Ritz Carlton Wedding Laguna Niguel

by carly on January 5, 2011

I try to not reveal too much when I do sneak peek blog posts because I want my clients to be surprised when they finally see all their images.  It was really difficult to choose just a few images of Chris and Meredith’s wedding for their sneak peek, so here’s bloggy #2 of their wedding :)   This gorgeous couple made it official last September at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel in a sunny seaside ceremony (try saying that 5 times fast!)  Meredith wore a dazzling (and heavy) Justin Alexander wedding gown.  You can probably tell I was a little obsessed by how many photos I took of the gown by itself…

This image is appearing in my next batch of postcard mailers.

I wanted to get “just a few more shots” before leaving for the ceremony at the Ritz Carlton, and boy am I glad I did!Huntington Beach family photographer

I just adore a wedding gown with buttons up the back.  It’s kind of old fashioned in a way, but totally romantic and bridal feeling :)  Orange County wedding photographer

The coolest (and most comfortable) wedding day transportation EVER!  Thanks Big Woody Tours!  The top image was taken by me, the bottom by my 2nd photographer.  It’s great to have the same image taken from 2 different prospectives, with different lenses, in the same amount of time.Laguna Beach wedding venue

September 27, 2010 Ritz Carlton

When I met Meredith for the first time about 9 months ago, she made it clear to me that she was game for doing pretty much anything to get an awesome photo.  Her eyes lit up as she explained how much she wanted to lay on the staircase at the Ritz Carlton, and that was [...]

Pamela and Michael had some of the most creative wedding details I’ve ever seen.  From the self serve candy buffet with customized M&Ms, to the personalized signs decorating the reception, the details alone were a feast for the eyes.  The day began at the majestic Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, where we took advantage of [...]
