Pie Shoppe – Southern California Wedding Photography » Ye Olde Purveyor of Totally Sweet Wedding Photographie

Ok, so we all know crazy things can happen before or at weddings. There is a lot of moving parts and excited people. It is part of what makes weddings so fun! Well.. the night before Anita + Matt’s wedding Matt’s tooth fell out! Luckily Anita’s dad happens to be an excellent dentist and fixed him up real quick (what luck right?!)! Everyone joked about it all day and Matt even talked about it in his thank you speech at dinner. You have to admit, it makes a pretty great story! Matt and Anita were so much fun to work with through the whole process. Matt has an awesome sense of humor and Anita has one of the best laughs, it is a winning combo!

Vanessa and Steven were absolute naturals in front of the camera, we are convinced they are closet supermodels. Vanessa pretty much looks like a magic Disney princess/mermaid hybrid. While shooting above the beach, all of a sudden Vanessa jumps and Steven catches her in a Dirty Dancing-esc pose! Steven held her up there forever! That is some mad-skill! You can tell these two are so in love and a perfect match! We love this session by Monique!

We are dying over this gorgeous Maravilla Gardens wedding! You would never know from their smiles and overall gorgeousness that this day was unseasonably hot (it was nearly 100 degrees! That is crazy for Camarillo, which is usually known for its beautiful weather!). Samara and Steve had great attitudes about the warm weather and were just so excited to share their wedding day with their friends and families! These two have an amazing sense of humor and made individual hashtags for each table at their reception (such a good idea!) ! They both really love to be together and are happiest when they are by each others side. The wedding day included lots of amazing cookies (which is a tradition in Samara’s family). They ended up asking guests to take home boxes of cookies (which we are sure no one minded, yum!).

Lydia + Brody’s wedding was a small and intimate wedding full of beautiful moments. There was so much love in the chapel where they got married. The photo of Brody putting his hand to his heart when he saw Lydia for the first time still gets us a little misty eyed!

We would be remiss if we didn’t also mention that that their flower girl could not have been any cuter. She was absolutely hilarious and had the biggest personality! 🙂

Their reception was like a secret garden. Her dear friend did all the flower arrangements and every plate was different with a unique vintage feel to each of them. They made homemade ice cream and throughout the day you saw different family members churning the ice cream. It honestly felt like we were all at the most beautiful family gathering. One of our favorite moments was when all of Lydia’s closest friends starting dancing and they made a circle around Lydia and danced around her. It was such a natural and organic moment that had us smiling from ear to ear behind our cameras.

Today’s session is brought to you by one of our new team members here at Pie Shoppe, Kelley. Well, not exactly new. She has been training with us and shooting weddings with our other photographers all year! But, Kelley is just starting to book weddings for 2016. We think she is pretty awesome and we are sure you will too!

Hillary + CJ wanted to shoot in a rustic and natural spot that was local. We think Kelley found the perfect spot for them in Simi Valley. Enjoy!
