When Sierra Orvis asked me to photograph her wedding in Bear Valley, CA, I pretty much made the noise, “hoorah!” You know, like what you hear from military guys. Anyway, after really thinking about it, I honestly was a little skeptical; you know, since her destination wedding was 6 hours northeast from the Central Coast and at a place I had never heard of before. Boy, am I glad I made the trek out to Bear Valley. How amazingly beautiful this place is. Come to find out that Sierra’s family (the Orvis family) basically built the town, and the wedding location was on the most beautiful property I have ever seen. I just fell in love with the area. I could only imagine how amazing this place would be during the winter.
Okay, about Sierra Orvis and John Layous. Really, people! If you are looking for a love story or even looking for a couple who are truly, madly in love with each other, look no further. The positive comments, laughter, and smiles from everyone on this wedding day were breathtaking. Honestly, I came down with a horrible flu bug the night before and felt as weak as a dying cat. But just being around these wonderful people, I couldn’t help but laugh and smile the whole time.
Thank you to the Orvis family and the Layous family for your hospitality.
