Wedding photos at a Private Estate In Orange County:
Aneesa and Bradd found my wedding photography work online and after only a few emails decided to book me. It is always a real honor for me when couples trust me so wholeheartedly, but with this wonderful couple it was not only their wedding day that they wanted captured, but also their e-session, a holiday portrait session, their wedding rehearsal dinner, and also a welcome party before their special day.
By the time it came to their wedding day itself, we had already got to know each other quite well and it was an absolute pleasure capturing their wedding at Private Estate In Orange County. My wife Charlene was my second photographer for the day and we arrived around late-morning at the private estate in Orange County where the wedding was being held. We were both blown away by not only the venue, but also the details and decor selected by Aneesa and Bradd, creating a distinctively luxurious and glamorous wedding event.

Getting ready photos at Private Estate In Orange County:
We began the day photographing Aneesa and her bridesmaids as they were getting ready, as well as capturing a few touching moments with her parents and mother-in-law as they shared in this special morning. We did a more formal portrait shoot with Bradd in his distinguished suit, backed by an elegant wooden staircase within the private estate.
It had been raining the last couple of days in Southern California and there were still some showers throughout the morning. It has never rained during a wedding ceremony that I have photographed and I was seriously thinking that my lucky streak was going to end. But a few minutes before the ceremony started the clouds parted!
