Country Barn Wedding {Kellie + Brett} Strawberry Farms

Kellie + Brett had dreams of the perfect country wedding in a big barn. When they drove down the white picket fence lined streets of Strawberry Farms Gold Club, in Irvine, they knew they had found their wedding venue. The big red barn was the perfect centerpiece to their country wedding.

I had actually photographed for Kellie and her family when she was a little girl. She was so cute when she arrived at my house with her wedding planner, Holly of HMC Event Solutions. Kellie was holding one of the old fashioned photos I had taken of her and her family when she was a little girl. Wow, I don't remember getting older, but I must be if my little girl clients are now my brides. I also photographed the groom's sister Marissa when she was a high school senior so it was just a joy to see everyone and share in this fairytale wedding.

None of this would have been possible without the amazing vendors I worked with.
Holly and her team from HMC Event Solutions were the glue that held everything together. Thank you for trusting me with this very special wedding. Holly was the one who suggested to the bride and groom to visit Strawberry Farms Gold Club. This was the start of their dream wedding.

Blend Media Solutions was the videography team. I can't wait to see what they created for this adorable couple.

Cucamonga Cakery Rocked the cake. It was so rustic and beautiful at the same time and their cakes are so yummy.

The flowers were gorgeous. I loved every rustic detail about them. Green Leaf Designs did a wonderful job.

The DJ was Steve Burdick and he was really great to work with. I loved how the wedding party entered the barn and did a country line dance. Such a cute idea of the bride's.

Rochelle from Strawberry Farms was wonderful to work with. The staff at Strawberry Farms was so helpful and welcomed us to their venue.

My associate second shooter Shelly helped me rock this wedding. Shelly got some amazing detail shots and her photos helped me complete the story of this wedding.

This team of wedding professionals was a perfert match for Kellie and Brett's wedding. We all worked together and gave them their wedding of their dreamms.

Here is a sneak peak at this gorgeous, country, barn wedding at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine, California.

Michelle,
It is hard for me to put my appreciation for you into words. You are such an amazing photographer and these pictures could not have turned out any better. I am able to look at these captured memories and relive every emotion I felt on my wedding- and that, is priceless. The most amazing thing about working with you was the friendship we developed. Having you photograph the most important day of our lives was wonderful because you fit right in. Never once did I have to ask you to get a specific shot, you knew exactly what I wanted and then some! We will never be able to thank you enough for your fabulous work- and we definitely look forward to working with you again in the future! You photographed me as a child, and I can't wait for you to one day photograph my children =] Thank you again, Michelle, for not only being a great photographer, but an extraordinary woman.
Love you lots,
The Bride, Kellie Beitler
