Crestmore Manor Riverside Wedding | Gabriel and Aubrey | Temecula Valley Wedding Photographer
Gabriel and Aubrey have known each other since around 2005 and started dating seriously in January of 2010. When asked when did she first know she wanted to marry him, she said that she just knew he was the groom! She loves his eyes, his soft side behind his tough guy appearance, his love for his Mom and just basically everything about him! Gabriel knew he wanted to marry her right away. He loves her eyes, her smile and the way she says EEEEEEE when she is excited...also the way she jumps when she gets scared watching a movie!
They love doing dinner and a movie together, 49er games and working out!
They have a sweet baby girl who you can see more of in their engagement photos below....

Venue: Crestmore Manor Riverside

I had never even heard of this wedding venue - it is gorgeous. I actually think in that building is a bunch of offices. The wedding was held behind the building outside by a fountain and the reception was directly behind that. It really is a great venue. She got ready in some nearby cabins around the corner that are also part of the Riverside Park system. It really was such a great venue. There was an organic farm next door as well but somehow they blocked us from going in there!! I wish we could have walked through...but maybe that's why they put up the fence haha.
I just loved Aubrey from the day I met her - she loves photography and I hope she takes it up someday! Enjoy their day!













Aubrey - I'll have your PASS site soon :)))) xoxoxoxox

Jake | Temescal High School Senior Portrait | Canyon Lake California Photographer
Jake is my neighbor - still remember meeting him the first time! Sweetest family - we all became good friends - did school together through junior high....
He's a stud - plays water polo - or did...at Temescal High School. Love his CIF ring. Can't wait to see what his life holds. He has always been a hard worker and a great kid- no surprise to me that he did so well in high school - excited for him for college - as he continues in water polo...and works toward his career.
We went to a place I recently shot a wedding - seemed perfect for a guy...and then a field that Jessy found nearby...

Murrieta Mesa High School Senior | Kelsey | Murrieta Valley Senior Photography
We met Kelsey at FBC through some friends of Jessy's. We loved her from the beginning. She has a sweet, servant heart. She always texts me and tells me I am on her mind and what can she pray for me for? She is an amazing girl, daughter and friend. I actually remember Kelsey at 10 or 11 years old from All Stars softball. Jessy's team played their team and I remember there were 2 Kelsey's hahaah - she was one of the Kelsey's. We won a game, and they won a game so it's all good:))) We also remember her from playing street football in travel ball at 12 or 13 in Park City Utah!!! Jessy remember trading pins with her too! Random!!!
We are excited to see what the Lord does with her life! She's a beautiful girl outside and inside - and is the real deal. Thankful for her and her sweet family.
Every single time I shoot a senior I am reminded that it is my favorite subject to shoot. I love being able to capture them as them at this moment in their lives.
so...This is Kelsey...enjoy
