Kristina + Daniel / Engagement / San Clemente, CA

December 2, 2009

After spending 5 amazing days in beautiful San Clemente I have so much to share that I almost can’t stand it. The first is the incredible pre-ceremony portrait session of Kristina + Daniel. Typically when I fly in for a destination wedding I like to take an afternoon prior to the wedding day to spend some time with the couple for a quick session. An engagement session of sorts. Here are are more than a few of my favorite images from Kristina + Daniels “Day Before” session. Stay tuned for a sneak of the wedding! P.S. Daniel, I love you for your moustache…

[...]  There were so many things that made this wedding so special.  Kristina + Daniel invited 13 of their closest friends and relatives to join them in San Juan Capistrano for an intimate, vintage inspired ceremony overlooking the ocean at sunset. All 13 guest arrived in vintage fashion themselves. It really couldn’t have been more perfect.  I feel so blessed to have been part of such an amazing moment between two people whom I have grown to love, respect, and admire. Not to mention I must admit I had a slight boy crush on Daniel’s killer moustache home grown just for the occasion! To gasp over their unforgettable kite inspired engagement session click here.
