A Fairytale Wedding / Wedding Photographer / Ariena + David

In the beginning of my photography career, I used to have the time to do a lot of 2nd shooting for other photographers (not so much anymore now). This wedding was one of them for Carissa Woo Photography back in September 2016 for Ariena and David’s wedding. It was seriously breathtaking from start to finish, it was a true fairytale! The wedding started at their friends beautiful home where they got ready. Then we headed to David’s parents home for the ceremony and reception. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got to their home, the property was endless. The bride Ariena is a huge Disney fanatic so it was very fitting that she had a fairytale inspired wedding, disney music and decor and a Alice and Wonderland inspired wedding dress. 

After all the time & money spent on wedding planning, and the wedding day is over...what we truly have to show for it are all the memories in still photographs. We believe that's why it's extremely important to have great photographers who are able to make the wedding details live on forever in these amazing images. Congratulations Ariena and David!! We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness! Thank for allowing us to capture your special and memorable day. Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Cheers!
