Hi there! Welcome to the online home of Laura Tavarez Photography. I specialize in Wedding & Family Photography thru out California.

MICHAEL & LIZ

Nov 18, 2023


Grangeville Oaks | Lemoore, CA


Michael & Liz met at San Diego Comic Con… even though neither lived in San Diego! Once they got talking they realized they both were both actually from the Central Valley and were both Fresno State alumni!! They connected over the love of similar music, including some of the same emo and pop punk bands. At Comic Con these two bonded with the fun of traveling and exploring new places. They thoroughly enjoy traveling across the country and in their own backyard of California. (Check out their fun engagement session in Yosemite, CA)

Michael & Liz’s Wedding at Grangeville Oaks

Michael & Liz’ beautiful fall wedding took place at Grangeville Oaks, in Lemoore, CA. Sometimes, capturing weddings feels like unwrapping a gift—you never know what precious moment you’ll witness next! Grangeville was a new venue to me and I must say its a beautiful venue!!! The getting ready spaces are so well thought out let alone beautiful! Beautiful grounds with pretty views everywhere! Vineyards, Tree alley, Barn, gorgeous giant Oaks! Working with other amazing vendors is such a blessing, Shelley, from Shelley Ann Events is a delight! She makes wedding days go so, so smoothly. If you are in need of a planner, run and book her quick!!! 💕

Who else is totally FALLing for this season? 🍂 It’s not just about the cooler weather and cozy sweaters, but also about the COLOR. With Fall finally hitting the Central Valley, even the vineyard leaves are colorful. The Ceremony took place overlooking these colorful vineyard. Liz’s sweet friend got to officiate their wedding, which just made the day even more meaningful.

All weddings have special unique elements that honor the special couple. Here is just a few: Liz’s nieces helped pass out dry flower confetti. So pretty without the messy pick up. Michael’s nephew was the adorable ring bearer, matching his daddy (Michael’s Groomsman, from his suit, tiny converses and even his hat, which he actually kept on all day long!! SO impressive! Liz’s mama painted the reception tables numbers. Since Michael & Liz like traveling and hiking, she painted some of their favorite views of Half Dome, Yosemite and the beach. Light up the Walls, lit up the tree overlooking the barn at the reception, Bokah-licious 😂 this photographer loves twinkle lights and the fun ambience they provide! Can not forget the ah-mazing charcuterie TABLE, Wood-fired Pizza, adorable woodsy wedding cake!

Last, but definitely not least…..Michael and his groomsmen have a band together and put on a rockin’ mini concert!!! 🥳🎤🥁🎸🙌🏻 WOW!! So fun to see everyone enjoying the evening! Live Music at a wedding is just the best!!!
