As Southern California wedding photographers, we had the absolute best time capturing every beautiful moment of Victoria and Austin’s wedding at The Homestead in Oak Glen. This cozy, rustic venue created an intimate and romantic setting- perfect for their special day. The rolling hills, giant oak trees, and the venue’s rustic charm provided a beautiful backdrop that complemented Victoria and Austin’s unique story. We felt truly honored to capture every detail, from their emotional first look down the aisle to the heartfelt vows they shared with family and friends. This wedding day was a celebration of love, resilience, and commitment to each other, and we couldn’t be happier to have been a part of it.

The Night Before

Our time with Victoria and Austin began the night before the wedding. We had the honor of documenting their intimate Chinese tea ceremony. This beautiful ceremony symbolizes respect, gratitude, and the blending of two families, making it a significant cultural tradition. Capturing this lovely evening was such an unique experience for us. We were thrilled to join the family for dinner afterward! Austin and Victoria welcomed us with open arms, making us feel like family, and we’re so grateful to now call them friends!

Getting Ready Moments

The wedding day began with beautiful moments as Victoria and her bridal party prepared in the charming bridal cottage. As Southern California wedding photographers, we love to capture the raw emotions of the day. From the teary-eyed first looks with parents to the excitement of the bridal party seeing the bride for the first time! Meanwhile, Austin, the groom, enjoyed a relaxed morning in his cottage, watching football and spending time with his closest friends. These candid moments set the tone for a memorable celebration, filled with love and emotions.

The Ceremony

The highlight of our day was the stunning ceremony set against the gorgeous mountains of Oak Glen. This beautiful back drop was perfect for Victoria and Austin’s emotional vows! It spoke to their journey of overcoming career obstacles, navigating a long-distance relationship, and the commitment to never giving up on each other- no matter how challenging life may get. Capturing these moments left us with tears in our eyes behind the cameras!

To celebrate their marriage, Victoria and Austin danced the night away under the enchanting string lights and candles at The Homestead in Oak Glen.
