Lorissa and Brian were lucky enough to have 2 wedding celebrations- the legal ceremony in Oregon, and a reception celebration at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo. For couples whose families live in different geographical areas, this is one way they can structure their wedding festivities. Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club boasts beautiful grounds, and was the perfect setting for an summertime evening reception. The night began with an outdoor cocktail hour, then guests were invited indoors for a delicious dinner, and the rest of the celebration took place in the candle lit outdoor lounge area. Since the “real” wedding was already over and done with, Lorissa and Brian were totally relaxed and stress-free, which definitely made for some great photos.
Tricia was kind enough to set up the bouquets so perfectly for this photo!
Having a 2nd photographer at a wedding is key for capturing moments like this that are gone in a split second. As Lorissa adjusts her hairpiece, her maid of honor ties the bow on her gown.
Yet another example of why the 2nd photographer is so important- while I’m capturing the shot directly below…
The 2nd shooter stood on the table and snapped this sweet pic. The different lens and angle give this image a whole new perspective.
