Kristina + Mario- Summertime Wedding at The Vintage Rose- Orange, CA

What a year 2024 has been! With all of my galleries edited and sent out, I’ve been looking back at the lovely clients I’ve worked with this year and had to share some moments from this day. While preparing this post, I realized yesterday marked their six-month anniversary! So here are some highlights from Kristina and Mario’s day:

Venue/Catering: The Vintage Rose- @thevintagerosevenue

Coordinator: Jaime Gentz @ The Vintage Rose

DJ: DJ Larry

Kristina + Mario started their day off with their beautiful church ceremony nearby surrounded by their closest family and friends. Afterward, we started shooting some family and bridal party portraits before returning to The Vintage Rose to celebrate! 

While guests made their way to the venue for cocktail hour, we were able to enjoy the pub space in The Vintage Rose to allow the wedding party to relax and unwind a bit. We then were able to head over to “La Petite Rose”, the venue’s smaller space that can be used for ceremonies or smaller events as well, to take more formal portraits.  I then took a peek over at the reception space to admire all the fun details. I especially loved the custom neon sign and their pup taking a bite out of the cake :) 

With all formal portraits done, it was time to PARTY! 

There was so much love and positive energy filling the room, so the night flew by! After cutting the cake, I stole the couple one last time for some night portraits. While there isn’t always time, I love to try to capture the nighttime energy of the venue and the relaxed post-obligation couples! Bonus at the end are some 35mm film shots.
