Agua Dulce, CA: Jessica and Nick’s Private Estate Wedding!

Nick and Jessica, how can we even begin to describe your amazing wedding day? Every moment was filled with such joy, excitement, and love. It was a celebration of two incredibly wonderful people who we know were meant to be together! Erin and I always enjoy listening to the speeches people give at weddings; many times you can take away so much about the couple and who they are individually and together as a whole. The words spoken by your closest friends and family are a true testimony to your character and to your loving hearts both for each other and for others. It was such a privilege to see first hand the joining of two wonderful people and two wonderful families. Your day was so beautiful!

Nick and Jessica, your love is infectious! May you always awake with joy as you move into the days and years as husband and wife! Thank you for allowing Erin and I to be a small part in your amazing story. We were so excited from your wedding that we literally rushed home to look through all of our images; and we can’t wait to show you just a handful of our favorite moments. We treasure you both and are SO happy for you!!

Kristianna and Bryan’s Engagement in Laguna Beach!

So this guy walks into a bar…

Now, I know what you’re thinking…and no I’m not about to delight you all with my humor. Rather, it’s the beginning to a story about an unlikely meeting between two amazing people. It all started when Bryan walked leisurely into Landmark Steakhouse in Corona del Mar to enjoy some food and drinks. Not even 15 feet in the door he spots her from across the room, and the rest just faded into the background as far as he was concerned. He knew he had to talk to her. And not too long ago, he realized he couldn’t spend the rest of his life without her!

So in preparing to write this blog I asked Erin, “Give me one word to describe Kristianna and Bryan”

Her reply….”They’re a hot couple!” HAHA, not quite one word, but I’d say that does a great job!

Both of them are just the nicest, most sincere people you’ll ever meet and when it comes to them being together in front of the camera, they are dynamite! We loved their style and attention to detail, Kristianna did her homework, and created such a fun and romantic atmosphere for their locations.

Erin and I LOVED that they chose their first spot to be the place where they first met, and thanks to the awesome manager at Landmark, we were able to take them back to the spot where they first locked eyes and began their journey.

Following our romantic time at the restaurant, we headed down to Laguna Beach to a private little cove that they love to visit. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, we had such a great time as the sun set behind the cliffs.

We are SO excited share some of our favorite images with them and cannot wait for their wedding at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana Point this coming February! We would have never met these two had it not been for the ever-fabulous Vanessa Vasquez of V3 Wedding and Events, one of our favorite coordinators!

Now, while we count down the days until February, here are a few of our favorite images to hold you over! Enjoy!

Sarah and Ryan’s Engagement Session in Dana Point!

Ah…it’s the first day of Summer, and love is in the air!

But we couldn’t start off our week without sharing with you a couple that can’t help but put a smile on our faces. Sarah and Ryan knew exactly where they wanted their engagement session to take place and were excited to say the least! They are getting married in less than a month, and in less than two seconds of seeing them together, you could tell how they can’t wait for their wedding day to hurry up and be here already!! :)

Well we can’t wait either, and we had such a great time with them walking around Old Town San Juan Capistrano and then heading down to their boat harbored at the Dana Point Marina. We’ve always wanted to photograph a couple on a boat, and we can’t get over how cute these two were together when they were just relaxing on the water; letting the cares of the world drift away. And as far as they’re concerned, all is right with the world when Sarah is in Ryan’s arms….and we have to agree. Perfection.
