Set to stage by the team of Mele Amore Events, Jill and Reggie’s day went by just as smoothly, and as awesome, as we expected. Kudos to the reception’s beautiful design and arrangements.

A happy day for a FUN couple. We had a blast celebrating with this awesome two, with their entourage, plus their amazing team of vendors. We decided to give ‘em all credit in the bottom for doing such an fine job. Congratulations team Jill + Reggie!!! One for the books!

Someone asked me once, how come we get such beautiful brides? Tough question. I’ve also been asked if we screen them first? Of course NOT! Truth is, we’re just lucky! Very lucky! All our brides are beautiful and Michelle is another proof to that, and please don’t forget our grooms. We’ve got some fine looking grooms too, Ryan here for example. These two make a good-looking couple which makes our work so much easier.

The wedding party was a riot! These guys know how to liven up a party, and they were all just as beautiful too! They had FUN! and we had fun capturing it all along with their rockin’ photographer Justin Element and his team. This was a wonderful finish to our busy back-to-back wedding weekend..

Cheers!

04.27.12 Donna + Chris

Ceremony: St. Norbert Catholic Church
Reception: Double Tree Hotel
Photographer: Joe & Kathrina Photography
Song: “Perfect Kiss” by Marie Hines. Licensed through The Music Bed

It was close to one o’clock in the morning of the wedding day when I got an e-mail from Chris, our groom, saying he was still awake and had a last minute request. He had a surprise gift for Donna and he wants to make sure we capture her reaction when she gets it. I thought, that’s easy, I just have one problem… See, I forgot to turn off the notifications on my iPhone that night so his e-mail actually woke me up in the middle of the night and I could not go back to sleep…nice. So, as things were going through my head, that’s when the idea of using his e-mail as a plot for our same day edit came to mind. So, forgetting the thought of getting more z’s, I decided to just play with my camera and iPhone 3GS (yes, I still have a primitive 3GS). Took shots of his e-mail on my phone hoping maybe I can use ‘em when editing time comes, just hoping.. =)

But anyway, it was a lovely wedding in Orange County. The weather was perfect. The wedding gown’s train was staggering. I swear, I thought the end of Donna’s train was still outside when she reached the altar. It was the longest one from all the weddings we have covered by far, and it was beautiful, just like our couple. Their priest, Fr. Orlando Valino, is a good friend of the bride. He came in from the Philippines just to do the ceremony and flew back to the islands the next day. Together with local Fr. Michael Veneracion, they held a very intimate ceremony at St. Norbert’s Catholic Church in Orange.

Congratulations Chris and Donna. Here’s your same day edit..
