A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to second shoot for Ahmed with AA Creation Photography.  I jumped at the chance especially because the wedding was at the fabulous Mission Inn in Riverside.  I’ve always wanted to explore that place!

And it did not disappoint!  It was also much larger than I imagined!

Michele and Justin were an amazing couple!  Michele had modeled before and it showed as she was posing for her portrait.

See?  She is gorgeous! 

Michele and her girls!

Justin and Michele wanted to see each other before the ceremony and after they did, they were so much more relaxed!

Isn’t this a great staircase at the Mission Inn?

I loved these little name cards.  They made me think of Dawn and Norvin. 

Just before the ceremony.

I love this moment because it is not posed at all.

Some quiet words with her father just before the doors opened.

I thought this was a fun shot of the best man!

Walking around the Mission Inn was so much fun!

Jelly Bellies are my favorite candy!  Top Banana is my #3 fav (only getting beat out by Juicy Pear (#1) and Buttered Popcorn (#2).

They had this awesome choreographed dance.  Justin is a body builder and Navy Diver.  Look how easy he makes it look to pick her up!

And one final shot outside the chapel.
