[35] wedding images
A few weeks ago Justin & I were out in sunny Mission Hills, CA shooting Gina & Patrick's wedding at one of California's many old historic missions. Justin is a pretty funny fellow who is always full of encouragement and jokes, and consequently I frequently produce some of my best work when I shoot with him. It also helps when a couple books a DJ or a venue that furnishes a lot of cool stuff, like a fog machine and spotlights!
San Fernando Rey de España mission in San Bernardino. We're so lucky to live in an area with such beautiful, historic edifices.
Gina & Patrick's little girl loves cameras...lucky me!!
G&P's other little girl applying makeup. Darlingest shot ever.
Both girls hiding out in the closet!
Rather than fight daylight following their ceremony, Gina & Patrick opted to check each other out beforehand (pictured :D) and do some of their photos before the madness began!
I could NOT get over how adorable this little dude was in his teeny tiny suit!! I wanted to just eat him up!
There were children everywhere at this wedding.
Patrick's mom was on Cloud 9 surrounded by all the babies!
Gina entering the mission's candlelit chapel.
One of Gina's relatives had a beautiful prayer shawl that I was admiring.
It must've been at least 90 degrees in that chapel and all the kids just wilted away and skipped the hour-long ceremony entirely.
Well, maybe not ALL the kids!
CAKE
This cracked me up: The reception was held at Palacio Torres in Sylmar and even though it was a private party and there was no other business at the venue that night, they had security stationed at the entrance. Rough neighborhood, I guess. But what was funny was they also had a guy hovering over the cake. I guess when there's that many children in attendance?? Lol!
A gorgeously romantic First Dance, complete with bubbles, fog, and a spotlight. Love it!
WOOOOHOOOO!!! This crazy guest won the centerpiece and was SO INTO getting her whole table to dance!
Yumm-aayyy!
Gina with her papa.
Gina's little girl watching the father-daughter dance.
Patrick's mom trying not to let her emotions get the better of her during the mother-son dance.
If you're debating whether or not to incorporate parent-child dances into your own wedding, I think Patrick's mom's expression should speak for itself on that matter...!
I've never been to a wedding where there were two bouquet tosses: one for the unmarried ladies, and one for the married ones as well. The "prize" for the married women was "the lucky lady who catches it is gonna be getting some action tonight!" And look how enthusiastically they leaped for it after hearing THAT!!
That's the look of a married woman!
