Matt & Diana Part 2 | California Wedding Reception

When I met with Matt and Diana at my home we discussed where we would take pictures as their reception was at a community center.  It was super nice but not really a good venue for pictures…Diana said she would go wander around the area and see what she could find!!  I sent her in pursuit of pretty buildings and trees (as we were shooting from 12:30 to 2:30 in the middle of the day…) – look what she found!!!!!  She sent my pictures from her cell phone - I was amazed!  It was perfect.  I just LOVE their pictures!

 

What a beautiful venue with a handsome groom and gorgeous bride….

 

This is Lytle Creek – it was soooo beautiful – I want to shoot here again!  It was the perfect setting for them and even did well in full sunlight!!  This tree shade was perfect! 

 

this next picture was shot with my 85mm at 2.0 – that lens is amazing!  So glad I bought it! This is one of my favorites….She was just standing in this spot waiting for something and it looked sooo pretty – I love how she is holding her dress!  Plus is she beautiful or what???  I still think she should be in a magazine!

 

just a gorgeous couple…can’t wait to see their kids!!!  Matt was so good with Stephanie…of course Stephanie did not want him meeting about wedding photos – she asked him to play with her about five times – and when we were done he did!   I think they played pet shop or something!  He is hilarious too!

More awesome side shots from Carri:

 

Jessy is usually my side shot girl – this is so Jessy –esq…Carrie was just perfect – love this picture.

 

this is my favorite pic Carri took – I love it!!!

           

so sweet and happy together.  She told me yesterday that he is just the best!  and you can certainly tell that Matt thinks the same thing!

        

I love how the wind is blowing her awesome dress!  it was like a parachute – awesome!  I think Matt was holding tight so she wouldn’t fly away…

we left there – I could have stayed longer…it was so pretty and we only went to a small part – but the fun awaited…

off to get bustled and hit the reception….love her dress..
