Renee and Joe – Southern California Wedding Photography

Renee and Joe were married in the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano in Southern California, this November.  Renee’s brother, Doug is one of my best buddies, so this was the perfect occasion to end ‘paternity leave’ a month after Easton was born!

We started with the getting ready photos at Renee’s parents house before heading over to the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano.

Usually, I am positioned in the very front of the ceremony to capture guests entering before the ceremony starts and my 2nd photographer captures this moment..but I LOVE the moment just before the bride and groom walks down the aisle.  The bride and her parents are usually anxious, excited and emotional, and the groom is typically getting last minute advice from his groomsmen, like ‘the car’s still running’, or ‘don’t trip!’:
