, old-world feel. Our bride is in a timeless lace gown by Allure Bridals and a gold leave belt by A bit of Love.
Stephanie and Tony are in a long distance relationship while Tony is serving in the Air Force. They value their time together and you can see the love and excitement every minute the are around one an other. Their love story really created a beautiful story line for our old world military inspired story line.
Our decor consisted of mis matched antique furniture pieces provided by Sweet and Salvage Rentals. We added a small modern twist with geometric china and tied in the rustic charm using copper mugs and burlap accents to adorn the table.
Accompany all of that with unique florals that incorporated cotton and mushrooms, and you have a wedding scene that takes you back to another time.

I met Matt and Nisha on a short vacation after a little work trip down to Cancun, Mexico. My hubby and I decided to take some time and explore Tulum, Mexico. It was everything we had hoped for. A relaxed beach town with eco friendly establishments, gorgeous beaches and a town with tons of fun and nightlife. We met Nisha and Matt while bonding over our music taste at a local happy hour. After we talked for a bit we found out that they were looking to shoot there Engagement session in Tulum, since it is somewhere they have been together a few times. It was kismet! We set the session for the next day and it could not have been more fun! They didn’t want the typical beach scene, which is what most people would opt for in Mexico. Instead, they were drawn to the town, with its Mexican architecture and vibrant colors. We spent the afternoon wandering around the town, getting chased by local street dogs and finished it all with a cold margarita. Such a fun way to spend an afternoon exploring a new and different culture. Congrats guys!
