Cheryl + Chad got married in a beautiful park in Dana Point and had their reception at a cute little cottage in San Clemente. Here’s a few of my faves:

Ceremony: Latern Bay Park Dana Point
Reception: Historic Cottage in San Clemente

Love this shot of the guys by my 2nd shooter Jeret.

Lantern Bay Park:

Really cool ceremony details.

Practicing their dance.

Successful at their actual dance!

Jamie + Jaime have the same name and great smiles. And that’s why we love them! We got to spend extra time with them with two fun engagements: Here and Here. Jamie was also in Lindsey’s wedding and Lindsey was in hers!

Ceremony: St Matthews Church
Reception: The Mission Inn

Jamie was one of the happiest brides I’ve ever seen! She was grinning from ear to ear all day.

Love shooting in St. Matthews. Lots of light and lots to work with.

So excited with how these came out! It’s truly amazing when they actually turn out because I’m guessing at everything: where I start the film, where to take a picture and how far to turn the lever. The piece on the back of the Holga that tells me what frame it’s on fell off a long time ago. I get a lot of double exposures that way as you can see : )

I was so happy this one came out. I really loved this old lady walking by.

Loved talking with this man! An artist in Soho and his dog. To the left is a double exposure from another picture.

It’s back to school time so this post is fitting!  I always encourage couples to choose a place for their engagement pictures that reflects them or just something different. And Laura + DeeJay came up with the middle school where they met about 10 years ago. She liked him in one of her classes and didn’t like him in another until she realized it was the same person! So funny.

Really excited for their carnival-ish themed Labor Day wedding!

Thought this mural was the perfect backdrop for a Polaroid.

She liked him in gym; didn’t like him in Math. She didn’t recognize him when he had his glasses on!

Lunch line and one of their actual teachers. He was so nice to let us use his room.

Dogs!

This was one of my favorite weddings ever, shot at Ponte Winery. It was a super easy relaxed day with just the right amount of time for pictures, everyone was easy going, gorgeous and happy! It was very sweet and emotional. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed or cried as much as I did at this wedding. It was extremely hard to choose pictures for the blog; I hope I did it justice!

Lindsey and Patrick are beautiful on the outside and inside.

Hello blue eyes!

Good looking wedding party.

Reception details.

First dance.

I just love this of Lindsey and her dad.

Lindsey’s grandma and grandpa.

The groom is a twin so there were 3 sets of twins at this wedding, so of course there needed to be a dance off! I’m obsessed with twins and dancing so when the two combine- I’m ecstatic!! I love how all the twins are in similar positions to each other. The girls won by a landslide!

Lindsey’s mom surprised them with an old car.
