The first time I met with Elyse I thought, “This is my kind of girl!”  I couldn’t wait to shoot her wedding.  Elyse is a graphic designer so needless to say, I got excited as she talked about all of her ideas for the wedding.  And knowing that her and her family were doing it all, even the flowers, I couldn’t wait to see how it all turned out!  They did not disappoint!

Rain has been a them for these two and me.  It rained when we did their engagement shoot.  And it was set to rain the day of their wedding too.  I prayed for days that a God would keep it dry until 5:00, when the ceremony started.  After that, it could pour buckets.  Well….. that’s exactly what happened!  It started raining right after their first look.  It rained for a couple of minutes and then it stopped for the rest of our photo time.  Thank you!

Robert and Elyse, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.  You are so much fun and you kept me laughing all day!

Ceremony: St.Paul’s Lutheran Church Fullerton

Reception: Summit House

Then she added a bird cage veil.  Yes please!

I love the expression on her dad’s face here.

Elyse showed me her original drawing for the cake.  Cucamonga Cakery made it happen…. and rocked it!
