Villa Parker Wedding: Nicole & Josh – Part II

Oooo, I love a good bride & groom session!  These two had the sweetest 10 Minute Rule!!  Our 10 Minute Rule is something we learned from my own wedding photographers, where right after the ceremony the bride & groom, who usually haven’t seen each other all day and haven’t had a chance to talk, go into a separate room or area away from the wedding party and guests.  Its just a few minutes to decompress and let the weight of what just happened sink in! With our without a first look, the emotions of this moment are some of the best!  And if I’m lucky, the couple will head outside for a few minutes of portraits, and then onto family portraits.  Nicole & Josh did a first look and all their family portraits before the ceremony, freeing up the entire sunset for them after the ceremony!  You’ll enjoy these bride & groom portraits. :-)

Enjoy!
René

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
