Elizabeth and Trevor are so much fun! We did their engagement session in mid-October of last year. Their dog Baker joined us during their late afternoon in Glen Oaks, CA. This was his test to see if would be included in the wedding. Unfortunately, he failed the test during that shoot and he wasn't able to join us during the wedding.  But this didn't stop Elizabeth and Trevor from sharing their love for dogs.  From their place cards to their table assignments, there were references to Baker and other dog breeds that they love.

Everything about their wedding was beautiful. So much love and preparation went into it. The Bride and Groom added so many personal touches. Elizabeth is the nanny of the two flower girls. She had become part of their family. Which is why the family had opened up their property to this couple. With the help of Michelle from Sugar Pops Events, they had transformed their backyard and driveway into a beautiful and fun-filled venue.

The other unique twist that I simply adored, was the first look. This wasn't the traditional first look, where the groom gets to see the bride alone.  Instead Elizabeth wanted to capture the initial reaction of when her mom, maid of honor, bridesmaids and flower girls saw her in the wedding dress.  The jaw dropping and eyes filled with happy tears was simply joyous and full of adoration for the bride.  I was completely honored to have been able to capture this sweet moment of true friendships between women and girls.

Elizabeth and Trevor love each other, and love being married. They also loved every single guest that celebrated with them and vice versa. This was evident throughout the whole day.

Thank you both for inviting me to capture your day! I seriously enjoyed your day!
