Howdy, Folks!

My how time flies. I could have sworn I was just ringing in 2011 not too long ago, and now we’re already sending our regards to the first quarter of the year. It can’t just me who feels this way either. Why is that the older we get, the quicker time seems to pass us by.

Anyways, to send off the first quarter of the year, let’s share Sarah & James’ big wedding day in Orange County. This wedding was a really fun one to be a part of because these two were so in love and so happy that it was contagious. It was also really fun to be a part of that wedding because Linda, Lavish Celebrations, was the wedding planner for the event and happens to be a college buddy of mine. It was the first time we got to work with each other and I was definitely impressed with the way she kept the entire day on schedule and how attentive she was to detail. It will be the first of many times working together.

The wedding ceremony was held at the St. John Baptist Parish in Costa Mesa. Here you can see Linda properly pinning  the boutonniere on James, who was quite ecstatic on his big day.

Here is our first look at Sarah, the lovely bride.

After the wedding ceremony at St. John, Linda headed over to the Center Club in Costa Mesa, where the wedding reception was taking place, and Doug and I took our couple over to The LAB Anti-Mall for a quick portrait session.

In no time, we wrap the portrait session and make our way over to the Center Club for the wedding reception. To celebrate Sarah’s Thai heritage, they hired a group of traditional Thai dancers to kick off the reception.

The couple thanking all of their wonderful friends and family who were able to share their wedding day with them.

What an amazing day with an amazing couple who have so many great memories to look forward to for the their lives. It was a blast and our pleasure to be a part of such a intimate day. Thank you and congratulations once again, Sarah & James!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers,

Danny

It’s finally time to blog about Nina and Ren’s big wedding day at the Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. It’s a beautiful venue in orange county with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. You may remember Nina and Ren’s engagement session in San Francisco all around Golden Gate Park from a while back with Doug. It was such a fun time together in the rain back then and the fun definitely kept on rolling back here in Laguna Beach.

Such stunning detail in the Indian henna art! It’s a typical Indian custom for weddings and is just visually stimulating.

A couple of bridesmaids practicing a special surprise dance for the lucky groom.

This loved one hung out with us during their engagement session in San Francisco and wasn’t going to miss out on the festivities at the Surf and Sand Resort.

Could you believe Ren told us he was shy and not photogenic? Yeah, I guess you can.

That orange is so hot!

It was quite an epic day filled with lots of celebration and it was a pleasure to be a part of their Indian wedding. I can’t congratulate you guys enough, Nina and Ren! Best of luck in everything!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers,

Danny
