Paige & Luke
MOORPARK, CA
From our first phone call, I could tell that Paige and Luke were a special couple. Paige and Luke live on the east coast but grew up here in southern California. We got to know each other well over the phone for the year leading up to their wedding. Since most of their family live here on the west coast, they wanted to make it a priority to enjoy as much time as possible with their guests. Photographing these two really was one for the books – from their beaming smiles, happy tears, and joyous laughter – their love was truly palpable.
One of my favorite moments from Paige and Luke’s wedding day (though there were many) was their private vow reading, set amid the iconic trees at Walnut Grove. The Walnut Grove is really such a magical venue with what feels like countless eucalyptus + walnut trees. The rows of trees create a beautiful canopy which allows the sun to filter through branches creating the most romantic backdrop. This made it especially intimate for their personal vows and allowed me to capture it in a way that will tell their love story for generations.
How they met and the proposal!
“During the pandemic, there was really only one way of meeting people to date: Hinge! Our relationship expanded quick and organically. We both fell for each other quickly and grew into a loving couple. It was a little over a year of dating before the proposal.
The proposal was a total surprise! Her family was already in town visiting for her nursing school graduation, and he planned a “surprise” celebration for her graduation celebration at a beautiful resort in the countryside. However, that celebration was an engagement! In a private library, with everyone outside waiting, he pulled her in and barely could say a word of what he prepared. After she said, “yes,” and 15 minutes of photos, both families join; but with one more surprise left. Moments later, her best friends, from across the country, walk in, to her complete shock. With an even bigger surprise than the engagement, she falls to the ground with MORE tears in her eyes. After group photos, and a wonderful brunch to follow, came a week of celebration!” – Paige & Luke
