Annie and Drew's at Rancho Las Lomas::: Orange County wedding photography

Drew and Annie's wedding was absolutely beautiful.
The whole day.
Everything from their choice of going simple and wearing Rainbows to seeing 300 of their friends and family SO excited for thier marriage was just- beautiful.
It was a really fun opportunity for me to photograph a wedding at Rancho Las Lomas... because a few years ago I catered a wedding there! This time I got to do what I love!

note! to all the Saddleback friends I saw at this wedding:
HI! It was so fun to see you!

Here's Annie's gorgeous dress. If you read my blog regularily, you know. I love love love lace.

and you also know... i love love LOVE brides who are chilled out and totally themselves on their wedding day. Both Annie and Drew (and the whole wedding party!) wore Rainbow sandals! love it.

here is our totally gorgeous, totally shining bride.

Annie! you're officially amazing.

i love this one

and here's her man, the wonderful Drew Petersen:

turns out we were able to color coordinate with the wall

these girls were such a blast:Annie and Drew and I got to go off and take photos for a while before the wedding. It was so fun! A little adventure through the orange grove was first.

There's this little cafe at Rancho Las Lomas that was great for photos

!

one of my favorites.

Annie and her 4 flower girls!

aww, and here's little Aubrey, Drew's niece. How CUTE is she!

as I was editing these photos I literally had some tears while looking through this section. this is why i love weddings, times like this with the bride and her dad---

and times like this, SO happy right after the ceremony!

and! this is possibly my favorite from the day

later in the evening we went to the orange grove again, when the light was a bit better (ha!)

they had some rad lighting at the reception:

and a fun first dance:

and--- this is possibly the best mother/son moment ever.

i usually don't post bouquet and garter photos, but these are pretty incredible i think:

and there we have it!
congratulations Annie and Drew!
