It’s been busy over here at CDP since Chriss and I got home from our week-long trip to Indian Wells to photograph a destination wedding, then Las Vegas for WPPI. I’ve been DYING to get a sneak peek of Julia & Robert’s wedding up, and here it is! It was so amazing to see all my Chapman University peeps, and more specifically my Delta Gamma sistas ;) The biggest treat though was being able to watch this beautiful couple unite in marriage after so many years of dating. Keep checking back because I’ll be posting much more from this fabulous wedding…
PS- Panther pride, woot woot!

Exquisite details on Julia’s Oscar de la Renta wedding gown.

Julia’s mom fixing her daughter’s veil. What a tearjerker!

I love Megan’s reaction to seeing Julia in her gown for the first time.

Julia’s grandmother’s gorgeous antique bracelet.

It’s a Delta Gamma tradition to wear your badge on your wedding day. Julia’s maid of honor, Sarah, is seen here pinning Julia’s badge.

Work it girl!

I’m always looking for little pockets of pretty lighting, and here’s one in front of the sliding glass door. Much of the time, the background is secondary to the lighting.

Gotta show off those amazing wedding shoes!

I’m a sucker for bride/father moments…

The handsome groom!

My 2nd photographer, Brooke, captured this great candid of Robby with his parents.

Pat. Taking care of business :)

Guys being guys. Put them around sports and this is what you get, haha!

I have no problem risking a grass stain for a photo like this!

The cake topper was a replica of the bride and groom’s wedding shoes. Julia made the table numbers out of her engagement session photos. They brought a piece of poster board to the session and put the numbers on there before they had the images printed.

Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar created gorgeous wedding centerpieces and a bridal bouquet from an eclectic assortment of white and off white blooms.

The world famous Bob Gail Special Events team provided reception entertainment as well as coordinating and event design services. Here is Julia’s dad giving a speech on their awesome stage.

Some very emotional toasts. These are my favorite reception images.

All the Delta Gamma ladies (including me)!

All the Chapman University peeps!

The cocktail hour room at Indian Wells Country Club was transformed into a killer after party with a DJ, yummy treats, and a cigar lounge.
