It was such an honor to witness the amazing wedding of Minerva and Ruben, from beginning to end.  Every part of the day flowed so seamless and effortless into the next creating a magical energy that you couldn’t help be touched by.  We started off the day photographing bridal prep at Minerva’s house–what an amazing dress!  We followed that with a beautiful ceremony at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Claremont, CA.

After their “I Do’s” Minerva, Ruben, and the rest of the party headed to Arlington Garden in Pasadena for  party pictures and romantics.  This hidden little gem of a garden offered so many visual/compositional highlights that I didn’t want the romantic photos to ever end.  Finally, it was off to party at LA Banquets-Galleria Ballroom also located in Pasadena.  This stunning Victorian-esque venue featured amazing chandeliers, incredibly high ceilings, and quite possibly some the best food I’d ever had at a wedding! Congratulations Minera and Ruben, your love is inspiring.
