This styled shoot was recently featured on Wedding Chicks! View Publication >>
This vintage-chic Autumn wedding inspiration shoot pays tribute to the turn of the century dapper style with modern elegance. Its jewel-toned, dusty hues set the stage for this retro romance. Golden rays of sunset beamed through the orange groves. The historic Swanner House, at A Stone’s Throw Winery, was built in 1923 in San Juan Capistrano and has been named a historic landmark. Its located on 2.6 acres of land and hosts weddings and events as an all outdoor venue.
Janet Wheeland was there to capture all the fun details, Charlotte’s Sweets provided the beautiful cake, and Joy N’ Company Events planned every detail.
Michelle Searles with Joy N’ Company Events was the visionary and coordinator along with her styling assistant, Brontë Yarbrough. Megan, with Lovestruck Blooms, took Michelle’s vision and brought it to life with her unique floral styling.
Extra Dirty Vintage has a unique collection of vintage-inspired night ware so we used to of their silk night robes for our bride and bridesmaid and accented our bride with a white blazer for some extra flare.

Big shout out to all the vendors that made this photoshoot possible! And thank you to my dear friends Marcus, Michele, Nate and Kaitlyn for being our wonderful models.
I love capturing the details and the behind the scene of a wedding day… Even before the bride and groom get to see each other.

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.
