I didn’t meet this couple until the actual wedding day which is unusual. So I was pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous of a couple they are! They had a small ceremony on a Monday evening. It was so nice meeting this couple and their close family and friends.

Ceremony: The Villa San Juan Capistrano
Reception: Javiers, Newport Coast

The guys played pool while getting ready.

I couldn’t get enough of Torrie with this decor!

Sweet little ceremony.

The wedding party.

The bride and groom, referred by my previous couple Leilah and Zack. How hot are my couples?!

Entrance into Javier’s where more friends mingled.

This wedding inspired me to come up with something I like to call the “Wedding Trifecta”. What is the “Wedding Trifecta” you ask?
It is:
1. Rad Couple
2. Fun Details
3. Wild Party
Some weddings will have 2 out of 3 and it’s still a great wedding or 1 out of 3, which is still acceptable. However when you run into all 3, you’ve hit the wedding jackpot.

I did. As I usually do.

Ceremony: Heritage Square Museum
Reception: Eagle Rock Center for the Arts

Their band photo.

Loved all the fun details at the reception.

I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure this is the cutest cake topper ever.

Dance party.

They’re “adorkable”!! They made up that gem. I cannot take credit.
