Shawna and Eddie's Wedding

Shawna and Eddie along with their two beautiful boys, got married at a charming little venue called The Clark Estate located in Santa Fe Springs, CA. It was refreshing to see a bride so relaxed on her wedding day. She was the coolest bride ever, letting me take her into piles of dusty leaves during their portrait session. Eddie too did not hesitate when asked...they just went for it. We all dusted each other off afterwards, and even helped to clean Shawna's shoes. Thank you for being so adventurous and game.

My favorite weddings are held in the Fall because of the richness of colors. Shawna adorned this location with beautiful florals by Art With Nature Design. She used burnt oranges, burgundy's, yellow and chocolate. One of my favorite details of their day was the candy station. It was all chocolate. They provided their guests with mason (their last name is Mason...cute idea) jars to fill up with the candy. Needless to say, the station was devoured in zero to sixty seconds.

Shawna and Eddie's guests really knew how to celebrate, partying all night long and filling up the dance floor. What a wonderful celebration it was. Congrats to the lovely couple! Best Wishes today and Always.

Eddie and Shawna's wedding pictures are beautiful and charming. You can see how Vanessa uses the lighting and color to capture each mood. I love the picture of Shawna by the wall and the one of Eddie and Shawna sitting under the large tree; both take you back in time. Then the blast of the fall colors displayed in the "Sweet Shoppe" and cake are warm and whimsical. Vanessa has done an exceptional job of capturing the memories that will be permanent forever. These pictures truly display Vanessa's artistic talent.
