Three date changes and two venue changes and Stefan and Justene are finally wed! Wow what a celebration it was too! A Stones Throw Winery (AKA Swanner House) was a beautiful outdoor setting with the rolling hills and wildflowers as the view for the ceremony and reception. It was even the perfect blue skies, sun shinny SoCal weather we all love!
Stefan and Justene, I am so incredibly happy for you two! You are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met and I was so honored to photograph your engagement session and wedding day.
Justene got ready with her girls at her parents house and surprised all her bridesmaids, parents and her grandma with gifts.
Dog of Honor!!
Stefan got ready at his parents house and gave gifts to each of the guys.
During Stefan and Justene’s First Look they read their personal vows to each other.
Stefan’s Brother was FaceTimed in from the UK since he wasn’t able to make it due to Covid restrictions. Thank God for technology!

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.
