Wedding: Mark & Samantha | Lake Oak Meadows, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | Upland, CA Photographer

“Best decision I have EVER made. From the second I met Analisa I knew I had a lifelong photographer. I can never thank her enough for all the beautiful photos and great memories shooting with her. My wedding day was so much fun with her there. I felt like I had an old friend there with me, shooting all of these important moments of my wedding.” Bride, Samantha

Lake Oak Meadows is one of my all time favorite wedding venues… Actually, it probably is my favorite wedding venue! The landscape is a photographers dream. I love the lake, the greenery, and their overall layout. They recently remodeled their getting ready rooms (which is conveniently on site) and they are now so gorgeous and spacious. Weddings (typically) never run on time and when we are able to eliminate traveling to and from, I am able to capture extra shots. I’m so excited to have multiple weddings at this venue this year!

Mark and Samantha were the easiest clients to work with. I just LOVE these two! My convos with Samantha usually went like this…

Me: What type of images are you looking for? Do you have any special requests? (usually when I ask this, I receive mini novels from my brides).
Samantha: Doesn’t matter… as long as we get a good photo..

It was my goal to give Samantha more than one “good photo.” When we arrived to capture their getting ready images, these two were incredibly relaxed. They were having fun with their friends, playing with their dog, and enjoying every second of their special day. I loved their carefree attitudes and how much trust they put into me as their photographer. Their details matched their relationship, sweet, simple and romantic. I had so much fun hanging out with these two and I am in LOVE with every image that we captured. I was happy dancing after each shot. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for the awesome couple. Congrats Mark and Samantha!
