Emily and Art tied the knot at Rancho La Mission, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment you stepped onto the property, you could feel the love and joy in the air.
Their ceremony took place outside in the courtyard. The mission-style backdrop and surrounding trees created a romantic, peaceful vibe. Emily looked stunning as she walked down the aisle, and Art’s reaction seeing her was unforgettable.
After the ceremony, everyone moved into the barn for dinner and dancing. With string lights above and candles on the tables, the space felt cozy and welcoming. Their first dance under the warm wooden beams was such a sweet moment.
From the candid laughs during cocktail hour to the emotional toasts and dance floor fun, the entire day was full of genuine moments. One especially touching detail—Emily and Art had lost the only copy of a family photo from Art’s great-grandparents’ wedding day. Thankfully, I was able to work some editing magic and recreate it from a photo I had taken during their wedding.
Kind Words From The Couple:
“I honestly don’t know where to begin with how wonderful our whole working relationship with Anthony has been. We booked him for both our engagement and wedding, and not only are the photos AMAZING and something we will cherish for a lifetime, but Anthony is just such a solid dude. Before even finalizing him as our photographer he spent hours (literally 2 hours) getting to know us, answering our questions, and making sure we felt 100% confident in selecting him to capture our day. He was super available to us throughout our planning process and provided us with such great planning advice that helped our day run so smoothly. His website says he likes to feel ‘like a friend’ and that approach could not have been a more accurate description. We lost track of him throughout the night as he mingled with the crowd and he captured some of the BEST candid memories and all the specific shots we discussed prior to the event day. AND he went above and beyond to meet our needs, even when they were totally unexpected. After our wedding we realized we had lost a family photo (the only copy of my new husband’s great grandparents’ wedding day), but disaster was completely averted when Anthony was able to crop/clean/generally work magic to create a copy for us from a photo he had taken that day. I truly cannot overstate how EASY and wonderful working with Anthony throughout this whole process has been. 10/10, 5 gold stars, a warm hug and forehead kiss. Anthony deserves ALL the accolades.”
