3 reasons to check out Travis & Stephanie’s wedding

miguelpolaphotographers0001
Beautiful, Crazy, Fun!
Several months ago, Travis popped the question to Stephanie with one of the most extravagant proposals ever. We photographed their engagement session in numerous locations around fullerton Ca. If you haven’t done so check out their engagement session here.
Months later Travis and Stephanie finished what they started on the beaches of Hawaii here in the heart of Fullerton. In a quaint location known as Villa Del Sol.
Travis rubbed his hands together nervously as he witnessed his bride walk beside the historical fountain in the center of the courtyard. She clutched onto her brother’s arms as they marched excitedly down the aisle. The anxiety, obvious in their faces, went away the moment Stephanie’s Brother handed her off to Travis.
As the sun went down and the daylight faded, the lights strung across the courtyard, above the dance floor flickered on and brought on the beauty of Villa Del Sol. Travis and Stephanie, joined by their family and closest friends, danced the night away. With hardly a dull moment throughout the night, this wedding was as fun as it was gorgeous.
 Stephanie and Travis, we’d like to thank you for trusting in us to capture your gorgeous wedding. I can’t wait wait for you to see your wedding album, it’s gonna knock your socks off!

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.

Sleepless In Seattle

Seattle Engagement Photos | Miguel Pola Photographers

Well lets just say these two were sleepless in Seattle! At least the night they met.  :)  See Scott is a huge Galaxy fan. (Soccer) He’s a season ticket holder.  He decided to look at their away schedule and realized that Seattle would be a great place to travel for a quick weekend trip.  So he and a friend went for it.

Michelle with a large group of friends decided to shoot up to Seattle for a fun filled weekend of friends, fun and soccer.  After the game, Michelle and her friends decided to go to the local stadium tavern next to Seattle stadium.  Being that they were all from LA, they were the only Galaxy fans in the building.  So Scott and his friend, while at the bar not knowing anyone else there, found a great way to cruise on over to the table where Michelle and all of her Galaxy friends were.

Michelle playing a little hard to get, finally started to chat Scott up and they talked all evening long. The rest is history. When Scott and Michelle hired our studio they thought it would be a great idea to go back to Seattle. The city in which they met, to photograph their Engagement Session.

Never having been there myself I decided to get there as early as possible  to scout the area for their shoot. Luckily people in Seattle are really nice and helpful!  :) Here are some of the images from our fun Seattle Washington engagement shoot. I hope that you enjoy them as much as the time i had Photographing them.

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.
