Peter + Vanessa | Hidden Oaks Rancho Cucamonga California Wedding Photography | Sunset Session

 {Peter + Vanessa | BUGBEE-JOHNSON WEDDING | Upland, California | 06.16.12} As I was editing some of my very favorite sweetheart images from P + V's wedding day, I wanted to share a few! One of the biggest things that struck me about P  + V's wedding was their love and concern for those coming to celebrate with them! These two were so intentional as they planned their wedding ay and did their absolute best to cater to the different needs of guest, kept guests and family in the loop while planning, asked me a plethora of questions that would make sure they capitalized on as much photo time as they could--they were brilliant! Since they opted not to see each other before the ceremony, we knew we would have to really be attentive to the time constraints for their post-ceremony pictures without making guests wait too long. That interlude is often pretty tricky to navigate. After their reception grand entrance, we b-lined it straight to sunset picture time. While guests enjoyed food and bonding, we embraced the golden sunlight spilling into the back of the property! We whipped out some stellar images and wonderful memories as they relaxed and got ready to party with friends and family! | lkmlove you guys!
