Fairytale South Coast botanic garden wedding // ©2016 Sun & Sparrow Fairytale wedding photographer
Our wedding day came and went in a blink of an eye! I cherished those moments where time stood still and I could just breathe everything in and focus on just what our day was all about, Love. While getting ready for my day, I remember watching my mother get her hair and makeup done as I sat on my bed with one of my 13yr old dogs, petting her and listening to some Alicia keys was just the perfect start to my day! My heart just felt so overjoyed in that moment. Everything else was just a fast forward and pause kind of day. My favorite pause was our first look, my nerves were thru the roof and I knew as soon as I saw Edson I would not be able to control my emotions. Sure enough, one look at him and I just couldn’t hold back my tears, here in front of me was standing the love of my life moments before becoming my husband, it just felt so surreal! So many talks about getting married, to being engaged and then the crazy planning phase and the day was finally here! All my morning nerves were at ease after that, I felt so relaxed and ready to just enjoy our wedding day together and finally be married.
I’m a simple kind of girl! I love natural light and beautiful soft colors so from the get go I always knew I wanted a garden wedding. I didn’t want anything to take away from the natural beauty our venue had to offer. My amazing florist, Laura was the mastermind behind it all. She just knew exactly what made me happy and made my wedding a dream!
Brides to be, take it all in as much as you can! Do not worry about a single thing on the day of because something WILL go wrong or at least not how you planned and it’ll all be ok!
Enjoy it all as it comes and bask in all the love that surrounds you two. Truly treasure those moments alone with your husband because those come so little. People really weren’t kidding when they say your wedding day comes and goes, I am so glad I have all these beautiful images to help me relive such an amazing day in our lives.

Oak Glen mountain engagement // ©2017 Sun & Sparrow Oak Glen wedding photographer
I met Raymund through my dad. Raymund’s dad was working for my dad’s company at the time and came over for a Bbq for my sisters birthday. At that time I was in a relationship but my parents didn’t approve of him. It was also an unhealthy relationship. After that first meeting Ray was suppose to go back to the Philippines and go to college there, but he ended up staying here to help his dad. He started working part time for my dad’s company and within that process, he asked my dad for my phone number and my dad gave it to him. My dad called me right away and told me to answer my phone when someone calls. That night, he called and we started talking and getting to know each other. After a few weeks of just talking on the phone and texting, my family and I went on vacation for a month. While I was away, he still found ways to keep in contact with me via email, text message and myspace (LOL). During the time that I was on vacation with my family, I was already single. My ex-boyfriend and I had already broken up before I left. When I came back from my vacation with my family, we went out our first date. Ever since then we have been inseparable. We went to college and took almost the same classes together. We’ve had our shares of ups and downs but at the end of the day, I would never change anything in past that we have been through, because those are the reasons why our love and respect for one another will never be broken. We have now been together for 10 years and finally, we both decided that we are ready to take the step. He first asked for my parents blessing and as soon as he got the approval, our secret engagement has now become official. I was able to wear my ring and tell everyone about it and our wedding plans.
Karen & Jay reside in beautiful Sydney Australia. These two decided to travel the distance to Los Angeles to hire Sun & Sparrow to shoot their engagement photos. We are so happy to be a part of their rustic destination engagement in Palos verdes!
