San Juan Capistrano, California.

I always love photographing the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Center's events, but this one was especially satisfying because it was held at the beautiful Mission San Juan Capistrano. This fundraiser is for a great cause and Suzanne Rico of CBS2 News was there to help.

There was a raffle to win these gold coins.

It was a perfectly beautiful sunny day in Huntington Beach for Som and Alan's wedding. Som has such a bubbly personality that it was so much fun just following her around the whole day. Many laughs and touching moments later, here are the results:

The beautiful Som.

Alan surprised Som with an Apple box... that had a Tag Heuer watch in it.

Som was happy to see friends before the ceremony.

Som designed all the favors and decor for the wedding.

I love when my clients put the engagement photos to good use. The photos looked great printed and framed.

Heather and John had a cozy wedding reception at her parents' home in Laguna Beach. It was an intimate affair with just close friends and family. I personally know their family and they are simply as wonderful and hospitable as they come. Here are some of my favorites:

The best part of the night definitely had to be when the father of the bride, Lou, didn't even last five seconds into his speech before he broke into tears.
