Gaston and Raylene met at church at St. Thomas More and cultivated a friendship through Bible Study and hiking. Gaston was in the process of obtaining his Confirmation and he asked Raylene if she would be his sponsor (Godmother) and I said yes. They went to dinner in Laguna Beach to celebrate and have been together ever since!
Gaston and Raylene were really looking forward to their Catholic Wedding Ceremony and take the sanctity of marriage very seriously and know how intimate and meaningful the ceremony would be.
Just after their wedding ceremony they had their dog, Mosely, waiting for them just outside to show them love. He was so darling with his little tuxedo collar and gave lots of kisses. 🙂
They also couldn’t wait to party and DANCE all night! And they did!! In the heat of the summer it was to hot to dance inside so most of the party was out on the terrace and a beautiful night it was.
Gaston and Raylene, I am so happy for you and the love you share for each other and for God. I hope your love continues to grow and multiply over the years. Congtrats!!

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.
