WEDDING PREPARATION
WEDDING PREPARATION
The day began with Marisela getting ready alongside her closest friends and family. These moments are always some of the most meaningful — filled with excitement, anticipation, and those quiet in-between emotions before everything begins.
Ricky spent the morning preparing with his groomsmen, sharing laughs and enjoying the calm before the day’s big moments.
CEREMONY
CATHOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY
Their ceremony took place in a beautiful Catholic church, where tradition and emotion came together in a truly meaningful way. As Marisela walked down the aisle, you could feel the weight of the moment — one they had both been waiting for.
The ceremony was filled with heartfelt exchanges, sacred traditions, and the presence of family and friends who came to witness the beginning of their new chapter together.
COUPLES SESSION
COUPLES SESSION AT POMONA COLLEGE & MOUNTAIN MEADOWS
After their ceremony, we made our way to Pomona College for the first part of Marisela and Ricky’s couples session. The timeless architecture, open walkways, and soft natural light created a romantic, editorial feel — the perfect setting for capturing those quiet, just-married moments.
This portion of the day allowed them to slow down, take everything in, and truly be present with each other before the celebration continued.
We then transitioned to Mountain Meadows, where the scenery offered a completely different atmosphere. The open views, natural light, and warm tones added a soft, organic feel to their portraits — creating a beautiful contrast to the classic elegance of Pomona College.
Together, both locations brought a perfect balance to their gallery — blending timeless architecture with natural, romantic landscapes.
