Orange County Beach Wedding: Annie & Alan
This weekend, I had the pleasure of documenting a beautiful beach ceremony of Annie and Alan. The wedding took place in Dana Point, coordinated by Orange County Beach Weddings. The details incorporated lots of beach elements from the stone “wishing rocks,” flip flops provided for guests, to delicious menu including gourmet baby green salad, grilled Chilean Sea-Bass with mango salsa, cilantro rice, broccolini spears, lemon sorbet, and bonless Braised Short Ribs from Summit Catering.
My favorite part of the evening was seeing how happy Annie was all evening long… in addition to the surprise firework show during dinner. Totally unexpected… but with about 10 seconds to set up the shot, I think it’s a great memory. 🙂 Congratulations to Annie & Alan! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.
Lauren & Nick: Married at the French Estate
Today, I’m very happy to share my last wedding of 2014… featuring Lauren and Nick! I met Lauren, about one year ago as she started planning a Christmas wedding. Since the time we met, I had the pleasure of getting to know them both on a few occasions during different milestones… like their fun engagement session, at Lauren’s sister’s wedding over the summer, and their close friends Kate and Jeff’s wedding back in October (where Nick was the best man). By the time Lauren and Nick’s wedding day rolled around, we had formed a bond that really allowed for the day to run smoothly and I was able to capture some beautiful moments. My favorite moment of the entire day was when Lauren’s parents walked her down the isle. I think the huge smile on her mother’s face, really sums up the feelings of the year! Pure happiness. All of their beautiful details came together with a romantic evening with lots of joy, love, and sparkle! Congratulations to you both!

Lauren & Nick’s Engagement
Lauren and Nick are getting hitched this December. For their engagement session, they decided to have some fun with their Yorkie “Sugar” and bring Nick’s collection of vintage mopeds out into a beautiful field in Casper’s Park. When we arrived at the park, we were a bit surprised they did not allow dogs, so we made the best of our time and worked with a couple different locations. I love how many different moments we were able to capture.
Katrina & Adam: Laguna Beach Engagement Session
Katrina and Adam are a sweet couple who recently moved to Long Beach from Washington State. They have tons of great style, adorable smiles, and lots love to share! We spent the eventing at a beautiful beach Laguna and captured these fun engagement pictures with their energetic puppy. My favorite part of the evening was taking some unexpected pictures of these two with Adam’s vintage beetle right after sunset. It kinda reminds me of when Mat and I took our engagement pictures with his Delorean. Dream cars always make great props!
