Chelsea + George – Dana Point Wedding Photographer
What can we say about being Chelsea and George’s Dana Point wedding photographer? First of all: What an amazing day! We were so honored to photograph Chelsea and George’s wedding at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. To begin with, the day started at Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort right on top of the hill overlooking the Dana Point Harbor. After some detail shots inside the hotel room, we headed over to the Golden Lantern Park for the first look and bridal photos! Then after the couple’s photos were done, the family met us for formal photos.

Next stop was the historic Pilgrim schooner! George got permission for all of us to board the ship for some amazing photos! This ship is docked right outside of the Ocean Institute. As soon as the couple headed over to the bridal suite, we went to work photographing all of the gorgeous details at the wedding ceremony and reception. This was our first time working with Sparkling Soirees and we were absolutely impressed with Nicolette and her team of talented wedding designers! The reception area was amazing- especially the long glass table that went through the center of the room! All in all, we had a terrific time as Chelsea and George’s Dana Point wedding photographers!
