On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Lizette and Riley’s wedding. The wedding was held at a church in long beach with a reception following. Despite the hot weather and a few minor scheduling issues, the whole day was so full of love and a wonderful time was had by all. Lizette and Riley are blessed to have amazing families that get along wonderfully and it’s clear by watching them how in love they are! Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the day.

First up getting ready…

I followed the girls around all morning while Ben went along with the guys to get shots of them as well. The great thing about having two shooters is the ability to be in two places at once! I love this one.

The beautiful bride, all ready to go!

And the handsome groom. He really knew how to pull off the suave tux look!

The ceremony was very touching and heartfelt. Lizette and Riley wrote their own vows.

After the ceremony we had some time before the reception for the portraits! One of my favorite parts of the day!

Right after being announced at the reception they went into their first dance.

Lizette and her father shared an incredibly emotional father daughter dance.

And last but not least a couple of the reception details.

Lizette & Riley thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your very special day! I wish you all the best in the future and congratulations!
