Samah and Miguel

This wedding was two weeks ago, on February 18th. I started out with the 'getting ready' photos at Miguel's parents' house. The ceremony took place at Desert Christian Fellowship. And the reception was at The Cedars. The day went pretty much according to plan, though the wedding started about 30 minutes late, but I see many ceremonies start late. Miguel and Samah and their families were very nice. Congrats to Miguel and Samah!

These doors with the window light and the red carpet reminded me of the Oscars; made a perfect spot to place the dress, carefully!


The bride's son, Enrico, was a dapper little ring bearer.






The little flower girl-- I caught a moment.



This is during the license signing, our ring bearer was deep in thought in his own world.

All of the family from both sides.


A moment of silliness.







Loved their tablecloth choice-- gave such texture and flair to the reception room.



The Le Marche...always fun times!

Orange County Engagement Session

These are super neat because the engagement session was in California, lasted all day, and is of a super cute and sweet couple, Adele and Kevin. I flew in to Orange County on Thursday morning, and then flew out late that evening. Kevin picked me up from the airport while Adele was returning from the salon. We photographed at their home in Yorba Linda for a bit. Then we went to a vineyard for some fun and beautiful scenery. I joined them for lunch and wine. Then the wild ride to to beach. We had to hurry to catch the sun before it set. Kevin is a good driver, but I swear he has driven race cars in this or another life! (Just kidding, you were fine Kevin.)
We had a really great day.

Well without further a do, here they are!

They are big baseball fans!

This is their little family.






It was bright out and hot (for California, 72 is hot!); gorgeous day!

Or maybe this is why is seemed so warm out...Adele & Kevin were giving me some super hot photos!







Kevin thought he would give the camera his super model 'look'...

Anyone guess 'Zoolander' was the inspiration?






This is exactly where Kevin proposed to Adele. She was brought from the spa area to here, where he was awaiting with champagne and a heart made
of rose petals, and an impressive diamond ring!












My back was to the water, so I couldn't warn them that
it was coming, and they were busy kissing. Too funny!
