Derek and Maryjane: Wedding in San Juan Capistrano

I love being a photographer! Seriously. It brings me so much joy that I honestly have to continually pinch myself to see if I am living in reality. One of the things I love most about photography is the people that it brings into your life and in the ways it does it.. especially from the past.. I mean look at me and Kristin.. Photography was the medium in which God brought Kristin back into my life that allowed us to form a relationship which will last a lifetime. It is so cool! Maryjane a former Aztec and school acquaintance was one of those special cases where we were reunited through her pursuit of a wedding photographer several years down the road.. When she contacted me (along with a couple of my past clients) she said “this isn’t the same Brandon Kidd from High School is is..?” A relationship that would have ended with the graduation of High School now back into existence because we had the opportunity to document their very special day. In fact will now be (what we hope to be at least) a very special part of their lives because we were a special part of their big day. Its such a blessing to be able to serve all our clients and especially our friends in such a fun and unique capacity.

After the engagement shoot I knew that I was going to be stoked for the wedding, and I was right! The day was beautiful and the guests were so fun!  Derek and Maryjane have two of the most fun loving, charismatic personalities I know! They totally love life and wear their hearts on their sleeve..They are honestly so perfect for each other… plus they love country music and wanted it incorporated in their wedding.. I knew it was going to be a great day! Here are some of the photos from the day.. Enjoy!

Maryjane’s little sis working on some last minute toasts..

The handsome groom.. these guys were so much fun.. like herding cats all day. but a lot of fun none the less!!

Both had the same exact expression waiting in anticipation for the first look.. hahaha like 2 peas in a pod!!

Beautiful ceremony location at Marbella Country Club.

I love these shots.. brides maids stealthily scouting out the scene before the ceremony began… :)

I love this moment.. even after the first look.. its just such a sweet moment during the ceremony..

an awesome ceremony then off to the woods for some photos!!

I love their interaction with eachother.. its so fun and genuine

Killer light!

    My favorite shot is the one of the cake, but that’s just because I’m hungry right now…for cake.
