Thomas Aquinas College Ceremony and Olivas Adobe Historic Park Reception

Hannah and John's wedding was in August of 2014 and was one of my first weddings that I have had the pleasure of taking photos. Hannah is a dear friend of mine from high school (fellow homeschooler, secrets out haha) who is from Iowa. I met Hannah and her now husband John, at Thomas Aquinas' high school summer program in 2008 and have loved seeing their relationship grow over the years. 

​I had begun my first week of teaching in 2014 and wasn't sure if I could make it out to southern California to attend their wedding. Hannah was looking for a photographer and while I was just working with my cropped sensor Canon Rebel and a 50mm, she asked if she could pay for my flight in exchange for photos. ​

Hannah and John chose to have the wedding ceremony at their alma mater, Thomas Aquinas College's chapel. They are such a solid couple and being able to help document their wedding was such an honor. There was so much joy!

​They chose to have their reception at the Olivas Adobe Historical Park and it was filled with their loved ones, margaritas and the best taco bar I've ever had!
