Happy Father's Day

Phillips Family Photos: family photographer Lodi, CA

To all the real Dads not just fathers… (Anyone can be a father but it takes a special God selected individual to have the honor of being a Daddy) So to all the men out there who’ve sacrificed and given up their selves for the greater good of theirs or someone else’s children…We’d like to wish you a Happy Father's Day and thank you for being there for your children. Here’s to all you Dads... the muscle, the heart, the leader, the bread winner, the teacher, the role model, the idol, the superhero…You guys are Rockstars! Always remember the most important part about being a Dad involves the transition from being someone who was once selfish, to one who is selfless. Being a Dad requires that you be comfortable with being a hero yet be respectful of the power that being a hero entails. It also involves being able to walk miles in pint sized shoes. Sure at times they might give us those distinguished grey hairs far before we want them. But we all know the real Dads out there would take a head full of silver and grey over missing out on that irreplaceable unconditional love any day.

Rosa + Ben: Walnut Grove, CA Grand Island Mansion

We were initially contacted by Ben months before he and Rosa were to walk down the aisle.  At the time, he was shopping around and hadn't quite narrowed down a wedding photographer for the big day.  Ben was really organized and down to earth which made us want to work with him all the more.  But when he mentioned what venue he and his fiance planned to get married at, we were even more excited.  Fast forward to April 2015 and once again we found ourselves visiting the gorgeous grounds of the Grand Island Mansion .  The mansion is located in Walnut Grove nestled in an orchard right across from the Sacramento River.  Their classic vintage style was a perfect match for this elegant early 1900s mansion.  The day was beautiful, the dinner delicious, and the love  abundant.  We had a great time sharing in the love with these two.  Check out a few of their gorgeous wedding day photos below.
