Andrea & Chris
Last Sunday I had a blast hanging out in Laguna Beach with these two. Andrea was so much fun. She was smiles all day. It even started raining really hard right as she was coming down the isle for the ceremony. I loved it.
The wedding took place at The Beautiful Surf & Sand Hotel. If you are looking for an amazing wedding location be sure to check out the Surf & Sand. You can hear the waves crashing during the ceremony. It’s so beautiful. Sandy or Shannon will take great care of you over there.
The couple hired Jennifer of OC’s Finest Weddings to make there beautiful day run perfect. She did an amazing job as always.
The flowers were provided by Flower Allie Weddings. I’m lucky to get a handful of weddings with Flower Allie each year. They always do a great job.
The makeup for the girls was done by the always amazing Carina.
The ceremony was performed by Don Johnson. I love the fact that I have Don at so many of my weddings every year. He always makes the ceremony so special.
They also had Daniel from DV Artistry doing the video. He did a same day edit for the couple. He did an amazing video presentation during the reception of footage that was shoot that day. It was a big hit.
The reception was a blast. They had an amazing band that really kept the party going. You have to check them out if you are considering a band for your wedding. The Antix
I always love it when I get to work with such a great team of vendors. So I had to mention everybody.
Here are a few images from the day.

Andrea and her Mom. I love these moments





I love it when I can catch the dad when he first sees he’s daughter in the dress.






Almost time to walk down the isle. It’s great to catch the bride with her father in the minutes leading up to the ceremony.



My 2nd photographer of the day caught this great shot of the groom having a moment alone just before the ceremony.

I love the fact that Andrea was all smiles even as the rain was coming down pretty hard during the ceremony. It really made for a great moment.


Mother of the bride was also all smiles even though you can see she is getting pretty wet.

The ceremony site has such a great view.

The rain let up just after the ceremony ended.







The groom took a cigar break.

I love the black chairs

They also booked my photo booth. It was a hit as always.


Mom was holding back the tears during her toast.

The couple had a great treat for all the guests at the end of the night. Jack in the Box taco’s.
