Catholic Church Wedding and a Backyard Reception || Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Let’s talk about a wedding day that had it all: classic tradition, spontaneous fun, and a whole lot of heart. Elaine and Jorge's wedding perfectly balanced the elegance of a traditional Catholic ceremony with the playfulness of an intimate, backyard celebration—and even a quick pit stop at In-N-Out. Talk about a day to remember! 🍔💍

The day began with a beautiful, sacred ceremony at a Catholic Church. As Elaine walked down the aisle, you could feel the weight of the moment. Jorge’s eyes lit up, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the place. Surrounded by loved ones and steeped in tradition, they exchanged vows that spoke to a commitment built on years of love and understanding.

The church’s grandeur and light pouring through the stained-glass windows provided the perfect backdrop for the solemn yet joyous event. As a Corona, CA-based photographer, capturing these emotional moments in such a meaningful setting is what I live for.

After the ceremony, we stepped outside to soak in the sunshine and snap some couples and family photos. Elaine’s dress sparkled in the afternoon light, and Jorge’s laughter rang out as they embraced and celebrated with their family. These candid, genuine moments are what truly tell a couple’s story, and it was an honor to document every hug, every joyful tear, and every playful moment.

Then, in a move that perfectly matched their laid-back, fun personalities, we made a quick stop at In-N-Out. With burgers in hand and a love that felt larger than life, we snapped some unforgettable photos. Elaine and Jorge's laughter and joy brought so much life to these shots—proving that even the simplest moments can be full of magic when shared with the person you love.

Photographing Elaine and Jorge's wedding was a true joy, blending the sacred with the silly, the traditional with the playful. As your go-to Corona, CA wedding photographer, I’m all about capturing those real, raw moments that make your day uniquely yours.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that mixes tradition with a personal, laid-back vibe—or if you just want photos that show your love in all its forms (even if that includes a pit stop for burgers!)—I’d love to be part of your adventure. Let’s create something beautiful, together.
