I absolutely LOVE Christmas, infact growing up my Mom would call me “Little Miss Christmas”. I love decorating the house, baking cookies, the glow of lights on houses and the smell of a fresh pine tree in the living room. So you can only imagine how excited I was when Cori (Events by Cori) and Bonnie (The Tangled Vine) asked me to be a part of this Christmas inspired Wedding at Bella Collina San Clemente.
Christmas in southern California is much different than a lot of other places. We wanted to feature a California Christmas as it truly is with sun shinning, sleeveless gowns and the playfulness of the Christmas spirit. The Tangled Vine’s incredible pops of crimson in the florals balanced perfectly with the unique furniture and table ware rentals from Sun Drop Vintage and the unique leaf pattern stitching on the Casa Blanca Flagship wedding gown all came together magically. See a list of the fantastic team that put this all together at the bottom of the blog post.
Enjoy!
How darling at Plumeria Cake Studio’s little chocolate covered apple wedding favors?! I just loved all the little desserts they came up with.
Boutonniere in a martini glass? Yes please!! Bella Collina’s featured appetizers aren’t just elegant and beautiful but they taste amazing too. I know from experience. 😉
I just love all the crimson red pops of color. The Tangled Vine’s florals pop so well with the unique furniture from Sundrop Vintage.

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.
