Private Estate Wedding

Redlands, CA

Ally and Josh couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding! Especially since Josh’s mom planned every detail. If she hadn’t taken that roll Ally said they would have just gone to the courthouse. This private estate in Redlands, Ca doesn’t normally allow weddings but they made an exception for these two cuties. The grooms mom is a friend of the owner and was able to get access for the day. Exclusive wedding venues are the best!

Ally + Josh held off kissing each other for almost 3 years. They wanted their wedding day to be their “first kiss”. For their engagement session there were lots of cheek kisses, forehead kisses, and cuddles galore! Come wedding day, the anticipation for their first kiss absolutely killed me! I couldn’t wait for them to kiss for their first kiss since this was such a special moment for them. I can’t tell you how sweet this moment was for me to watch. When the time came Josh grabbed ally’s face and kissed her “like he never kissed her before” and that kiss was incredible!

Live paintings are such a rad way to savor your wedding day! I have seen this becoming more and more popular and I love this trend! Photographs are beautiful to hang in your house but there is something so amazing about hand painted art. Its like the difference between listening to your favorite song and going to a live concert. Its more the experience! The painting started before the ceremony, Erran started painting the ceremony site with the trees and when the guests started arriving he was able to incorporate them all into the painting. It was also fun for the guests to see it come alive throughout the day.

The entire day was planned perfectly! Josh and Ally decided not to do a first look but planned accordingly so the timeline allowed for pictures after the ceremony as well as sunset photos. If you aren’t having a first look at least make sure to set your ceremony time early enough to do sunset photos because those are killer! Ally did have a first look with her dad still and that made everyone bawl their eyes out.
