I was so unbelievably honored when Wes and Alicia asked me to be their wedding photographer. When I first started dating my husband, he told me that Alicia and her family were like a second family to him. So when I first spent time with them, I knew they were really important to him and I was totally blown away by how they welcomed me as another sister/daughter/friend.
Naturally, we're both protective of our "little sisters" but as soon as I met Wes I could tell he was someone special. He treats Alicia so well and she in turn lovingly supports him as they both embark on their careers and milestones such as buying a home together. You can tell that they are the real deal!
I am so thrilled to share some of the photos from their beautiful November wedding in Oak View! A big thank you to the ever fabulous Shanna of Shanna Rene Photography for shooting alongside me and helping me capture a more complete picture of their special day.
Congratulations to the happy newlyweds!
Enjoy!
While I was taking photos of Alicia and her bridesmaids getting ready, Shanna snapped these great shot of the groom and his buddies.
The site, a private residence in Oak View, was simply a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony beneath this old Oak tree.
Alicia's amazing parents, Kate and Michael, did double duty and also performed the heartfelt and sweet ceremony. Of course, they also snuck in some dance time together!
I can't remember what exactly I was saying here, but it was something like, "Seriously?!" Could she be a more beautiful, radiant bride?
Oh yes, I'm also hilarious too.
It was truly all ages out on the dance floor and everyone, I mean, everyone hit the dance floor at least once. I *may* have been out there for every 80's song that the fantastic DJ Myron played!
Another great photo by Shanna!
Thank you to the fantastic vendors who helped the day come together!
