Wedding Photos at Le Chene
Wedding photos by Sutton Photography, Lancaster, CA
Le Chene French Restaurant was the setting for Chris and Amanda’s perfect wedding. Le Chene has a beautiful outdoor setting right off the patio/deck for weddings and other events. There are little vignettes all around the area perfect for photos, from a bridge, to a “bicycle” under an arch, the famous water wheel, and the neon sign out front. So many places, so little time! Chris and Amanda had a great time. They had taken ballroom dance lessons, and it really paid off for their first dance. Watch out “Dancing with the Stars”! They even danced down the aisle after they were pronounced “husband and wife”! These two are a dancing couple! We had amazing food at the reception. Those potatoes were the best I have ever had! The cake melted in your mouth, it was so light and fluffy. Chris and Amanda had thought of everything, from the decorations, to the centerpieces, to the favors that every guest received, they left nothing out! They were both fun, as well as very affectionate with each other. All the guests had a great time and everyone was so happy for the new couple. I hear that Le Chene has a great Sunday brunch. It would be perfect for a birthday or anniversary celebration. http://lechene.com/

Wedding Photography Elegant Affairs
Wedding Photography Elegant Affairs
Lancaster, CA
On a perfect November day, we were so excited and honored to be the photographers at Tayler and John’s wedding. They choose The Elegant Affairs in Lancaster, CA as their venue and it was so beautiful. Besides the weather being perfect, friends and family gathered together to celebrate the love and commitment between these two amazing people. The setting was beautiful with twinkle lights and a gazebo beautifully decorated. The ceremony was both touching and fun, and the reception was a party! Thanks to everyone that helped to pull this great wedding together and all the fun guests who made it a very special and memorable day!

Wedding at Newhall Mansion, Piru, CA
Beautiful November Wedding in Southern California
Wedding at Newhall Mansion, Piru,
Wedding at Newhall Manion, Piru, CA. It was a perfect Southern California fall day, warm and sunny. The wedding took place at the Newhall Mansion, built in 1890. Rich in history with a Victorian era vibe to it, it was a perfect setting for the bride and groom, truly in love. The Newhall Mansion is located in the tiny town of Piru. It is truly a hidden jewel. If you are looking for a unique place for a wedding, look no further! This location has it all. The beautiful outdoor setting comes complete with a gazebo, pool, and an outdoor dance floor. There are multiple places for guests to mingle and walk and talk. We kept remarking on how peaceful it was there. Then there is the amazing interior with multiple bedrooms, each with it’s own theme. The wedding couple left no detail to chance, making for a memorable day. From the cake, cookies, dessert buffet, the ceremony, everything was amazing and tasty! It was a day and wedding to remember. We were so honored to be there and to capture the memories forever.

Wedding on the BLVD Winners
Jazmin and Waldo were the lucky winners of the contest for the free Wedding on the BLVD. They received a wedding valued at $17,000. Yeah, I know, it is totally amazing!
azmin got her beautiful wedding dress from Bella Bridal and everyone, including me, kept asking her if she was always that tall! She looked gorgeous! The day started with the bride getting her hair and makeup provided by Bella West Salon, hosted by Valerie Orcutt, the salon’s owner. Joining her were her bridesmaids and her lovely little daughter.
Then off to Bex for photos before the ceremony. The bridal party all came back to the studio for formal portraits ( and to get out of the heat!). We had a lot of fun with the groomsmen, as you will see!
RC Limousine transported Jazmin in style to the Bandstand at Bex. www.bexsgrill.com The ceremony was performed on the Bandstand under a beautiful arch provided by Antelope Valley Florist.
The food was fantastic and was provided by GBG Grill in downtown Lancaster. Lamplighter provided the centerpieces and they really lent an beautiful atmosphere to the reception room. Erica Allbee of All About Fitness Downtown and a board member of the BLVD association also served as the wedding coordinator.
We enjoyed doing photographs in front of the Bex sign and as you will see had a lot of fun with the wedding party on the sign. They were game for anything!

Church Weddings
Lancaster United Methodist Church 918 West Ave. J
Five lucky couples will get a free wedding this year courtesy of Lancaster United Methodist Church. “We know there are many couples who seek a spiritual grounding for their marriage,” said Pastor Terry Van Hook. “Yet cost and other reasons have kept them from the ceremony of their dreams.”
The church will be giving away the weddings beginning at 10a.m. May 24th and running through the afternoon. Each couple will arrive already dressed and have the use of the sanctuary for their wedding. Pastor Van Hook will be there to officiate along with an organist for music and a bridal director to help direct the bridal party. There will be time after the wedding for pictures before the next couple arrives.
The church is having a “Wedding Open House” between 2 and 4 p.m. this Saturday, February 22 for all prospective brides and grooms who are interested in having the church as their venue. Church members will be there to answer any and all questions. Call the church office to RSVP at (661) 942-0419
Applications for the Five Free Weddings are available on the church’s website. www.LancasterUnited.org
