Peter & Yolanda’s El Adobe Spanish Love affair

Some of you may remember a recent post from Peter and Yolanda’s beautiful engagement session.  Well their wedding did not disappoint either, they had their ceremony at the lovely St John of God Church in Norwalk.

With a church full of family watching eagerly, Peter and Yolanda shared their first kiss. With what used to be two families, now a single entity, cheering behind them, they entered a vintage 1930′s Packard that whisked them away to Mission San Juan Capistrano for their first photos as husband and wife.

Mission San Juan Capistrano’s beaten stone walls, aged doors, and long history became the perfect setting for a romantic session between the newlyweds.

Their reception took place at another historical gem, The Adobe Restaurant. My favorite event of the night was when Peter took the live band’s guitar and played a song he wrote while he was away in the Navy. Thinking of her, Peter wrote the song to keep him sane during the lonely nights away from home.

I hope you enjoyed looking at Peter and Yolanda’s photos, I had a blast being part of their first day as husband and wife.

Newly Married? Check Out These Tips from an OC Interior Designer.

The Power of the social Media Facebook, Twitter, and form of social media is crazy.  Last week over twitter I posted a simple question. ” Does anyone Know of a good interior designer in OC?”  I received several responses from friends and colleagues which I expected.  But one that I didn’t expect was a response from and actual Interior Designer.  Her response was simple and to the point.  ”@miguelpola I am a local professional interior designer in OC. How can I help?”  We corresponded  via twitter a few times then spoke over the phone a couple of times.  See, my Studio is in need of a little face lift and I initially figured “what the heck I can make a couple of changes here and there and spruce it up a bit.” But then I started to think, “Why don’t I hire a professional to do this?”  Someone who does this this for a living, someone who is passionate about what they do.   In talking to Audra Miller of Audra Miller Interiors, a couple things.  1st she an awesome person. And shes a great listener.  She hears what you want and need.  Super important when your trying to achieve something that will be great for you the client.  If your newly married and you need some great inspiration for your new love nest be sure to hit Audra up.  Let her know that I sent you.  She’ll take great care of you.  :)

Josh and Lisa’s long awaited engagement

Josh and Lisa met in college, with a long relationship, this engagement was overdue. Thanks to Lisa for having the patience for waiting for her Prince Charming.

Josh and Lisa came to me from a previous wedding that I photographed. I shot Sommer and Scott’s wedding in Fall of ’07. Josh was ordained just for Sommer and Scott’s wedding.

We met in the afternoon at the Santa Monica Pier just before a special time photographers like to call “Magic Hour,” but something was happening that was even more special than the way the sun was setting. I was able to see the love between Josh and Lisa. Sharing this evening with them made shooting their wedding even more special, I got to know them for who they are. People don’t realize how engagement shoots are, it’s a time set for the me and the couple to bond. It’s where I learn little secrets about the bride and the groom, we get to talking about the wedding day’s details, and it’s a time for brides and grooms to get to know me as a person.

Josh and Lisa had their wedding at the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, California. Be sure to check back to view their amazing wedding.
