I recently had the privilege of photographing Nina & Omar’s super sweet Westminster wedding! I’m so excited to share a few highlights of their beautiful, all-white floral wedding ceremony in Orange County, CA.
Since there are have been so many variables this past year because of COVID-19, I’ve had quite a few couples hire me to cover just a short portion of their wedding day, as opposed to a typical full day. While I absolutely love it when I get to photograph the entire wedding day, it’s also been a really fun and rewarding experience to photograph some of these shorter days where I’m just focused on documenting the ceremony and some portraits. There’s more of an intimate feel in these small weddings that is sometimes overlooked or lost on the larger, more traditional wedding celebrations.
If I had to describe Nina & Omar’s wedding style I’d call it “Whimsical meets Glam,” because it was both elegant and glamorous (especially Nina’s hair and makeup!), but Nina’s beautiful ballgown and the all white florals that decorated the ceremony reminded me of a magical, floral wonderland. It was beautiful!
As is typical with most weddings, Nina’s dad walked her down the aisle and “gave her away” to Omar. For the rest of the ceremony, Omar could hardly stop sneaking little peeks of his stunning bride and whispering little things to make her laugh.
After the ceremony ended we headed out to the courtyard to take photos with the couple’s family and then create some beautiful portraits of the bride and groom together. When I first spoke to Nina she told me she really wanted a whimsical photo of her and Omar sharing a kiss with her veil blowing in the wind. The courtyard made for the perfect spot to create this photo for the couple!
Nina looked absolutely stunning in her V-neck ballgown and her cathedral veil! Finished off her glamorous bridal look with a sparkly bridal tiara and an all white bridal bouquet with eucalyptus accent greenery. So pretty!
