Ricky and Stephanie went to high school together but never really spoke to each other. Stephanie was even a bridesmaid in his sisters wedding and he had no idea! They had absolutely no interest in each other back then, at all!. It wasn’t until they reconnected about 5 years after their high school graduation in 2010, that they decided to take a second look at each other. Since then they have been building their life together. Ricky has brought in his amazing 5 year old son into their relationship and Stepahnie couldn’t be any happier being his step-mom. That little boy is their pride and joy. Ricky and his son proposed to Stepahnie together on Christmas day in 2014. Ricky’s son had hidden my ring in his toy box and when they were all done opening gifts his dad told him to go get Stephanie’s. After coming back from his room, Little Man opens the ring box, puts the ring on her finger and then Ricky finishes the proposal by asking her to marry him. Which his son corrected that they were all 3 getting married and not just his dad and her! From that day forward they became a family of 3 but, will be a family of 4 coming this September! I am so excited for their new addition. Stephanie invisioned a wedding theme of simple elegance and romance with colors in masala wine, rustic gold, black and grey. The date was set for November 7th, 2015 so her and her mother went about researching and DIY a lot of her wedding decor and invitations. They spent hours pinteresting and brainstorming ideas which made for many memories as they saw their vision come to life the day of the wedding. Every thing looked gorgeous. This bouquet has got to be my all tiem favorite! I was in awe when I first saw it. The colors and the textures to perfection.turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0001turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0002turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0004turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0003turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0005turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0007turlock_hilmar_wedding_photos_cabrera_photography_s+r_0009Ricky’s son was the best man and as the best man.

All horses deserve to at least once in their lives, be loved by a little girl… Chex did. Olivia and Landon love spending their weekends at their grandparents home in the country. They spend hours lost in the fields, they often find themselves climbing trees, and end up in the river splashing each other until sunset strolls around. Here is where Olivia found and lost her best friend, her horse Chex. Chex guarded her secrets, taught her lessons no one else would teach her, he was the best listener, he would make her smile, make her fly in the wind, made her face her fears, and most of all tought her to trust. Oliva will never forget her horse Chex.

Vanessa and Nestor have been together since her senior year. Since they started dating they knew they would one day get married. Their love for one another is so huge & strong that they have motivated one another to further and complete their education first. They’re families are very proud and admire them for all their hard work. They planned their wedding together & it turned out just like they had dreamed and even better than they had imagined. They would joke around and their fear was always “what if no one goes”  but I don’t think that was a problem. Their reception was over filled with friends and family wanting to share the joy of their marriage with them. Vanessa looked incredible and I wish them the best in their new journey as the new Mr. and Mrs. Rivera.
