Murrieta Wedding Photography | Adriana & Skylar | Part 1

So over a year ago (December 2010) I get an email from someone saying that she's getting married and wants to book me for 2012! It seemed forever ago and yet - here is that same sweet girl - beautiful, happy, joyful and married already.... Their engagement is here.

I feel like I made new good friends - I just love weddings. Adriana was a dream bride who had her dream wedding. She was so relaxed the whole day and you could tell she loved her single minute of her day. It was a joy and honor to be such an intimate part of their day. Thankful for my good friend Carri Roman of Roman Studio Photography who shot with me. She's an amazing photographer herself who shoots with me when Jessy cannot. Besides, we have a ton of fun together...

Venue: Murrieta Methodist Church
Reception: Wedgewood, Fallbrook

Awesome makeup by Monique Tinahui... she is specifically trained for photography and it shows...Monique also did her hair.

...and here's the beginning of the day that begins the rest of her life with Skylar....

Audie's side of their story:

We met when I was in middle school, through the church we attend. Skylar was popular and all the girls loved him, but I was not interested AT ALL!!! I actually disliked him very much, but when he came back to church as a counselor when I was a junior in high school…Something changed. All the sudden I was in love and I knew from the moment we started dating was that he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

beautiful gown - funny story - she got it all on and forgot the slip - that was comical!
i love these next two pictures - not sure why but i do
carri caught this with the girls in the back - love it...
I loved the bright light...this was around 9:00 a.m.

Carri went to Adriana's Grandma's home to photograph the men - it was around the corner - she did an awesome job...here's Skylar

Skylar's side...

Although I may have known Adriana before, it was not until I came back from my 2 years in college that I noticed what an amazing woman she had become. I knew as soon as I saw her that I wanted to know what really made her tick. She was an angel and I wanted her to shine her light in my life.

more soon...I'll leave you with this beautiful portrait of Adriana...
