Jessica and Steve
had an absolute beautiful wedding on New Years Eve 2008. Jessica was a stunning bride in her Paloma Blanca Gown.
Her groom, Stephen Riegel was equally handsome and let me know ," I'm not going to lie. This looks good." Hey, at least he recognizes it!
This affair was a fairytale and all of the characters were so loving and involved. Everyone gave of themselves so willingly and I think that is a great testament to how great this couple is.
Jessica and Steve decided to do a First look before the wedding and I was so pleased, because it allowed us to take most of the pictures before the ceremony.
They adored each other and it really set the tone for the rest of their special day. The flowers were amazing and special thank you's go to Heidi Chandler, Melissa May, Tamara Koch, Melanie Godett, and many friends. We went to Yorba Linda park for some portraits and then it was off to the Santa Ana Train Station:
They were married at Calvary Church of Santa Ana and had a great coordinator, Sheri Goodrich.
And came out of the church to a welcoming of well wishers and sparklers! Then they took off for the reception in a fabulous car that was graciously donated and chaufered by Steve Godett:
Then it was off to a fabulous reception. The tents with the gorgeous chandlers, beautiful flowers and linens by Pacific Hills Banquet and Catering in Laguna Hills and Signature Party in Santa Ana were breathtaking! The catering was done by a friend of the family, Jesus Victor and was scrumptious! Also an adorable cake was created for the occasion by Grace from Sweet Gems in Huntington Beach
The festivities were in full swing. Peter, the wedding entertainment director, set the night with fabulous introductions and fun dance music through out the entire evening. It was fabulous and I could not think of a better way to ring in the new year then to watch the union of a young, new couple and remember the ones we love as we vow to strengthen those relationships in 2009. A special thank you to my husband, John, for shooting with me and helping to make sure everything was captured!
Congratulations Jessica and Steve! The new Mr. and Mrs. Reigel.
