Rio Bravo Country Club, Bakersfield, California Wedding Photography

One of the coolest things about my job as a lifestyle photographer is the ability to watch people grow & evolve and be able to capture those moments forever in time.

I’ve known Elena & JJ since they were young kiddos.  (Makes me feel a tad old… not too old… just a tad… hehe)

I’ve captured Elena as a graduate from high school & college.  Fast forward a few years and I heard she was engaged!  I was then blessed with the opportunity to capture the love between her and her husband-to-be in a fun, out-of-town beach engagement session.  

And now… here’s the wedding…  Elena was a beeeeeeeeeeeautiful bride and JJ was her ever-so-tall-dark&handsome groom. 🙂

Enjoy!

 (PS, shhh: I’m already counting down the days for a maternity, then a newborn, then a….. ok, ok, I’ll stop there hehe.) 😉
