Elyssa and Jordan McCormack Wedding at Los Willows in North San Diego County in Southern California

by Steve Lee· August 11, 2017· in Uncategorized· 0 comments
I was lucky enough to travel to California to capture Elyssa and Jordan’s wedding at the beautiful Los Willows in Fallbrook, California in Northern San Diego County. We started the day in the Bridal Cottage, where Eylssa and her wedding party got ready for the big day. The ceremony was held outdoors on the meadow, where I was able to capture the emotional groom and bride as she walked down the aisle. It was important for Elyssa and Jordan to get lots of portraits, so we spent some time during both cocktail hour and dinner to walk around the venue for creative portraits. The estate had so many great locations to choose from! The reception was held in the Pavillion where the guests enjoyed dinner, toasts, and dancing. The night ended with Elyssa and Jordan making their grand exit as the guests blew bubbles to send them off in style! Special thanks to the wonderful staff and Los Willows and Amanda from Sassy Little Bee for coordinating the amazing day and making me feel at home at a new location!

Rachel got ready for the big day with her bridesmaids at JW Marriott Downtown , while Michael and the boys got ready at home. The ceremony took place at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart where we caught some great photos of Rachel laughing as she walking down the aisle. After the ceremony, we headed down to the Houston Graffiti Building to get some creative portraits with the couple and the wedding party. The reception was at Crystal Ballroom, where Rachel and Michael went to their high school prom together 11 years ago! The ballroom looked amazing as always with flowers and linen by Blooming Gallery and cake by Who Made The Cake. After the introduction, the couple shared their first dance and then ate dinner catered by Sambuca Restaurant. The party continued with the cake cutting, toasts and parents dances. With JPL Entertainment providing the music, the guests danced all evening, including the New Orleans Second Line Parade! The night ended with the couple exiting with rose petals and driving back to JW Marriott Downtown in a classic VW Van.   Ceremony: Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart  |  Reception: Crystal Ballroom  |  Hair and Make-up: Blushing Beauty by Nikki  |  Flowers and […]

Taylor and Mark Appling Wedding at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church and La Colombe d’Or

“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family.” Taylor and Mark met during their Baylor Law School years at a karaoke night in Waco. “We sang, laughed, danced, shared stories, traveled, and, along the way, we fell in love and decided to spend the rest of our lives together. So, LET’S GET MARRIED!”  And they picked a beautiful November day in Houston for their wedding. I first took photos of Taylor and her bridesmaids getting ready at the La Colombe d’Or. Then we headed to St. Paul’s Methodist Church for beautiful photos of the wedding party outside. After the ceremony, we had plenty of time to take amazing outdoor portraits, including a special request by the father of bride, a photo of the couple with the classic getaway car! The reception followed back at La Colombe d’Or where the couple shared their first dance, as well as the father daughter and mother son dances. After dinner, the dance floor was packed all night long as they celebrated with friends and family. The night ended with a grand sparkler exit. Special thanks to Caroline and Kelsey at the Belle of […]
