Melissa & Peter :: 11-11-17 :: Wedding in Irvine

Melissa and Peter are such sweeties! We started out their warm sunny wedding day at the Embassy Suites in Santa Ana, where Melissa got ready with her bridesmaids. After a few fun shots in their robes and everyone was dressed ready to go, Melissa's bestie helped her get into her gorgeous dress, veil and garter. Next, we headed to their venue, the Eureka Building in Irvine where the bridal party took some photos, being careful to keep bride and groom separate from one another. We also did a first look with Melissa and her dad and a "not" first look with Melissa and Peter, both were so fun and sweet! After those portraits were done, it was ceremony time filled with a sweet and emotional first look, personal vows and three cord braiding ceremony. Once these two were officially Mr. and Mrs. we spent some time doing family photos, bridal party photos and portraits of the newlyweds in the setting sun. Next it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of fun details like a customized drinking glasses, flowers and pumpkins reflecting the season, and of course, the epic cupcake table! Upon joyfully entering their reception, Melissa and Peter sat and enjoyed a delicious dinner! Then they spent some time greeting, and thanking each of their guests and listening to toasts. After dinner, they had their first dance and Melissa danced with her dad and Peter with his mom, both were so incredibly sweet. After the bouquet, garter toss and cake cutting there was some epic dancing from their amazing guests. Finally we took them outside for a few fun end of the night shots under the stars. It was such a tremendous pleasure to be a part of this amazing day!
