Riverside CA Courthouse Weddings and Elopements Photographer
I've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing couples who are truly wonderful people. You know, the kind of people you think of when you say there are still good folks out there?
Zach and Madison wanted a “Me & You” only experience, with their parents and siblings present for their ceremony. We started the day at The Riverside Gateway, where they performed their ceremony with their witnesses (parents), and then we headed off to downtown Riverside, CA, for portraits.
With so many options available for celebrating marriages, it's essential to take a moment and consider what truly matters on your Big Day. This introspective approach will help you find the perfect way to celebrate your love.
If you opt for a quick elopement, it doesn't mean you have to do it alone (or as a duet). It also doesn’t mean you have to invite anyone either ( I can be your witness; I'm just saying). And it certainly doesn't mean you can't have some stunning wedding day photography to cherish your special day. It's just as meaningful as a big wedding with 300 guests on the list! It's even more special because it's a day for the two of you! You are doing it your way!
Your Civil Ceremony, aka Courthouse wedding, is relatively quick and easy when you opt to have it at a courthouse in Riverside, CA! We have the room to take some quick photos of you and your family.
M+Z are both Deputy District Attorneys who met at work during their training. They work at different offices. After their second date, they became inseparable. They wanted a low-key, intimate experience, so they exchanged vows with their parents and siblings. It couldn't have been any more perfect. We drove to the Historical Riverside Courthouse in California, where most of their romantic portraits were taken.
Choosing a quick elopement doesn't mean you're alone. It's a decision made by two people in love, and it's just as meaningful as a grand wedding with 300 guests. It's even more special because it's a day dedicated to the two of you and your unique love story.
I love involving my groom in the process; they always have a blast, resulting in natural, organic laughter.
“ THE FINAL RESULT BELOW WAS WORTH THE LAUGHTER “
We took a short walk, not too far from the courthouse, as we needed to return to The Mission Inn Hotel, where their cake and champagne awaited. Their parents and sister were waiting to celebrate for dinner.
We hopped back in our cars and made our way down the road to The Mission Inn Hotel for cake and champagne before my time ended.
