Today Brandon and I met up with Christine and Mike in Seal Beach. They were such a fun outgoing couple I can't wait to photograph their wedding. This morning was warm with a nice breeze, by the time it was time to take pictures the sun was gone and the temperature dropped, it was absolutely freezing. Luckily the wind rolled in some beautiful clouds and I was able to capture some amaing pictures.
This afternoon Brandon and I met up with Mimi and David at 1000 Steps in Laguna to take their engagement pictures. If you haven't been there before - there really isn't 1000 steps (I remember reading around 270), but it feels like it on the climb back up. Today was a great day for beach pictures. It was a sunny, breezy, warm day, and we practically had the place all to ourselves.
On Sunday, I had the pleasure of photographing Lily and Dallas at the OCPAC. They married two years ago in Australia, and wanted me to take their annual pictures for 2007. The architecture at OCPAC is so amazing and it was so much fun with all of the designs and angles the location had to offer. Lily and Dallas definitly picked a great place to take pictures.
On January 6, Brandon and I photographed the wedding of Claudia and Ryan. Their beautiful ceremony was at the San Francisco Solano Church in Rancho Santa Margarita, followed by a reception at Tustin Raquet Club. The reception was very entertaining as they hired Irish Dancers to perform, as well as finishing the night with the Snake Dance; where at the end, all of the guys picked up Ryan and through him up in the air as he tried to touch the ceiling - which he did without falling.
On Saturday, Brandon and I met up with Candice and Brian at Downtown Disney. I was lucky enough to take their engagement pictures as they came to California to visit their family for the holidays. We had so much fun with this couple and definitely liked how Brian was really into taking these pictures and coming up with a couple poses himself.
Today Brandon and I photographed the wedding of Steve and Yvette at Rancho Capistrano followed by the reception at a pub called Durty Nelly's. The colors chosen were black, white, and red which went really well with the December season. Everyone had a great time dancing and their photo slideshow was a big hit.
On Sunday, Brandon and I went to Chapman University to take Vanessa and Eric's engagement pictures. Eric and Vanessa chose Chapman because it represents a big part of their lives. They are an adorable couple that had me laughing a few times(running into a garden of rose bushes to get a cool pic). (click on the picture for the full view)
