Traci & David were wed at The Grove Redlands. The backdrop of the southern California mountains at The Grove are a gorgeous wedding venue to exchange their vows. I was the second photographer for Sara Whittaker of Desert Born Studios for this wedding. I spent most of my time with David & his guys. I loved that they brought hookah to smoke and relax before the wedding: it’s how many of their friendships were formed and made for an easy-going vibe before the wedding. It’s a joy to be a witness to love and to see how everyone interacts in celebrating the couple: from their parents to their best friends, I love capturing the hugs, the laughter, the tears. I’m here for it all.
