Stefan + Justene // A Stones Throw Winery Wedding

Three date changes and two venue changes and Stefan and Justene are finally wed! Wow what a celebration it was too! A Stones Throw Winery (AKA Swanner House) was a beautiful outdoor setting with the rolling hills and wildflowers as the view for the ceremony and reception. It was even the perfect blue skies, sun shinny SoCal weather we all love!

Stefan and Justene, I am so incredibly happy for you two! You are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met and I was so honored to photograph your engagement session and wedding day.

Justene got ready with her girls at her parents house and surprised all her bridesmaids, parents and her grandma with gifts. Dog of Honor!!

Stefan got ready at his parents house and gave gifts to each of the guys.

During Stefan and Justene’s First Look they read their personal vows to each other.

Stefan’s Brother was FaceTimed in from the UK since he wasn’t able to make it due to Covid restrictions. Thank God for technology!

Becoming a Mama has given me a whole new perspective and respect for all the moms who’ve come before me. People can tell you “it’s life changing”, but you don’t know what it’s really like until you’re in it.

My sweet Cali Rae brings us so much joy and sweetness. She melts my heart when she says: “hi, I love you”… “bootiful Mama”… “oh goodness”… and gives us hugs and smooshes! She can be a rollercoaster of emotion, wearing her heart on her sleeve - she reminds me how to live in the moment.

Happy birthday, my love!! Travis, you are an amazing human. You are loving, thoughtful, poetic, passionate, playful, driven, curious, the amount of lyrics you know blows my mind, and your hugs soothe my soul. I love you Sugar Nugget.
