Cherilyn and Jason chose to celebrate their new life together at one of the most beautiful Orange County wedding venues – Rancho Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano.  Historic charm and privacy make Rancho Capistrano the ideal spot for a gathering such as a wedding.  The variety of awesome backdrops for photos are endless, so if you’re getting married here, take a clue from Cherilyn and Jason and do preformals (bride and groom take pre-ceremony photos together).  As you can tell from the images below, this smitten couple was truly a match made in heaven.  To make a long story short, Jason met Cherilyn at a friend’s party, and just knew she was “the one.”  Now here they are – Mr. and Mrs. Thallmayer! 

I just loved how peaceful Cherilyn looked as her mom laced up her gown

Corset gowns flatter almost all body types

Cherilyn sported some bad-ass bridal shoes!  Grrr!!

Cherilyn peeking out the door as her wedding guests arrive.  I added texture to this image to go along with the old feeling of the architecture at Rancho Capistrano.

The beautious bridesmaids!  Unique color for bridesmaid dress, huh?

If you could see me scaling the dirt hill, about to fall into the lake to get this shot, you would be laughing too.

Can you tell these two are crazy-in-love with each other?

I photographed these next 2 images from 2 different angles, all ambient light (no flash).  Which do you like more?
