Alicia & Andrew :: Woman's Club of Orange Wedding

So happy to be able to finally share this one with you. Alicia & Andrew's wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty California! Style Me Pretty is one of my favorite wedding blogs of all time and I am so honored to be featured. Click on the SMP badge to see the feature, more photos and read Alicia's detailed account of the day. Thank you SMP!

My favorite kind of weddings are intimate, casual, DIY and truly reflect the loving couple. Alicia & Andrew wedding was exactly that. They invited their closest friends and family where a majority of them pitched in their time and talent to make the day gorgeous. The couple live in and love the City of Orange, CA. So, naturally they chose locations within their beloved city to celebrate. If I had to sum up this wedding in one word it would be PERFECT.

Thank you again to Alicia and Andrew for trusting me to document their wedding! xo Rachel

Getting ready for the bride took place in their home and the groom had a toast with his groomspeople at a local favorite, the Haven Gastropub.

The First Look

The drop dead gorgeous bride with her lovely bridal party. The florals by Collected With Love were stunning.

The handsome groom with his best guys and gal. Loved their casual no jacket, striped tie look.

Such a genuinely fun wedding party!

And, THE cutest little ring bearer

The quaint Woman's Club of Orange, located in the heart of the city, was the lovely location for their outdoor ceremony and reception.

Details were decked with vintage rentals and oranges to add color and give nod to the city.

The delicious food was served buffet style by the friendly Soho Taco.

Prettiest little sweetheart table I ever did see.

Pinwheel backdrop made by the bride!

The ombre chevron table runners were the perfect addition to make the vintage gold dinnerware pop

All desserts were made by family and friends. Cake was made by the bride's sister.

Vintage wedding rings procured from a local antique store in Orange

Kelsey & Doug :: Twin Oaks Garden Estate Wedding

Kelsey and Doug are young and in love. These two have been together forever and I suspect forever won't be long enough. Is it ever?

She looked gorgeous in her sparkly, princess gown and he was a regular knight in shining armor in his Marine dress uniform. Doug, often times, was stationed away from Kelsey during their wedding planning. So, it was extra special for everyone to be together in the fairytale like Twin Oaks to finally witness the joining of Kelsey and Doug.

For an extra personal touch their youth pastor officiated the ceremony and they read aloud vows that they wrote themselves. After the beautiful outdoor garden ceremony Kelsey and Doug celebrated their union by dancing the summer night away with loved ones.

It was such an honor to capture your wedding. Congratulations Kelsey and Doug!

Special thanks to the Mother of the Bride. You rock, Wendy!

The grounds at Twin Oaks are so romantic.

Kelsey's sparkly Louboutins were a perfect match for her dress

How sweet are her flower girls?

Doug fine tunes his vows before the ceremony.

Love this photo of Doug upon seeing his bride for the first time. Captured by my second shooter, David.

Gorgeous!

After toasts and dinner we took advantage of the gorgeous golden hour light.

Aw. No kisses for Doug. Apparently, she can only be bribed with Pixy sticks.

Back to the party.

And they lived happily ever after...

 And since you made it this far, I've got a bonus treat for you.
