The Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club glimmered on the 12th of June, all set to lend a "Just married" tag to one of the sweetest couples I've ever had the opportunity to work with. Under the sunny skies, surrounded by nature in all its glory, Lauren and Daniel experienced one of the most stellar days of their lives - their wedding.
Something that I absolutely love as a photographer is natural lighting and summer foliage. The Coto de Caza Golf Club checked both the boxes and offered a scenic disposition that made for stunning backdrops. I went all over the venue just to get shots of the bride and the groom against the gorgeous vista.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how beautifully the design elements tied in with the ceremony site! Jessica Lynn Weddings did a marvelous job aligning the design with the theme of the wedding, which had a fantastic orange floral aesthetic. To add to the overall grandeur, Francisca Florals left no stone unturned creating a custom arch to act as a little love nest for Lauren and Daniel to exchange vows against.
Now, coming to the classy ensembles of the bride and groom. Lauren walked down the aisle with a sweetheart neckline gown and sleeves draping off-shoulder. The lace and fitted bodice really made her look picture-perfect. Daniel wore a handsome black tuxedo from Michael Kors. Their outfits perfectly complemented each other in quite the classic style. Meanwhile, David's Bridal adorned the bridesmaids in rust orange evening gowns, which looked equally stunning against the onyx suits of the groomsmen.
After the ceremony and cocktail hour concluded, the reception was kicked off by Lauren and Daniel making their grand entrance, quickly followed by their first dance and cutting a delicious three-tier, floral cake. In a very cute moment, Lauren and Daniel snuck away to dance to their favorite song and share a romantic moment between just the two of them. Love was in the air, and very rightly so! A little later, On The Go DJ Pro churned tunes for the guests to have a fun night.
Another very lovely moment from the night was when Daniel, Lauren, and her daughter danced together as a family. Daniel holds so much love for Lauren’s daughter, making sure to embrace her from the beginning. He went out of his way to make her feel special during their celebration. What a wonderfully sweet moment to be a part of, truly!
The night ended with loads and loads of dancing. I even got to witness the traditional Italian dance, Tarantella, for the first time! I loved all of the energy and joy.
Lauren and Daniel were truly a delight to work with! I am so glad that my pictures brought out the passionate love they have for each other.
