Cristina + Brett tied the knot on a sunny day in December at the luxurious Old Polo Estate in Coachella, Ca. They rented the 5 acre estate for the entire wedding weekend which features a 3 hole golf course, 1500 sq ft swimming pool, gourmet kitchen and a professionally decorated 6 bedroom estate that can sleep up to 20. The estate has designated bridal and grooms suites with separate entrances so they were able to relax in the suites with their friends while they got ready the morning of the wedding without seeing each other!

We coordinated their pre ceremony photos so they wouldn’t accidentally see each other before the ceremony, funny enough Ryan and I chose the same location for the bride and groom portraits. I shot in the coutyard looking out towards the driveway and Ryan shot from the driveway looking into the courtyard…same area but a totally different perspective!

A live violinist began the ceremony processional where Cristina and her Dad shared a nice long walk down Old Polo’s infamous palm tree lined sidewalk. If you ask me, the longer the walk, the better!

Cristina + Brett poured a champagne tower together before hosting toasts. This is not only a crowd pleaser but a great photo opportunity too!
