Imagine an almost perfect day with family, celebration, and an amazing couple – madly in love. That describes a wedding we had the pleasure of being a part of in Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula, CA . But first, a few image from their engagement session earlier this year (at Mission Trails).
They even brought the babies along. We love ’em.
Did I mention they met in Frane?
Custom hangars, courtesy of the talented bride.
Carissa; already a show-stopper.
I dare you to find cooler cufflinks.
This is what it looks like to anticipate your own marriage.
Grandpa’s shirt provided something blue.
This was a first. They practiced reading their own vows and had a little moment by themselves. Love it.
Remembering dad who was definitely there in spirit.
A gasp from the crowd.
We love Lake Oak Meadows.
Moms.
And it’s official!
No birds were harmed in the making of this Recessional. That’s lavender.
We don’t usually post formals but we had to show off this handsome group.
I spy a bee (who must be living large).
Diana Ross was there to make sure everything ran perfectly. I can’t vouch for her singing, but she did a fantastic job coordinating the event.
And now, for the very first time…
Can’t help but love these two.
The dances provided plenty of emotion.
…as did the toasts.
The countryside.
Plenty of goodies.
Party Time!
Carissa + Mike… we couldn’t be more grateful to have been a part of your unforgettable day. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for welcoming us.
