A beautiful wedding design at Rancho Las Lomas

Rancho Las Lomas Wedding Photography | Miguel Pola Photographers

We had the privilege of documenting a beautifully designed wedding at Rancho Las Lomas a fews weeks ago.  The tigers were roaring and the birds were cawing.Weddings here are especially beautiful and picturesque. This restored early California rancho offers a private and intimate atmosphere, set amidst exquisitely manicured botanical and zoological gardens.
Cathy and Ethan wedding was the first to be shot at Rancho las Lomas after their bridal room remodel. Casa Linda, is a quaint cottage graced with sitting and dressing areas, a natural stone fireplace and private patio. The bridal party uses this charming room during weddings as a dressing area. With new furniture and design from Jeni Maus of Found, Rancho las Lomas was looking better than ever!

Lavenders Flowers brought in and arranged the amazing floral details for the wedding. A Good Affair wedding and event planning did an excellent job of coordinating and designing this intimate event. The weather was perfect and allowed the peonies in the bouquet to bloom beautifully. 24 Carats Catering from Irvine outdid themselves for this wedding’s meals. Isabel Gonzalez Videotique was the select videojournalist for that day.

As the guests enjoyed their cocktail hour, we made our way around Rancho Las Lomas. Beautiful lighting and an adorable couple made for the perfect images during their Romantic Session.

As we returned from the Romantic Session, the sun was on its way down for the night. Stephan Shanahan from Honored Occasions gave us just the right blend of romance and ambience for the cooling temperatures.

With the stars above us, Cathy and Ethan’s guests enjoyed beautiful music, the perfect temperature and most off all a newlywed couple who deeply love each other.

Congratulations to Cathy and Ethan for the fantastic wedding and the wonderful start to a beautiful life together.

Josh & Lisa’s Intimate La Venta Inn Wedding

La Venta Inn Wedding Photography | Miguel Pola Photographers

Some of you may remember Josh and lisa from their Engagement shoot at the Santa Monica Pier. Lisa And Josh Came to me from a previous client Sommer Co Owner of So Cal Shutter Booth. I was fortunate enough to photograph Sommer and Scotts wedding a few years back. Thats where Josh Comes in. See, Josh is Sommer’s Brother and was the officiant for her wedding. Fast forward to last fall, When Josh and Lisa had their intimate wedding at La Venta Inn in Beautiful Palos Verdes. Lisa wore a beautiful Amsale wedding gown. While the bridesmaids wore gorgeous Jenny Yoo Dresses. Lsia Wanted to have her and her girls take advantage of the Palos Verdes Estates Coast line. So she decided on the Terranea Resort for the her bridal prep location. The view was stunning with beautiful blue skies to accent the gorgeous Palos Verdes coastal Landscape.

I love how Lisa’s beautiful blue eyes just jump out at you in this image.

Josh & Lisa Decided to have a “first look” prior to the ceremony. Our attempt at having them spend so “alone time” prior to the ceremony was a success. It was a little tricky at this venue due to the size and the logistics to where the actual ceremony was to take place.

Thank you Josh And Lisa for you and your families’ hospitality. Cant wait for you to see your finished album design.

Tigers, Birds, and Zebras Galore at Rancho Las Lomas

Rancho Las Lomas Weddings | Miguel Pola Photographers

When I met Paul & Rory, they mentioned to me that their wedding would be at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado Ca. I was super excited! Even though I have shot there numerous times, I still always find it super fun to shoot there. It’s like Disneyland for a photographer. There are always new fun little spots to photograph weddings there.
Rory wore an amazing dress that complimented her very well. She looked amazing! As for paul he was looking sharp! With their wedding held at the outdoor alter, It made for an amazing ceremony. The details that Rory and Paige of Paige Ashlin Weddings and Events chose, created a beautiful ambiance for their guests to enjoy. Beautiful arrangements were done by Marisa of Empora Flora. Simply amazing job!

Here are some of my favorite images from the event.  I hope you can enjoy them as much I enjoyed taking them.

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.

David & Heather’s Big Fat Italian Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the honor of working with David and Heather. These two make a gorgeous couple. I’ve know Heather for some time now. David came in the picture a fews years back. These two tied the knot at La Purisima Church in Orange Ca.  Their reception was at the beautiful Villa De Sol in Fullerton Ca.  That place is a great place to host any wedding event.  We started out at the Hyatt Regency Orange County where Heather & her Entourage of ladies got ready for the big day.  Heather wore a beautiful Winnie Couture Wedding Gown, The Romonna. Check out some of their amazing wedding photos.
