Andrew & Valerie's Wedding | Chino, California

I’m so excited to share this beautiful late summer wedding! Andrew and Valerie are such a nice, loving couple! There were so many cute DIY details, it was obvious that there was a lot of time put into making the day so special, right down to the hundreds of handmade hearts and flowers created with recycled paper.

After getting ready at separate locations, the bride and groom met at the Japanese Gardens at Cal Poly Pomona. They opted to do a first touch, instead of a first look, to stay closer to tradition. Andrew didn’t want to see Valerie, as much as she didn’t want him to see her! This turned out to be my favorite part of the day…it was just SO sweet!

The ceremony and reception took place at Valley Christian Church, in Chino, and included dinner from an In N Out truck!

Congratulations to Andrew and Valerie, wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

This wedding was photographed on assignment with Andrea of Sincerely, A. Photography. She was great to work with! I've had the pleasure of working with her again since this wedding, so be on the lookout for another beautiful wedding done together! [http://www.sincerelyaphotography.com/]

 (The moment above was totally unexpected. After being pronounced husband and wife, and walking down the aisle together, Andrew spun Valerie around and dipped her into a kiss. It was a great example of the obvious love shared between these two!)
