Yesterday I had the priviledge to shoot jennifer and jesse’s wedding in Claremont at The Seaver House. It is a historical home located in the beautiful downtown village of Claremont. Built in 1900 and gifted to Pomona College in 1980, the Seaver House is only reserved for Alumni-related events.

I was fortunate enough to be a part of this event. Jennifer’s father is a well respected professor at Pomona College.

The alumni staff as well as the catering staff were a dream to work for and ran a first class show to say the least!!!

Here are some of my favorite’s from the day…the ceremony was held at Our Lady of Assumption Church, pictures were taken on and around Pomona College as well as The Seaver House! So much fun, since it is prohibited for photographers to photograph on the grounds (unless, of course, you are alumni)…you will see why…

The Seaver House in all it’s glory:

This may be one of my all-time favorites. Jen was sitting there on the couch talking to her daughter, Megan and calming her nerves before the wedding. Here it is, Jen’s wedding day, and all she was focused on was her daughter’s feelings at the moment. Wow…for those of you who are parents out there, I know you can see the impact in this picture and can relate. Hopefully those of you who aren’t parents can see it, too!

Little Megan was up at the alter with her mommy and was dressed like a little bride herself!

The happy family:

The architecture is amazing here in this little sheltered city of Claremont!

If you haven’t visited the Claremont Colleges, check it out. There are 5 private universities tucked away in this college town…may remind you of an ivy league college town back east…O.K…I am a little biased, I admit. I grew up in Claremont and love it’s small town charm. Can’t find that many places these days!

Jen is a dead-ringer for Drew Barrymore…beautifully elegant!

This next shot is one that my training assistant, Elana, took!!!

Way to go! I L-O-V-E it!!

I had to throw this shot of her sweet shoes! H-O-T !!!

Josh Goodman was my second shooter on this wedding (www.joshgoodman.com), and can’t wait to see all the cool shots he took!
Thanks Josh and Elana!

Weddings at Ponte Winery are always beautiful. This one was no exception!

My clients, julie & eric were awesome! Here are some of my favorites from their day!

Their D.J., Peter Merry, form Merry Weddings was absolutely the most entertaining D.J. I have ever witnessed! He had the crowd interested and EXCITED for julie & eric ALL NIGHT LONG!

Magnolia flower shop did a beautiful job, as always! Allison (the owner) is always so easy and fun to work with!

O.K…this little guy may be the cutest thing EVER!!!

His name is Cody, and he is a very happy little soul. I had the pleasure of meeting my new friend a few months ago through a mutual friend, and I just HAD to get a camera in front of him! I really enjoyed the time spent with him, and I think his mommy and daddy are happy!!!

Check out the STUD-MUFFIN!

Below, look at the drooool…I wish it was o.k. if my tummy hung out like this!

Look at the AMAZING eyes…
