Kristin and Jordan: Married at the Victorian, Santa Monica

Kristin and Jordan tied the knot this past weekend at the Victorian, Santa Monica.  I met them both back in June as they started the planning process; you might remember their fun engagement session at Manhattan Beach back in July.  Even then, they had a clear vision of what they wanted their wedding to be like: candlelit, romantic, and vintage were just some of the key words.  Jordan is really into football, so they actually chose their wedding date for late February so it wouldn’t conflict with the football season.   It was awesome seeing their vision come together in a celebration with their close friends and family.The Victorian Santa Monica Wedding Photography

Wedding at the French Estate

I had the great pleasure of photographing my first wedding of the season with one of my favorite photographers of all time, Stephanie of This Modern Romance.  The wedding took place at The French Estate in Orange, CA.  The estate is a private home with tons of vintage charm, big palm trees, and a beautiful draped back yard patio for an outdoor ceremony.  The weather was amazing, and perfect for a spring wedding for Sean and Cheryl!

My focus during the wedding was lots of pictures of the groom Sean, and detail shots.

Before the ceremony, Stephanie arranged for them to have a first look… which allowed us plenty of time to head over to the Arboretum for some romantic pictures.
