Angela and Paul's Wedding

Angela and Paul exchanged vows at Saint Philip Benizi Church followed by a fabulous celebration at the beautiful Muckenthaler Mansion in the city of Fullerton. Angela was absolutely stunning in her lace gown which was custom made by Laura Bravo and Paul was quite handsome in his Friar Tux (popular place for OC guys). The florals were gorgeous too (Glass Slipper Florist)...I couldn't get over how amazing Angela's bouquet was.

Angela and Paul took dance lessons prior to their wedding day, and boy was their performance perfect! I was quite impressed when Angela assured me that Paul must really love her if he agreed to dance to a choreographed routine. Great job Paul! In fact, I think all of the applause gave him a tremendous amount of confidence (it was either that or the beers) because later that night, he broke out into his own hip-hop routine. Angela seemed surprised to say the least. Heehee!

I had a wonderful time working with these two, as well as their friends and family.

Don and Debbie's Wedding

What a great couple! When I met Don and Debbie, we talked for hours and hours...about EVERYTHING! I just knew they were going to be pleasant to work with. And when I photographed their special day, there was definite love in the air, not to mention a barrel of laughs.

Don and Debbie tied the knot at a charming little church called First Baptist Church of Yorba Linda. The celebration was held at Debbie's parents' house in Fullerton. I came to visit the location a few days prior to the event, where I got a view of this lovely home and had the pleasure of meeting Debbies family. Wonderful people! The whole family took a part in the decorating process. Mrs. Dymand had florals and ribbon all over the house. Don even arrived to the church ahead of time to add last minute details.

Catering was provided by Dinner at Eight and the delicious cake was made by my favorite cake company ever, Beverly's Best. Debbie wore a simple and elegant gown (bought at Allusions in Brea)that complimented her beautiful shape. And Don looked mighty dapper in his Friar Tux.

They had a really wonderful DJ (Tony D's Productions) that really got the crowd up and interacting with one another. It was great fun!

Destinie and Jarod's Wedding

Young couple, Destinie and Jarod tied the knot on June 16, 2007. So sweet is young love! It was quite special too. Jarod's father was the pastor whom performed the nuptials. We had a great time roaming around Whittier College prior to their ceremony. Destinie was a natural in front of the camera, while Jarod was anxious to get back and make it official (he really just didn't want to keep his father waiting...that, plus it was REALLY hot). Congratulations and best wishes for a bright future together!

Jeremy and Ashley - Engagement

South Coast Winery was a fabulous location to shoot this e-session. Jeremy and Ashley enjoy wine tasting together and this vineyard is one of their favorites in the Temecula area. And now I know why. I had a blast working with these two. They were willing to do just about anything I asked. Their adventurous nature allowed me to capture some beautiful images. And I think it is apparent just how in love this couple is. Jeremy couldn't stop running his fingers through Ashley's hair and Ashley couldn't stop giggling. She has one of those great laughs where she throws her head back and gives it her all. I can't wait to shoot their wedding in August!
