Laguna Beach, Ca:  Angelica & Marcelos’ wedding ceremony was held in a gazebo overlooking the ocean in Laguna Beach.  It was a very intimate ceremony with only about 30 guest and family present.  Most of Marcelos’ family could not be at the wedding due to the location, but they are planning another large wedding where all their family and friends can come and celebrate together.  The reception was at Las Brisas which happens to be one of my wife’s favorite restaurants.  This wedding was one of the most emotional and heart felt ceremonies I have been a part of.  Marcelos cried no less than 3 separate times during the day and even one of the servers broke out in tears by the words that were spoken.

Laguna Beach, CA: Hilda and Kevin are getting married on July 17th in Placentia, Ca and I had the privilege to shot there engagement photos at the main beach in Laguna beach. When you think of a name like Hilda you do not picture a young energetic Spanish women, but that is what you get. My Mom lives down the street so I got to spend some time with my Mom and shot a awesome engagement shoot. I call that a productive day. Enjoy.

Laguna Beach, CA: Jamie & Charlie just got engaged a few weeks ago. They are both originally from the mid-west, but meet and fell in love with each other in California. They have not booked a date for the wedding yet, but will be sometime next year. They were both so natural in front of the camera and needed very little direction to get them to laugh, smile, or just have fun. I was so excited about there pictures that I stayed up late and finish editing them all!!! I usually don’t do that, but I know I had some winners in this set. Check them out.

Laguna Beach, CA:  Phil & Denise are getting married on 12-12-09 at Mission Viejo Lake.  There friendship and relationship first started by there mutual interest in Volleyball.  Phil knew of this really nice beach area down in Laguna Beach so we meet for the engagement session.  I have never been to this beach, but I think I will be back in the future.  I tried to capture more of them just interacting and having fun.  Phil seemed to want to get done with the photo’s at the begin, but towards the end he did not want to stop.

Laguna Beach, CA:  Hotel Laguna is a nice venue for a wedding.  I have assisted there several time, but this was my first time shooting a Wedding there as the head photographer.  It was a small wedding which gave it a very intemit feel to the ceremony.  The best part of having a wedding in Laguna is the beach.  It started out very overcasted but cleared up just in time for some nice Bride & Groom shots.  Enjoy.

I really like this shot.  The colors really pop on those flowers.

Wow.  I don’t know how I did it, but I love the way the sun flared in this shot.
