What an awesome way to start 2009 with an amazing wedding! After a long holiday break, it’s great to be back shooting and doing what I love. This past Saturday I was able to be a part of a lovely wedding, which the ceremony was held at The Mission in San Juan Capistrano followed by an even lovelier reception at The Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. It seemed like all of the great vendors were under one roof including, beautiful florals by Square Root Designs, coordinating by Susan MacDonald, lighting by Pro Audio and Mike the DJ.
I know it’s said often, but when you’re at a wedding, one common theme I always find, is the love of friends and family. There was so much love for this couple, getting ready for the next steps in life together, that it couldn’t just be heard, but felt. Just like tension in the air that can be cut with a knife, but in a good way! There are actually 5 daughters in the family with this bride being number 4 to be married and only 1 more to go. I think the father of the bride deserves an award for raising 5 awesome daughters!
To do this amazing wedding justice, I decided to break it down into 2 parts, the ceremony and reception. So stay tuned on Thursday for part 2 of this amazing wedding!
What’s a wedding without rings and shoes!
The lovely bride getting ready at her parents place.
The brides veil was stunning!
I love this shot of the bride by the window.
I quickly grabbed a shot of the bride as she walked to the doors.
Definitely gorgeous!
Inside The Mission.
The wedding was even complete with an all boys choir.
The groom and his mom awaiting the bride to walk down the aisle, classic!
This had to be one of my favorite moments of the day. The grooms mom hugging the groom and at the same time the father of the bride lifting her veil.
Married!
We had the best lighting that day for portraits in The Mission.
These 2 photos makes me feel happy.
Be sure to checkout Becker’s Blog and Jerry Frazier’s Blog for more photos. And remember to check back on Thursday for the rest of the photos from this awesome wedding!
