Linda + Andy's Grand Wedding at Dolce de Villa Estate in Redlands, California
For Linda and Andy, Friday was a day to remember as they celebrated their love in the grand and glamorous Dolce Villa Estate. Intimacy is what they strived for and intimacy is what they got. Their small but effervescent wedding ceremony and reception was a testament to the value they place on creating strong relationships with those that mean the most to them. Despite the day not going exactly how they had planned, this couple didn't let it get to them and made the most of every single moment.
The light on this day added the magical touch it needed to fully show off all that this venue had to offer. From the stunning views in the garden to the gorgeous and luxurious architecture, it was truly a magical feeling being at Dolce Villa Estate. What an honor it was to be able to capture such a beautiful and unforgettable wedding. Doing both photo and video as a solo-hybrid shooter, I was able to truly capture all the special moments that happened on this day and turn it into beautiful memories to look back on.
Andy couldn't contain his emotions during their first look and had the biggest smile I'd ever seen on a groom. It was so amazing to witness and you could just feel the love he has for Linda and how much he absolutely admires her. When he saw her walk down the aisle, so much joy and content was felt by the groom and it definitely showed. In every glance shared by them, their love was so evident and real. Linda's vows were beautifully crafted and will definitely never be forgotten by Andy.
A piece of their love story was shared with each and every guest during this day and as a wedding photographer, it was so nice to witness and be a part of. It wasn't just a party, it was a celebration of love with those closest to the couple and that's always my favorite kind of wedding. Their memories will forever be cherished through these beautiful photos on this perfect day.
