I took these photos last fall & you might recognize this beautiful family because I am the lucky one who has been able to photograph them for the last 4 years.

I had great time photographing this beautiful family at Pico Canyon Park in Stevenson Ranch, CA and I am so glad it all worked out!

I asked S to give 'you are mine" hug to his family. He did. Now, it is one of my favorite family photo.

​Yesenia and Jimmy, I’m honored to have documented your first day as husband and wife. I am thankful to have been invited into your lives and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both! Thank you for sharing your story! The story about love, dignity and respect for each other.

Yesenia & Jimmy's story how they both met each other:

​We met at church where our families congregate I was the drummer of the church and she was part of the choir. I was so shy to talk to her and she was the same so imagine how that went as far as making conversations with each other he he. Well we started as friends and then became best friends  one thing led to another and I fell for her as she did for me too. I went and talked to her parents and informed them of my intentions and if i had permission to go out when we could and date each other, I was happy that they approved. We became a couple by the 25th of December of 2014, so we were friends for two months and then a couple after. I was able to get to know her well and she to know me and yeah we had our struggles but we made it through each problem or thing that tried breaking us apart. When i proposed to her i took her to her favorite place to eat which was Olive Garden , it was Valentines Day of  2016.  Time progressed and we allowed each other to know one another, we met in October 2014 and have been together for almost 2 years and got married on September 10, 2016.  Now we are trying to build our home and make a kingdom together making sure to live one day at a time, ready to face any hurdle together always and forever J and Y. 

Harlean and Wayne's Golden Wedding Anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity.  It's been a long road for them and each day they work hard at loving each other.  Their son and grandsons are honored  to have these amazing role models.
