St. Thomas More Catholic Church Wedding + Twin Oaks House & Gardens Wedding Reception

Erin and David’s lovely Spring wedding was on a beautiful sunshine filled day! We have been having so much rain here in Southern California that the countryside was just about as beautiful as I have ever seen it! Congratulations Erin & David- your wedding was magical!

FAVORITE WEDDING MOMENT:

My absolute favorite moment of their wedding day was the second that David saw Erin about to walk down the aisle. As soon as the church door opened there was so much emotion on his face and his best man kept looking at him with a huge smile on his face too- he just knew what a huge moment it was for David too.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING STYLE:

I was in love with the charming, vintage feel of the whole day. Twin Oaks House and Gardens is full of such beautiful scenery, it really is a photographer’s dream. All of the historic and vintage details, along with the soft color palette for the bridesmaids and bouquets made the theme of the wedding feel really cohesive.

OUR FAVORITE WEDDING PHOTO:

The light was absolutely beautiful after the ceremony. With sunshine filtering in through the trees, I just love the photos of the bride and groom walking down the path and sitting together on the vintage furniture placed on the front lawn.

The best thing about memories is making them…
running wild, laughing loud, and loving big.
No script, just joy — and maybe a little sand. 🌞

Six months. That in-between place.

Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.

She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.
