Pasadena Private Estate Wedding : Nicole and Matt

May 2, 2015

Filed in: Weddings

These two…what can I say? They were just incredible people and made me choke up during their thank you speeches. Matt’s family graciously let them host their wedding day event at their private residence in Pasadena, California.  The entire day was centered around their love and family. A spectacular ceremony held on the front lawn for all the neighbors to see, and a reception in the magical lush backyard. Matt welcomed Nicole and her little girl into his life and promised to never let them go.

Their wedding day was truly heart warming and full of genuinely beautiful people inside and out. An unforgettable day that no one a part of it will ever forget…Thank you Richelle Dante for inviting me to photograph along side of you at this Pasadena wedding, it was a true honor and look forward to working together again in the future.
