What a beautiful memorial day weekend in sunny California! But for Renee and Mike it was a weekend they would never forget. Renee and Mike tied the knot in Dana Point California at a grand location with magnificent ocean views under clear blue sky’s. I was able to photograph there engagement session months before the big day and what a great time we had! Such an awesome couple! The event was perfectly planned by the one and only Ruth Wang from Plan2perfection.com. She always creates gorgeous events and not to mention awesome to work with! I also was in luck to be able to work with Kyle from Elysium Productions. I really enjoy there unobtrusive and professional style. The reception was the highlight of the day with spectacular views from club 19 as all the guest enjoyed cocktails and a extravagant meal. The party was powered by Jim Izzo from Honored Occasions. He definitely knows how to keep the guests on there feet.

     What a fun evening we had last night in San Juan Capistrano. Mike and Debbie are getting married in September here in the OC and wanted to get a jump on there engagement session. I ended up photographing between 500 to 600 images for a variety of backgrounds and clothing options. Many of our couples like to choose one of our many albums and collages to display at there rehearsal dinner party or the actual wedding day. They were a blast to photograph and anything I suggested they did so naturally! Thanks guys!

Here they are! Gabby and Ernesto married at the lush Dove Canyon Country Club. The ceremony took place over looking the 18th hole as you can see in the background minutes before sunset. After racing thru all the formal portraits we rushed down below to capture the final moments at dusk. Just like there engagement session they were both naturals when it came to creating a romantic feel. Once we completed a series of photographs they were then introduced to a spectacular reception created by the one and only lisasimpsonweddings.com. To get the party started was the “OC’s busiest DJ Mr. Peter Papadopoulos from Vive Entertainment.
