Just in time for Derring and Johnathan to become husband and wife. It was a cool and mostly sunny day in Acton, CA where there ceremony was being held.

Ceremony: Foursquare Church
Reception: The Plaza Banquet Hall

The wedding was full of happy emotions. Tears of happiness and smiles were flying all over the place. I don’t think you could have found a happier couple! It was a pleasure to get to shoot their wedding. Congrat Derring and John!

On to the photos!

The guys were getting ready is a small room… well small for 8 guys that is. I thought this shot was pretty funny. One of the groomsmen was pretty tall and needed a little help.

Amazingly due to other circumstances they pulled this wedding together in about 2-3 weeks! It turned out great and Clarissa even had her dress! After the ceremony and family photos, we spent time throughout the park doing Bride and Groom shots. Here are some of the photos I captured this past weekend. Congrats Clarissa and Calvin.

If you saw my previous post I traveled up to Seattle with my husband last weekend so I’ve been short on editing time. Anyway, here are more photos from the wedding in Anaheim. Congrats Kim and Johnny! I’m glad I got to help capture your day.

I had a great time shooting this weeding with Mark Leonard. The reception was a blast… people were having fun out on the dance floor and I was able to capture some great candid moments.

It was a very hot but great day…full of emotion and love.

It was great to be able to be there and help capture the special memories of their day.

I haven’t had time this week to go through everything I shot, so here is part 1 of their wedding.
