Hotel Seven4One Wedding in Laguna Beach, CA

Oh Happy Day! Today we have the wedding of Michael and Anne at the Hotel Seven4One in Laguna Beach. It sure was a happy day for the two and we were excited to share this special time with them. We have known Michael for several years now as my husband Jeff works with him at Swell. Over the years the guys have become friends and I only briefly met Anne a couple of times. We were thrilled that they asked us to shoot their wedding and I was excited to have the opportunity to get to know Anne a little better while working through her wedding process. We loved working with them, their family and the Hotel Seven4One. The couple has been together for several years and have a 3 year old son, Mason. Anne was worried Mason wouldn't last all day in his tuxedo, but once he saw his dad all dressed up, it was all good! Though Mason fell asleep in the middle of the day, we have a funny photo of that to share later. Their day was perfect!

Here is their story, starting with their first look we did of them in front of the Hotel Seven4One. Loved the moment and we hope you do too. Congratulations again, to Michael and Anne on your marriage. All the best to you and your little family.







Both Anne's Mom and Mother-In-Law were helping her into her dress. Loved this shot of both Mom's Hands!

During the excitement of the First Look for Michael and Anne, their son Mason fell asleep. :-)
Thankfully he perked back up just before the ceremony and in time to walk down the aisle.

Laguna Village Wedding by An All Inclusive Event

It is on days like this one that we love what we do! It was a gorgeous day for a Laguna Beach Wedding as Chris and Saiko said their I-do's in front of their family and friends at Laguna Village. The two are a great couple to work with and they chose such a fabulous wedding location at Laguna Village to have their oceanfront wedding. Here are some moments from their wedding day that we just had to share.

This was a fun moment as Chris twirled his bride around to the audience as they were announced husband and wife!




Just after the ceremony we took the bride and groom with their wedding party down to the beach for a little photo shoot before sunset. Here are a few shots that we captured.






The Wedding Party!
Sometimes you just have to kick off your shoes and have a little fun!!!



Here Saiko was brushing the sand off her feet after our shoot at the beach. This was exactly how the moment happened...Love it!

First Dance
While Chris and Saiko were dancing I looked over to my hubby Jeff as we realized they were dancing to our wedding song. Needless to say the dance shots were captured with a little tear in the eye for me as I am such a sap!


10 years ago we too danced to Savage Garden " I knew I loved You"



Dip and Kiss at the conclusion of their first dance!




Father-Daughter Dance, such a sweet moment!

Irvine Woodbury Wedding | Brandon+Kristen= Married

Today we have some amazing moments from Brandon and Kristen's wedding to share. It was a gorgeous day to photograph a wedding at the Woodbury Community in Irvine, California. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this couple and were so honored to share their wedding day with them. A big congratulations to you both! We wish you many happy years together sharing your love.

This fabulous day started at the Woodbury Clubhouse for some pre-ceremony shots of our bride, Kristen getting ready. Then we headed off to the Great Lawn at Woodbury for their wedding ceremony. When I first saw the Great Lawn it gave me this grandiose feeling as it was so vast and beautiful. Such a "GREAT" spot to say I-do! After moments with the couple during their ceremony and photos with their family and wedding party we headed over to the Courtyard at the Club in Woodbury where the cocktail hour and wedding reception were held. This was such a great location for a wedding as you had so many different options for your celebration that were all close by. It was a great party, we even stayed a little late to share in the celebration by having a few drinks with the couple and doing a little dancing. Anyone who knows me, knows I love to dance!

Here they are Brandon and Kristen... Cheers+Love, J+D
