Several years ago, one of my best friends, Kay introduced me to her (basically) sister, Jenny who she had grown up with since they were kids. They are inseparable and their friendship is the type that every girl wants. Someone you can ALWAYS depend on and one that will have your back no matter what.

It was such a HUGE honor that Kay would recommend me to photograph Jenny & her fiancé, Danny’s wedding. I know how important wedding photography was to them and I did my very best to make sure all the little details and special moments were documented (and let me just say, there were A LOT of those perfect & priceless moments).

Jenny is one of the most kind, soft hearted and humble brides I’ve ever worked with. Jenny & Danny drove down to San Diego for their engagement session & I had some time to really get to know them. First of all, they surprised me with wine and these delicious, beautiful little assortment of desserts (SO good)! And we laughed the entire time during the shoot. I just kept thinking to myself, these two are PERFECT for each other.

The morning of the wedding set such a perfect tone for the rest of the day. I had met a few of Jenny’s bridesmaids before, so I knew how gorgeous & so sweet they were. I knew it was going to be a FUN day! When Jenny finished getting her wedding dress on, she walked out and saw her bridesmaids for the first time….and yes, there were tears. They gathered together and prayed over her and Danny’s wedding and marriage together and yes, there were even MORE tears (my eyes may have been getting a little misty eyed too)!

Jenny & Danny decided to do a first look so they could spend a little time together and get some more bride & groom photos before guests started to arrive. I’m SO glad we did because the venue was absolutely gorgeous and we were able to snag some stunning shots of these two, who both looked flawless.

Pat is always with the groom & groomsmen in the morning while everyone is getting ready, so I hadn’t had a chance to meet the guys yet. But I have to note that once we did Jenny & Danny’s first look and the bridal party came out to join for photos…I was SHOCKED at how awesome & supportive this group of guys were! There were a couple who kept going out of their way to help fluff Jenny’s wedding dress and help out before even being asked. This goes a LONG way and you’d be surprised at how rare this is… so thank you guys!!

The entire reception was so much fun, but one of my favorite moments from the night (I’m a little biased because I love Kay) was when she caught Jenny’s bouquet. And guess what…now she’s engaged!! Jenny & Danny danced the night away together and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their beautiful wedding at Altadena Town and Country Club!
