It started cooling off during this mountainside wedding day in California while Jay and Jakayla Rivers of The Rivers Photo were taking post-ceremony portraits in Moreno Valley of this couple, who first met when they were rock climbing on the same mountain but in separate groups. “The bride went and hit on him because he was shy,” the photographers explain.

“During this shoot, he was putting his jacket on her,” adds Jakayla, “and we made a joke about him looking like Obama and they laughed. It was a little hard to get laughter out of him because of his coyish behavior, whereas she giggles at everything. They are such a cute match!”
