It was a Wild West Wedding at the incredible Strawberry Farms Golf Course in Irvine for Cari and Charlie.

Cari could not have been more proud to take on her new last name of West! These two make the perfect wild, west country couple and I adore them so very much.

January is such a gorgeous month for a wedding especially when it is at one of my favorite wedding venues, Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine, California.

I love that they both adore the Lord, Family and Country Music. Even their last named fit right into the barn them of Strawberry Farms, the Wild West Wedding. How cute is that!!!

The weather was perfect at Strawberry Farms Golf Club, the sky was filled with puffy clouds mixed with blue skies. This made for the perfect setting for wedding photos.

Newport Beach California LDS Temple Wedding

Sydney and Tauivi are the sweetest couple ever!

Their love story just melts my heart.

This darling wedding couple sealed their love at the incredible Newport Beach California LDS Temple.

This is one magnificent temple.

The grounds are lush and beautiful which make for swoon worthy wedding pictures!

This wedding was so very special for me to photograph because I have known Sydney’s Father since we were young kids. Watching Sydney grow up into such an incredible person and now a wife was such a blessing.

Sydney and Tauivi had the biggest smiles on their faces when they exited the Newport Beach LDS Temple doors after they sealed their love for one another for eternity.

Their family and friends were waiting to shower them with well wishes on this incredible January day in sunny Newport Beach, California.

We got the most incredible and beautiful wedding photos of this sweet couple while we walked around the grounds of the Newport Beach LDS Temple and then we headed off to an incredible reception at the Upland LDS ward. The evening was filled with love, family, food and joy.

I love photographing weddings so much and this one surely brought joy too my heart.
