With all the rain we had at the start of the year, you wouldn’t expect to see such a bright sunny day in February! The sun came through bright and made all the colors of the day vibrant.
Johann + Katie shared their First Look under the shade of a willow tree. They had sometime to just be together and marvel at each other and that their wedding day was finally here. We had their 16 member wedding party join them and were able to capture some photos of them all together before the ceremony. The First Look worked out so well because the sun setting so early we wouldn’t have had time after the ceremony to get all the shots we needed otherwise.

Johann + Katie, I am beyond thrilled for you two! You balance each other out and encourage the other to be themselves. I wish you many years of love, joy and adventures. Cheers!!
Katie’s florist, The Tangled Vine, made these floral bracelets for the mothers instead of traditional corsages.
Important to have a kit of essentials! Get one premade or make your own. I’d suggest safety pins, mini scissors, bandaids, advil, mini sewing kit, nail file, wet wipes, and a few extra bobby pins.
Johann and Katie met working at Red Robin restaurant so it was perfectly fitting that Mr Red Robin would make an appearance as DJ and out on the dance floor!

Katrina and Tony made it a special point not to call or see each other before their wedding ceremony. Tony even turned his back until the exact moment Katrina was lined up in view down the aisle. It was a very emotional sweet day and I’m so happy for them.

Jennifer and Philippe had been down different paths but fate brought them together. We got to do some wedding portraits of them before they left to elope in Hawaii just the two of them. 😍

Got to be a part of @communityhousedp Open House yesterday! I didn’t even know this hidden gem existed! Right in the heart of Dana Point it’s perfect for a small wedding or party.
