Linda and Tommy's Wedding!

Happy Thursday everyone :)

I wanted to share a wedding I shot a while back with all of you. In order for you to get the perfect picture of how awesome Linda is, think of Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian all rolled into one.

I was invited along to shot with a friend and great photographer Jeremy Lucero. We had a great time, and the lighting was gorgeous from start to finish.

I know this post is short today, because we are cookin' up some good stuff here at Gavin Wade Photographers for all of you! We are days away from releasing several things that we hope you'll love!

For now, I'll leave you with a quote that I thought summed up why we love what we do, and why we take our jobs so seriously :)

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile." -Franklin P. Jones

Here are some images...we hope you enjoy the ride!

Ponte Family Estate and Winery: Megan and Jason

Helllloooo Everyone!! Ms. Erin here :)

Normally blogging is Gavin's thing because he loves it so much. But tonight I had to rip the keyboard out of his hands, give him the TV remote, and tell you all about the wedding I shot this weekend with Jeremy Lucero out at the Ponte Family Estate & Winery in Temecula.

It was such a great time! You see, Erin likes wine, and Erin likes shooting weddings. So this day was just too good to be true!

I loved the bride, Megan. She was so cute and such a goof ball; we definitely clicked and had a great time! Jason, with his super cool hair-do, was such a sweetheart. I was blown away by how calm and collected he was the entire day. You could tell there was no shred of doubt in his mind; he KNEW that Megan was it!

Before I go, I thought it was a cool little fun fact about Meg and Jason...their first date was on 04/04/06, he proposed on 04/04/08, and they were married on 04/04/09! How crazy is that?!

They met in college actually. Welllll, to be more specific they met in the college parking lot! It was raining and she offered him her umbrella...and the rest they say, is history! I was blessed to have the opportunity to capture their historic day on what was a gorgeous afternoon.

I'll let Gavin get off the couch now and return him to normal blogging duties....for now ;)

Anaheim Hills Golf Course: Chau and Mohammed

Happy Monday everyone!

Last weekend I had the privilege of shooting with Jeremy Lucero and together we captured Chau and Mohammed's wedding out in the hills of Anaheim at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course (which quickly reminded me of how much I "love" the 91 freeway...I digress).

You don't need to be the head cashier at Walmart to believe me when I tell you that these two come from drastically different cultures; both steeped in tradition that goes back for thousands of years! (I shop at Walmart...nothing but love for the blue light special!)

The ceremony earlier in the day was a Chinese tea ceremony, and the actual wedding ceremony was a traditional Muslim ritual, with most of it being read in Farsi and translated into English by the officiant. I must say, it was one of the most culturally enriched ceremonies I've ever been to! Each sentence, each gesture, and each item on the wedding table had a purpose and a meaning! It was such a pleasure to capture each of these meaningful moments of a couple that loves one another more deeply than even the most decadent of ceremonies could every convey. :)

Here are a few of the faves from the day! Make it a great week!







The one up on the left is probably one of my favorite images that I've ever taken! This one has Chau written all over it :)
