At the end of June I had the incredible opportunity to fly down to Riverside, CA to shoot this wedding. Incredible because of three reasons: One, Erika is an artist, and I've known her a long, long time, so I felt I knew what she'd like, and I knew she trusted my vision. {I had a pretty good vision in my mind of how I wanted the images to turn out, even before I began shooting, and am really happy with the results.} Two, it was the most UNstressed I've ever been about a shoot. Seriously. Her family is so fun and the day was so casual. Three, Erika and John are a gorgeous couple, which made my job a lot easier! Four, I got to sneak away from my family for a weekend, which was fun, and also drive up to Bakersfield for two days to see my brother and his family. And Five, I got to make the long drive home with my bestest Lis, and even though her kids were with us, it almost felt like a road trip. Okay, so that was five reasons.
It was really hard to narrow down which pictures to post on the blog, so there are a ton. I couldn't help it.
Congratulations Erika and John! Thanks for letting me share the day with you!
