Living and working here in Southern California as professional photographers, we get so many opportunities to meet and work with really amazing couples. Often, it’s to photograph their engagement session and their wedding, but sometimes we get to shoot various stages of their family life such as Maternity, Newborn, Family, or even later in life as their children become Seniors in high school or college. However, with all that said, our favorite part continues to be hearing their stories. How they met, how they became interested in each other, their first date, and of course, the proposal. This is especially true for Wayne and Cambria. A fantastic couple that we had the pleasure of photographing their wedding on December 29, 2019, at the Los Willows Wedding Estate.
Located in Fallbrook, which is located in North San Diego County between Camp Pendleton and Temecula, the Los Willows Wedding Estate is a visually stunning location filled with a lot of greenery, trees, stonework, and a wooden bridge that overlooks a small lake. It’s the perfect location for any wedding as the scenery makes for great backdrops to your wedding ambiance as well as your wedding photography.
Cambria and Wayne’s wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale! The gorgeous bride, Cambria, was dressed in a lace fitted gown from Mary Me Bridal, while her bride tribe stood by her side in flowing sage green dresses. We loved the sage green paired with the light gray suits – from Friar Tux- that all the guys wore! One thing that stood out (in the best way!) was Cambria’s blooming bouquet of fuchsia, cream, and green, crafted by Lovely Peonies. To complete her lovely bridal look, Cambria had the talented help of Olivia Taylor Salon and Jennifer Siedler for hair and makeup.
The reception kept on rocking with the DJ sounds of DJ Alex from ProSound and the beautiful wedding cake by The Batter Up Bakery. Yum, Yum, Yum! Every part of this beautiful wedding day was coordinated by Cindy Muzic.
All of the details of this lush green wedding were captured by the team at Three16 Photography.
We would really like to thank Cambria and Wayne for allowing Three16 Photography to be part of your special day. We wish you many years of love and happiness.
Check out their love story. We hope you enjoy it, and their photos, as much as we do.
