Caleb & Alyssa’s wedding was held on a gorgeous August Saturday morning at their church, Grace Valley Christian Center in Davis, CA. The entire day was filled with lots of excitement, love, and a beautiful peace. The team at Grace Valley are wedding experts – and so organized! It’s wonderful to see how so many members of the church use their talents to put together an amazing wedding.
One of my favorite moments of the day is when Caleb and Alyssa saw each other. Huge smiles lit up their faces. As a matter of fact, I don’t think they stopped smiling once they saw each other. I don’t blame them though! It was incredible to see two people so in love. To top it off, they were surrounded by so many people who loved & cared for them – I think one of Alyssa’s family photos had over 50+ people in one shot! Love that!
Thank you Caleb and Alyssa for asking me here for your special day, I enjoyed every minute of it. A special thanks to Josh, Ara, and Liya for your assistance! And last but not least, Yuliya, my WONDERFUL second shooter, thank you for shooting along side me. (I think being birthday twins makes us an even better team! 😉 )
Now, on to the photos!
Alyssa, you are one stunning bride.
They opted for a First Look, it was just perfect!
These sorts of photos are my favorite. Beautiful couple, fantastic lighting, big smiles… Yes please!
Caleb had a pretty spiffy looking group of guys at his side!
Nice air guys!
And next we have Alyssa’s ladies, how gorgeous do they look!
The colors were perfect for a summer wedding, they really popped!
Before the ceremony started we had time to sneak in a few more portraits. So glad we took these! Believe me, you will never regret making a little extra time for photos on your wedding day, even just an extra 5 or 10 minutes can produce some of my favorite shots!
Caleb & Alyssa had a beautiful Christ centered ceremony…
They’re married!
The last part of the day was a rose petal send off. Loved these shots!
Congratulations Caleb & Alyssa! I hope you enjoyed your Bodega Bay honeymoon! May God richly bless your marriage!
