california wedding {L} pt 2 bridal party, details, & ceremony

LAMONT WEDDING 

A few months ago I was incredibly honored to be asked to shoot this precious couples wedding ... and not only did I get the honor of being the one to capture their special day, 

I got to do it in BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA! 

This couple has devoted their lives to serving people at a Christian camp based in 

BASS LAKE, California. 

It is a BEAUTIFUL location in the mountains. 

ABOVE: This was by far MY FAVORITE image from the entire wedding. 

We were walking down the side of this mountain headed to the reception after the ceremony, and I saw these amazing shadows. It was such a magical moment!!! 

The ceremony was up the side of a mountain, even cars could not drive up the road.... signs were posted all along the walk to guide you to the site. 

The bride had been collecting beautiful vintage and antique pieces to decorate with

LOOK at this PRECIOUS ring bearer..

youngest ever.. :) 

This was one of the most beautiful moments I have EVERY witnessed at a wedding. As the pastor was giving the vows teh groom bent down on one knee to express his deepest emotion and commitment to his bride. You could tell it was not a rehearsed moment but a beautiful testimony of his love to her. 

Then the bride knelt to continue to the vows. My eyes were watering, I could barely continue taking pictures. 

AN INCREDIBLE view of the ceremony site from the other side!

california wedding {L} Bride and Groom and THE BIG REVEAL

GORGEOUS California wedding. 

One of the greatest honors, capturing this amazing couples special day. 

This precious young woman used to babysit my kiddos, before she moved hundreds of miles away ... 

I was able to capture their engagement a couple of months ago in Houston. 

May 18th I flew to California to Bass Lake where this incredible couple spends their life serving others at a summer camp. 

They had their ceremony at the camp on the side of a hill (those images coming SOON...) 

BREATHTAKING....photographers dream wedding!!! 

For now, BRIDE & GROOM and their very special private REVEAL 

DUN... DUN... DUN.... 

THE BIG REVEAL .... 

I LOVE that this bride and groom did away with tradition and chose instead to give themselves the gift of a pre ceremony REVEAL. 

They were able to see each other for the first time in private. It was a truly priceless moment they will cherish forever. It was an honor to make that moment stand still for them to reflect on forever!

It doesn't get any more wonderful than capturing life's perfect moments for a friend. 

Both "mommy" & "daddy" are very special friends of our family's. 

Like an uncle and aunt to our own kiddos, so that made this day very special!!!
