Artecia and Rich were married at Crestmore Manor in Riverside. I really like taking pictures there because of the way the manor and the little lake photograph. The details were nothing short of amazing thanks to Robert of Floral Sensations. Once he got started with Artecia planning the flowers he realized he wanted to be the official wedding coordinator too! He did an awesome job holding both titles and I couldn’t seem to get enough photos of all the great flowers and little embellishments. Artecia was probably one of my most easy going brides and she really just let me do my thing, which every photographer loves! The sky began to turn very dark and for a little while we were afraid that we were going to get rained out. But it didn’t rain and actually I really like the way the sky photographed such a pretty gray blue color. It seemed to be perfect with the theme of the wedding with all the twigs and branches and nests and eggs. There were so many photos I loved I posted quite a few here, so take some time to enjoy!
We started the day at The Mission Inn for some getting ready photos etc.
I love the expressions of Rich’s parents here
Instead of a traditional cake they had a cookie cake
Amazing pazookie’s served to each guest. . . so yummy!

Christine, you never fail to amaze me with your abilities. You captured everything. What a stunning wedding, I absolutely love the little details (in the trees). Oh, and how can anyone be as tiny as that bride is? Did you see how small her waist was? Crazy tiny.
At any rate, you’re the bomb!
Christine, I am always so blessed by your work. You are an amazing woman and your work is simply a reflection of the beautiful woman you are in on the inside as well as the outside. Feel lucky to have had you in our lives during our two spec ial weddings. ps. two more to go! :)
