Etiwanda Gardens | Winter Wedding

When you think of weddings you normally think of beautiful spring flowers, or a warm summer breeze.  You normally don’t think about a cold winter wind.  However winter weddings can be fun because you don’t have to worry about the heat.  One of the benefits of being in Southern California is that wedding celebrations can occur pretty much all year round without worry, because it doesn’t snow and it really doesn’t rain that much.   For Josue and Jessica’s wedding this was no exception beautiful blue skies and a chilly breeze.  Their wedding took place at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga a great venue with amazing staff and a beautiful garden that we decided to use for our couple’s first look.  For a lot of couples it is tradition that the groom not see the bride before the ceremony, but for others this is a tradition long gone by.  With Josue and Jessica we decided to do a first look which was great because it allowed us for some alone time with our couple.  It also allowed us to capture some great anticipation by our groom.  These are images we would not have been able to capture or recreate had we not done a first look.  The entire night was memorable but for us doing this part of the session was a highlight.
