Christine & Jimmy's Wedding at Padua Hills Theatre


As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing some of the most special moments in couples' lives. But every now and then, I find myself at a venue that leaves me in awe—not only of the love being celebrated but of the sheer beauty and charm of the place itself. One such wedding took place recently at the Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont, California, and I couldn’t wait to share just how breathtaking this location is and how it made the day truly unforgettable. Christine and Jimmy's wedding at this amazing venue was just that perfect, special wedding day and we were so honored to capture their wedding photos.


The ceremony took place on the grand outdoor terrace, which overlooks the valley below. As I snapped photos, I couldn’t help but marvel at the scenery—tall trees, verdant hills, and a peaceful sky that stretched on for miles. The couple exchanged vows under a floral arch that added a touch of romance and color to the already breathtaking backdrop.

As the couple shared their first kiss, the crowd erupted in cheers, and I was able to capture that perfect moment: a blend of love, joy, and the sense that this was exactly where they were meant to be.


After the ceremony, guests were invited to the indoor reception space, which exuded both charm and sophistication. The venue’s historic theatre, with its elegant wooden beams and stunning vintage chandeliers, provided a cozy yet regal atmosphere for the evening’s festivities. The reception was held under soft, ambient lighting, which created a warm, romantic glow—perfect for dining, dancing, and laughter.

The couple made their grand entrance to an enthusiastic applause and blew their guests and us away with a coordinated dance that was incredible. Jimmy and his mom also wowed everyone with an amazing coordinated mother and son dance. As a photographer, I love capturing these moments that blend the personality of the couple with the atmosphere around them!
