We started the night before with the rehearsal dinner at the Bride’s home.  They had a catered event for their closest friends and family.  Everyone had a wonderfully relaxed time and we enjoyed the funny and heartfelt speeches of the Best Man, Maid and Matron of honor.

The next day we started bright and early while Erin and her 10 Bridesmaids got ready.  Erin looked absolutely gorgeous.  We had lots of fun photographing them at the house before taking off to San Joachim’s Church.  The ceremony was conducted by the priest who married Erin’s parents and baptized Erin.  His words were very touching and the ceremony was beautiful.

After the ceremony it was off to the Island Hotel for the celebration.  Wayne Foster greeted the guests with their non stop music and entertainment complete with plethora of party favors.  The guests danced all night and everyone had a great time.

We wish Erin and Jack all the happiness in the world as they start their new life together.

Ledena and Chris had a beautiful wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. When we arrived, Hair Comes the Bride was working on the final touches on Ledena and the girls as Susan MacDonald took care of every detail. Ashley Productions caught every moment on video. Floral Artistry provided the flower arrangements and the Wayne Foster band kept everyone dancing all night. We had a great time shooting the wedding and we wish Chris and Ledena all the best!

Cyprus Shore is a beautiful private park in San Clemente with a stunning ocean view. This was the perfect setting for Jessica and Chris’ wedding! Paula Laskelle of Champagne Taste took care of every detail. The beautiful flowers were arranged by Enchanted Florist. Craig’s on the Table provided the catering and the Wayne Foster band delivered a superb performance, as always.

We recently had the privilege of photographing Francesca and Brian’s wedding. The incredible reception at the Ritz Carlton followed a touching Church ceremony. Square Root did the beautiful flowers, special furnishings and lighting, every highlight was captured by Ashley Productions video crew, the Wayne Foster Band provided the entertainment and everything came together under the direction of wedding coordinator Leah Cullen.

When we arrived at this beautiful Victorian landmark built in 1888, the Square Root team was bringing in the flowers while Marisa and the girls were finishing their makeup. We had the pleasure of meeting wedding coordinator Leah Cullen in person for the first time. Leah did a fantastic job, was very helpful and everything ran smooth as silk.

Frank Sinatra serenaded the wedding party to and from St. Mary Magdalene Church in a vintage trolly car. We got to the church right on time and Father Eugene gave a beautiful Mass.

Once back at Hotel Del, the guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres while we photographed the Bride and Groom on the grounds of this beautiful location. Merrill Marker of Hotel Del had the ballroom ready in plenty of time for us to capture every detail. The room was breathtaking. Square Root never ceases to amaze us!

The Wayne Foster Band took the reception to a whole new level with their great sound, style, costume changes and interaction with the crowd. They always put on a terrific performance and the guests couldn’t stop talking about them.

Enjoy this small preview of Marisa and Bryan’s photographs.
