Air Force Wedding – Turnip Rose Celebrations

Air Force Wedding – Orange County, CA

We were so excited to photograph our first Air Force wedding- and the bride is actually a fighter pilot!

We met Danny and Christina at their engagement session in Laguna Beach. They are both in the Air Force and stationed in Nebraska.  We loved everything about them from the beginning and couldn’t wait to be there on their big day.

Christina got ready at the Aryes Hotel and then we headed over to Turnip Rose to do photos.  Because they had daylight after their wedding at the church, they opted to not see each other beforehand.  The first glance is usually our favorite time with the two of them – but because we got time with them after the ceremony – it worked out. We photographed Danny and his groomsmen and family first.  They had a fun twist on their shirts – inside military stuff and photographing them was a blast.  Such fun guys!

Next we headed to the church and Christina showed up with her girls and family.  We got some great photos of them and then we all headed off to the church.  The ceremony was beautiful with a lot of great expressions and moments.  Afterwards, we headed back to Turnip Rose for a few photos of the families together- and then time for just Danny & Christina.

After some great photos with the two of them – we headed into the PARTY!  Danny and Christina both have wonderful families and friends and it was such a great evening.  We are so happy for them and wish them the best in this next chapter in their lives.  As always – Brian and I are huge supporters of the military and appreciate everything that people like Christina and Danny do for us.  We are indebted to them and their friends in the forces.
