Kelly & Keith’s Wedding – Vellano Country Club

holly — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:37:28 +0000

Kelly & Keith’s wedding was held at the Vellano Country Club in Chino Hills – Gorgeous location!! We’ve got some more weddings coming up there and are really looking forward to them! Kelly & Keith are a super adorable couple who we have enjoyed getting to know. We got so many awesome pictures of their wedding that it truly is difficult to choose which ones to post, but I did my best.

The wedding was coordinated by the fabulous Kelly Michelle and her team at Kelly Michelle Weddings. They were beyond awesome and so amazing to work with!! It was also video’d by Vantage Point Productions. Another joy to work with.

There were seriously SOOOO many adorable shots of Kelly laughing and enjoying herself during the ceremony. It was great to see a bride so joyful and excited!

I shot this next shot in a little 2 ft x 3 ft space in a bar where there were tons of people and STUFF all around, but there was gorgeous light coming in from the window! I think Kelly probably thought I was crazy until she saw the sequence of images I took there. :)

There were no shortage of locations to photograph at this venue, however, we chose the parking lot for this next image. Yeah, not likely you would have guessed that– but we are always looking for the best light and getting creative with where to shoot!

I love how this shows off her shoes!

Their first dance as husband and wife.

It was an amazing day with not only an amazing couple, but a great team of vendors to work with. Kelly & Keith – thank you for allowing us to take part in one of the most special days in your life.

Melissa & Nate’s Wedding – San Diego Wedding Photographers

Melissa & Nate’s wedding was held at the beautiful Paradise Point Resort in Mission Bay. This place is one of Donny & I’s favorite local resorts to vacation at with the family (right by Sea World), so we were excited to have a wedding there as well. Donny shot this wedding on his own and had an awesome time!

I love the details he got of the shoes.

The ceremony was held overlooking the bay, with a tropical setting all around.

Donny had a lot of fun with our infrared camera!

Thank you Melissa & Nate! May your wedding be the start to a beautiful life together!

Kayleigh & Lance’s Wedding-Temecula Winery Wedding Photography

Kayleigh and Lance are one of those couples that make your heart melt. From the instant you meet them, you know that they truly love each other and have a heart full of love ready to dispense to others. Their wedding was held at the Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula – a gorgeous location that we love shooting at. As usual, we started off photographing the bride’s details and documenting her getting ready for the big day.

The best man.

The ceremony was held outside by the vineyards.

I love the emotion caught as Kayleigh’s dad walked her down the aisle.

A sweet moment during the ceremony.

The men.

The beautiful ladies.

As all brides are – Kayleigh was radiant on her wedding day. I could have spent all day just photographing her! :)

The adorable couple together.

Their reception was held in the barrel room of the winery. Such an awesome setting for an intimate gathering.

Their first dance.

Kayleigh and Lance – Thank you for letting us be a part of your awesome union as a family. It was truly a joy to get to know you both! Many blessings upon your marriage!

Hope – 3 months old – Inland Empire Children’s Photographers

Hope was a little cutie to photograph! Her parents were so attentive to her and you just know that she is going to be so well taken care of!

She was very into sticking her tongue out! LOL. I loved it!

I love this age.

She fell asleep for just a little part of the session. It was short-lived, but we took advantage of it.

Happy baby!

Hope you enjoyed little Hope! I know we did!

Barton Family Shoot

holly — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:32:07 +0000

This family is awesome! There are 7 kids – God help their mom, and they are all so polite and kind! They were a joy to photograph! We have been trying to get this photo shoot together for what feels like years, but scheduling both our schedules with the parents schedules and all 7 kids/young adults… not so easy! We were so excited to finally be able to create some timeless memories for their family and for their walls!

My favorite style of family portraits below! :)

And, while we are at it… I know there are some of you who have yet to schedule your family portraits!! (I’m right there with you!) We only have a couple more time slots available for the year- we fill up quickly… So if you are procrastinating, procrastinate no more. Give us a call!

Krue- Southern California Newborn Photographers

Little Krue is a most wonderful addition to the Heavenly Portraits family! Ok, well, really he is an addition to Hannah & Ryan Morais’ family, but we consider all of our babies part of the HP fam! We photographed Hannah & Ryan’s wedding & engagement session a few years back – and their maternity session as well (that one is still yet to be blogged). They are an incredibly kind couple and their little baby was a JOY to photograph! He was so precious – and at only 6 days old, I think I was his first play-date! Well… I played, he mainly slept.

Sierra & Rick’s Wedding – Southern California Wedding Photographers – San Dimas Wedding

holly — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:38:05 +0000

Sierra & Rick are such sweethearts. Not only are they simply adorable, but their son and their love for him was evident throughout the day. It was such a pleasure getting the opportunity to document their family’s commitment and union together. Their ceremony took place at the Puddingstone Resort and their reception at the Glendora Country Club. Can I just start off by saying that I LOVE her shoes!!

During the ceremony, their son decided to take center stage right at THE kiss! Kind of awesome if you ask me!

Michelle & Matt – Southern California Wedding Photographers

holly — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:07:24 +0000

Well, we have been so busy PHOTOGRAPHING weddings that we simply haven’t had time to blog them. However, it is much overdue and I can’t wait to show off some of our fabulous weddings! Michelle & Matt’s wedding was held at one of our favorite venues – Humphrey’s Estate in Temecula! We had been looking forward to photographing Michelle & Matt since their engagement session- they are an amazing couple and so wonderful to photograph! This first image is a puzzle that Matt sent Michelle right before the ceremony. So sweet!

As part of their ceremony they put together this awesome puzzle! It was very unique and special!

Seriously, what other venue has a real ride-on train? LOL. Love it!

I can’t tell you the amount of adorable pics we got of these two! Weddings are so much fun!

Michelle apparently LOVES chocolate… hence the chocolate cake. A girl after my own heart.

Kailey – Southern California Newborn Photographers

This is the newest edition to Kerry & Ira’s family – little Miss Kailey! Kerry & Ira were one of our past wedding couples and Kerry is actually an amazing wedding coordinator here in So Cal! If you are looking for an event coordinator, you can find her at de Luxe Weddings and Events.

Back to Kailey… Soon after Kerry found out she was pregnant she called me and I began anxiously awaiting this fun photo shoot! She was a little doll to photograph! Here are some of my faves.

Kelly & Keith’s shoot was a lot of fun! They are so natural in front of the camera and I was able to shoot them in one of my favorite areas to photograph. I loved their interaction and adorable smiles and am looking forward to their wedding coming up in just a few short weeks!!
