St Regis MB and St Edwards Dana Point Wedding | Emily + Chris

September 13, 2013 by D. Park Photography Leave a Comment

the love story

Emily and Chris met at one of our all-time favorite Italian restaurants, Francoli’s (love!).

Two years later, on Emily’s birthday, Chris proposed they celebrate with champagne at a park looking over Aliso Viejo. As Emily went to pour the drinks, Chris got down on one knee and asked her to marry him!

From there, the two drove off to a restaurant where their friends and family were waiting to celebrate with them. Emily called her mother to tell her the good news, and she expressed her surprise – apparently, she had already given Chris her permission and had expected him to have popped the question by then!  Classic gentleman – a rare man to ask the parents’ permission!  We knew we’d love capturing these two as soon as we heard their story.

What an amazing day!

Love all the little wedding details – like these elegant Jimmy Choo shoes.

And look at those beautiful bouquets, designed by the wonderful and lovely French Buckets!

The bride’s was accented with a beautiful golden heart charm that added that touch of personality to the bouquet.
