Carissa + Mike’s Wedding in the French Countryside

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.

And then the big day.  Rain clouds loomed (and even spit) but it was gorgeous – just in time.

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.

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.
