If you know me, you know I love my hometown more than anything. I’ve lived here my entire life (well, basically! We moved into Temple City when I was 6 months old) and I plan to raise my own family here one day! : ) Sooo, when my high school friends Anna and Chris contacted me to photograph their wedding I was MORE than excited! Plus, the subject to their email was “To the Best Photographer WE Know…” so nice!

Working with Anna and Chris was such a treat and they reminded me SO much of home. We decided to take their bridals near our area, in the San Gabriel Valley. We were able to hit three spots that day: first, a building we often pass by in the city, second, the church where Anna’s parents were married (so special!), and third, the park where Anna and Chris spent many of their high school and college weekends.

How blessed are these two, to be able to marry their best friends! They have a lovely story, but I’ll save that for their wedding post! : ) Anna’s mom made her bouquet for this session. Can you believe it?! It is so beautiful!
