From volleyball courts to wedding vows 🤍 Chris and Eden’s love story came full circle at The Inn at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano.
I’ve known Chris’s family for nearly 30 years, so photographing the youngest son’s wedding felt extra special. It was such an honor to watch this next chapter unfold.
These two knew they were meant to be when they realized they shared the same love languages: physical touch and words of affirmation. And it showed in every part of their day. They were affectionate, playful, and completely at ease together.
A Heartfelt Wedding Ceremony
Chris and Eden wrote their own vows, and they had everyone reaching for tissues. Their words were personal, thoughtful, and full of love.
Then came the celebration.
The dance floor was packed, the energy was high, and the joy was contagious. 🔥✨ After all the happy tears, it was so fun watching these two let loose with their favorite people.
The Inn at the Mission
The Inn at the Mission is such a beautiful San Juan Capistrano wedding venue. The Spanish-inspired architecture, courtyards, warm textures, and California light create an incredible backdrop for portraits.
For Chris and Eden, we kept their portraits relaxed and natural. I gave them direction when needed, then stepped back and let them simply enjoy being together.
Those in-between moments are some of my favorites.
From Volleyball Courts to Wedding Vows
Some weddings feel extra personal, and this was definitely one of them.
After nearly 30 years of knowing Chris’s family, being there to photograph this milestone meant so much to me. Seeing these two officially become husband and wife was such a beautiful full-circle moment.
Congratulations, Chris + Eden! 🥂💛
Thank you for letting me be part of such a heartfelt San Juan Capistrano wedding. I hope these photographs always bring you back to the laughter, happy tears, big hugs, and one seriously fun dance floor.
