Just Married: Kathy & Mike

They met one unassuming day,
at the Mission of San Juan Capistrano. 

Through Christ they fell in love and with Him, on a beautiful November day, they said their "I do's." 

It was only fitting that because Kathy and Mike met at the historic Mission in San Juan Capistrano, they had to get married there too!





















Kathy you are glowing!





What a stunner!





I had the honor of witnessing a special moment between Mother and Daughter...





...who skipped happily down the halls...










Daughter, Maid of Honor, and friend, Heather Renee.




Mike, all dolled up.









My 1st, First LOOK!  For those of you who aren't familiar with what a "First Look" is, it is a more current tradition that a lot of couples are choosing to do.  The Bride and her Groom and their Wedding Photographer, capture the moment the Bride and Groom see one another for the first time, in a private setting before the ceremony.  I was introduced to the concept by one of my faves in the industry, Jasmine Star.  This was the 1st Wedding I had ever captured the "First Look" myself and it was amazingly awesome!   Thank you to Kathy and Mike for working with me and allowing me to be a piece of this moment!





One of my favorites of the day! 















The Mission grounds were incredible, and The Serra Chapel was no exception!










Following the Wedding Ceremony, the new Mr. & Mrs. were serenaded by a Mariachi Band...















...who followed the Newlyweds on a parade downtown!















The party continued to the reception site, a few blocks from the Chapel.















And they lived happily ever after, through Christ.
