OLA and Doubletree by Hilton Claremont Wedding Photographer {Maurgan + Keith}

I was really looking forward to this wedding. Maurgan and I had an instant connection from the very first time we spoke on the phone. That connection continued when I got to meet her in person along with her husband to be Keith. This sweet couple is so in love, honestly, the tears, (including mine) were flowing all day long.

I always love to get to my clients early and take lots of detail photos and pictures before the wedding. We started this wonderful wedding day at the beautiful Doubletree by Hilton Claremont. This is one of my favorite venues. John and his team are simply the best at what they do and I just adore working with them. Thanks John for the VIP treatment as always. xo

Maurgan and her bridemaids were finishing up hair and makeup when Mark and I arrived. Maurgan was then surprised with a wedding gift from Keith. Such a sweet wedding memory. We lucked out with the weather and just missed the rain. We took the girls outside to the luscious grounds of the Claremont Doubletree and got the picture taking fun started. Maurgan was simply beautiful. She was really comfortable in front of the camera.

Next we headed to meet Keith and the guys. Keith was also surprised with a gift from Maurgan. I am happy to say that I helped fulfil her dream to give Keith a "For your eyes only" wedding day gift that he will treasure forever. Keith and the guys were easy to work with and we had fun walking around the Doubletree taking photos.

The ceremony was held at OLA Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Claremont. Maurgan's family has a strong history at this church so it was very special to be married here. After the ceremony it was time for family photos, wedding party and then lots of romantics of the bride and groom.

We came back to the Doubletree by Hilton Claremont for a fun filled wedding reception. This day truly was magical for Maurgan and Keith and I am so blessed that I got to share in it and create lifelong wedding memories for this sweet couple. God Bless you both. xoxo Michelle + Mark

Doubletree by Hilton Claremont+ Upland Wedding Photographer {Georgia + Ricky}

Labor Day weekend was absolutely gorgeous. The temperatures were down by almost 20 degrees from the previous weekend here in Upland and Claremont, California. I had planned on taking this weekend off but when LaDawn from Platinum Lining Events requested my photography services for this sweet couple I couldn't refuse. Georgia + Ricky were so easy to work with, we actually photographed their engagement session just a few days before the wedding. I will post those pictures soon.

We had amazing vendors at this Wedding. Doubletree by Hilton Claremont, Fleur De Lis Chapel in Upland, Platinum Lining Events, Cucamonga Cakery, The DJay Company and of course me, Michelle Johnson Photography. My husband Mark helped me shoot this wedding and we had a blast.

We started to afternoon taking pictures at Doubletree by Hilton Claremont, then we headed over to the charming, historic Fleur De Lis Chapel in Upland. The ceremony was beautiful. I love the fact that this chapel is just blocks away from my Upland home. So nice to work there.

We made a quick stop in the Claremont Colleges for wedding party and romantic photos and then back to the Doubletree in Claremont for a reception filled with great food, laughter, family , friends and fun memories. It was great spending the day with everyone. Here is a sneak peak at Georgia + Ricky's wedding.

First Look Photos are so romantic....

Fleur De Lis Chapel in Upland is simply charming.

LaDawn from Platinum Lining Events. What an amazing women and wedding co-ordinator!
