Orange County Wedding Photographers: Alicia + Carlos Wedding

She thought nothing of his plans to spend the weekend at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. It was her birthday after all. "Surely he is just being his sweet self making big plans for my birthday", she thought. They started out with a romantic dinner and some wine. They proceeded to stroll around the hotel grounds enjoying the spectacular view of the pacific. As they headed back to the hotel, they chanced upon a piano in the hotel's lobby. Carlos sat down and started playing to the tune of "Growing Old with You". Though smitten by this romantic gesture, she thought to herself: "he should just play this when he proposes to me..". They then went back to their room but as she opened the door, she saw scattered petals leading up to the table with a small box on top. He opened the box and knelt down. Before he could even say a word, tears started running down her face. Almost a year ago, on Alicia's birthday, Carlos professed his love for Alicia and asked her to marry him. The response of course, was a resounding YES!!!

This is our first wedding shoot at the Wayfarer's Chapel. We were thrilled when we found out the venue of the ceremony. We've always wanted to shoot a wedding here. Designed by Lloyd Wright, son of the prominent architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chapel's unique design has also made it a must-see in Southern California.

Like I mentioned in the sneak preview, these two have got to be the goofiest couple we've shot so far - making for some cool and relaxed photos. Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. Your families have also been more than accommodating. The best of luck to you both.

Below are some favorites. Link to the slideshow is at the bottom of this post. Feel free to leave us a comment.

Not even fully made-up yet, you could see the glow in Alicia
