I love moments like this. Spontaneous and sweet moments that now will be remembered as a part of the wedding, and being a family, or just having a good time.

Valerie and Ryan said "YES" to each other in the romantic Mission Inn in Riverside. 

The Bridal Room was filled with bridesmaids, friends and cute little girls laughing, twirling and running around.






And the first kiss as a married couple...

I have to give all the credit for planning and executing the creation of this collage to Sharon, the most amazing mom of nine. The collage is meant as a support of a dear family member.

What a better way to spend an afternoon than singing your favorite songs with your best friend and just "hanging out"? Thank you, Paloma and Helena, you were awesome and your singing delightful.

I'm a big fan of back lighting. Here are my first attempts with off-camera-flash. Love the look of it ...

Valerie - Boudoir Images

This was my first boudoir shoot. In the past, I'd say "Sorry, this is not my style. I don't do this kind of photography". Valerie, who is getting married in only 9 days, convinced me to give it a try, and I ventured into this new field. Thank you, Valerie. It was wonderful to work with. I'm looking forward to photograph your wedding.

Some trees on Victoria Avenue in Riverside were blooming white and pink and provided a nice background for a portrait of a young girl. Thank you, Janine. It was a pleasure working with you.
