Adam & Andrea - It's all in the Details

Planning a wedding does not have to be stressful (though it usually is!) Thanks to the internet, there are hundreds of do-it-your-self articles and planning guides to help today's bride plan her wedding. But, today's bride does not just want to be involved with the planning...they are hand's on, personalizing, "Making sure this reflects us!" kinda bride.

That is my kind of bride...which is why our goal is to capture the moments that reflect the true you as well. Your heart and soul goes into planning every last detail, and we will be there...cameras ready... to snap away of you enjoying all your hard work.

Adam and Andrea did just that. They spent their day enjoying all their planning, and did not stress if there was a hiccup. Andrea put her flowers together herself after ordering them from Riverside Flower Club!! One of her friends even made the wedding cake...now that is keeping it personal!

We loved everything Adam and Andrea did to bring together their closet friends and family as they said their vows and tearfully were announced "Husband and Wife". Nothing is sweeter... and I am sure that at that moment... they may not have cared so much about all the little details.

Rosemary, Robert... and a baby on the way!

Maternity pictures are a favorite of mine. When I was pregnant with Kara, I made Nick take pictures of me - pretty much continuously. The miracle of life is so precious, and what better way to cherish the time of development than with pictures? I know some are leery of maternity pictures... but I LOVE them.

We photographed Rosemary and Robert's wedding in 2008, and were ecstatic when they contacted us with the wonderful news of their new bundle of joy. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from their maternity session.

Michael & Krystal - Corona, CA

Michael and Krystal are the dream couple for a photographer. Krystal knew she wanted unconventional, one-of-a-kind, "definitely not my mother's" type of wedding pictures, and Michael...well Michael simply said, "Do what makes her happy!" Every photographers dream!! After the wedding we went to some abandoned parking lots, dirt fields... Krystal was fine with it as long as it would make her parents question her sanity... and we LOVED every minute of.

They had a beautiful, intimate backyard wedding, followed by a fantastic reception, filled with speeches by both families. It was so awesome to see such a joining, not just of two people, but of two families!




















We cannot wait for your Trash the Dress session, Krystal!

Why we recommend Engagement Photos!

A little camera shy? Unsure of how to "act" in front a camera? What to test your hair or makeup for the BIG day? Well, here at Nick Corona Photography we offer a simple solution to all those questions...an Engagement Session! Engagement photos can be used at your wedding as centerpieces, made into awesome sign-in books, played as a slideshow during your reception - there are TONS of things you can do with engagement pictures. What's the best thing about engagement pictures though? The extra time spent in front of the camera will make you feel more comfortable on your wedding day. If you feel awkward in front of the camera, it will show - so let's eliminate that awkward feeling and get some fantastic photos! Here are a few of Jennifer and Marc's pictures from their engagement session in Laguna Beach, CA.

Christmas time means Family Portraits!

Fall is one of the most fun times for a photographer. The colors are changing, there is less harsh sunlight in the middle of the day, and families begin to think about their Christmas card picture. Family Portraits are a blast! We take our families on location, to show off the changing colors, beautiful sunlight and incredible landscape fall has to offer us. With the Chelette Family, we went to California Citurs State Historic Park in Riverside, Ca.
















We still have a few openings in December, just in the knick of time for those Christmas cards. If you are interested in a family portrait session, mention this blog and save $20!

Kara Noelle - 1 Year Old

Even though we specialize in wedding and event photography, we love doing family pictures! In particular, I love doing infant/toddler pictures! Turning one is a BIG deal, and toddler portraits are great presents!! Our little one, Kara Corona is going to be one year old in a couple weeks!!! We can hardly believe how fast time has flown by... and how much she has grown! She is a little lady now! We took a couple (haha, yeah right!) pictures for her first birthday, so I can include one in her birthday invitations. She takes such great pictures, even when she is being a grump!! Here are a few of my favorite!

Crafton Hills Fire Academy - Part 2

Even though we mainly do wedding photography, it is nice to take a break and give attention to those who save our lives in time of emergency. Nick is going through the Fire Academy at Crafton HIlls College to becoming a firefighter. The academy is coming to an end and our men and women have been shaped and molded into incredible firefighters! Family was invited to a training exercise earlier this week so I snapped a couple pictures of one of their stations. It was pretty incredible.






Each academy presents the Chief with a plaque that goes into the training hall. In the plaque are pictures of each squad, as well as the entire academy. Here are some of the finest young men and women around!!














Here is the entire Academy!
