I’ll admit … I went a little crazy with this post. I just couldn’t narrow the field to fewer than these 25 images. What can I say? Monique was a stunning bride. I loved the piece she added to her gown around her shoulders, to make it extra special, rather than “just another beautiful strapless gown.” I think it absolutely made the dress.
And, as you know, I love shooting at Occasions at Laguna Village. The setting just can’t get any better. Their wedding was in the middle of a sunny day, so lighting was tricky, but we made it work. There’s no other option, right!
Kudos, as always to Dayna and her daughter, who coordinate Occasions weddings flawlessly; Annie of La Tulipe Florals who always wows; and Rev. Michael Ahern, who performed a heartfelt and touching ceremony.
Starting the processional. The moment when reality hits and the groom and guests see her for the first time.
A gorgeous puffy cloud day.
I think they’re married!
Brown’s Park, the little walkway just north of the property.
Even a parking lot can provide an interesting backdrop!
Just a white wall in the corner of the property. Gorgeous!!!
First dance.
Groom and Mom is always a shot that has so much emotion.
Giving myself props for capturing the bouquet before it was caught 🙂
Priceless view from Occasions.
I love this shot AND the little pocket park where this metal fence resides. Isn’t it beautiful?
One of those serendipitous moments that turns into a beautiful capture.
