Once they were ready, Maria and Richard made their way to Holy Cross Catholic Church for their heartfelt ceremony. Inside the ornate walls of the church, surrounded by their loved ones, they sealed their love with profound promises and exchanged rings to signify their eternal bond. The grandeur of the church served as a majestic backdrop, enhancing the ethereal beauty of Maria in her bridal gown and Richard in his dashing suit.

Leaving the church behind, the entourage ventured to Mooney Grove Park, a picturesque park in Visalia. It was the perfect backdrop for more wedding party, family, and bride + groom portraits.

Although I was unable to personally photograph their wedding due to my pregnancy, Maria and Richard entrusted my business with their special day. To ensure they received the best memories possible, two talented associate photographers stepped in. Their expertise and creativity ensured that every moment was captured with the same passion and attention to detail as if it were my own lens behind the camera.
