I was so stoked to finally get to shoot a wedding ceremony inside the Serra Chapel in The Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Then to have one of my other favorite locations for the reception! Going to be a perfect day. On top of it i was working with Priscilla from At Your Service Caters, this was one of her popular All Inclusive Events, plus to top it off my co-founder of Beach City Wwedding s was going to be the DJ, DJ Todd of www.emobilemusic.com.
Matt and Hilary’s wedding day was perfect. Hilary decided to get ready at The Beach City Wedding office it worked out perfect since we are a block from the mission. The Ceremony was in the Serra Chapel inside the mission grounds. We took amazing photos of the ceremony followed by perfect backgrounds for the the family portraits, wedding party and the romantic photos.
We then headed to The Historic Cottage in San Clemente, located in the San Clemente State Park. The reception was perfect. We did have the rain the night before so the reception was tented. Enjoy the images!!!

Atzy and Chad decided to have their engagement photos at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. I love shooting here it has a view around every corner. We met the morning after it rained all night and the mission was empty and the grounds were in perfect condition. One of my favoritew places to shoot is the Sacred Garden with the four bells as a background. I loved that we were able to shoot in there uninterupted. I think we saw 2 other people the whole time we were there.
The fee for doing an engagement session inside the mission is $75.00 for one hour. The photographer must prove proof of insurance to shoot on the property, which we have. If you would like to set up an engagement photo session or a family portrait at the mission San Juan Capistrano make sure to give me a call and we will set it up: 949-481-0595 I look forward to hearing from you.
