the chan wedding
november 26th, 2006 . rancho
capistrano
we're finally catching up...i can barely believe it...a blog post...within a week of the wedding!!! congratulations to us :)
anyway...michael and nellie are cool...too cool for us in fact :) their wedding took place at the gorgeous rancho capistrano in san juan capistrano. first off, rancho capistrano is an amazing location....it's so weird to be on so much beautiful free space right in the middle of overdeveloped orange county! jaclyn actually knew michael from high school, and believe it or not, we went to jaclyn's senior prom with michael and his current girlfriend! after high school we didn't keep too much contact with michael until one day earlier this year we received an email the michael had found "the one" (aka . nellie!) and wanted us to shoot their wedding. well we've got to say, this was a day that we drove home feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. not only are michael and nellie two of the sweetest most genuine people you could ever meet, but they gave us total control to shoot whatever and however we wanted which made for some AWESOME images. thanks for everything guys, we feel truly blessed to call you friends.
mmmm....lunch of champions....what better way to start your wedding day!
michael and nellie were kind enough to afford us plenty of time to shoot them before the ceremony...we started off on the hill taking advantage of the "happy thanksgiving" sign...then we moved on down the road to the elementary school on the property :)
michael and his parents before the ceremony...
michael's brother holding on to the ring...that's one way not to lose it!
the ceremony was very moving and full of emotion. the main lawn at rancho capistrano is gorgeous, they were married under the huge oak tree looking out onto the hills.
can you say EXCITED!!! michael and nellie were quite hard to keep up with!
after the ceremony we took another few minutes for some pics...
nellie used to own a floral business and now works as a fabulous wedding coordinator so we knew the details would be spot on...and boy were they ever...the reception area looked gorgeous!
toasting and roasting...
the first dance...
soul train!!!
ok, i should make a whole separate post for this but i am already pushing my luck being this good :) michael and four of his friends surprised all the guests with a spot on dance like ok go's a million ways . i swear, i don't think i've ever seen so many wedding guests crying with laughter and jumping with cheers all at the same time!!! you guys rocked it!!!
we've got to take a minute for a vent...one of the absolute lamest things left over fromo 80's weddings that for some reason planners still try to get couples to do on the wedding day is the wrap armed champagne drink thing...you've all seen. i'm sure the other photographers that read this blog could chime in here :) anyway, this time actually made for quite a funny picture :)
and a double dose of ring shot for all you addicts out there!
