Nancy + Angel’s Wedding: 3/5/2011 – “Are you free on March 5th?” That’s what one of my best friends and wedding planner Trini asked last me last year. After I said, “Yes”, she simply responded with, “Good, you’re shooting my niece Nancy and her fiance Angel’s wedding.” Oh how I wished every booking was that fun and easy :).

It was truly an honor to photograph Nancy and Angel‘s spectacular day; not only because they’re both dear to Trini and her family, but also they’re simply two genuine, kind-hearted, and inspiring individuals. Nancy and Angel quickly became good friends of mine after their e-session earlier this year. I remembered several memorable moments I had with them on Saturday, that really epitomizes their personality.

When her mom’s dress had a slight tear in it after walking up the stairs at the Seven 4 One Hotel in Laguna Beach, Nancy was the first to help her sew it back together. Her day was as much about family and friends as it was about herself. During the Catholic ceremony, you can see Nancy holding back the big smiles and tears. And only Angel could bring her raw emotions out like no other.

Speaking of Angel, it’s always refreshing to meet such a humbling and easy-going guy. We actually bumped into each other in the restroom at Seven Degrees, where the reception was held. He asked me if I was enjoying the evening, had a chance to eat, and invited me to the after party. Angel is always looking out for everyone…his sisters, parents, relatives, friends, and especially Nancy.

The entire 12-hour day for me flew by so fast. I always feel so blessed to work with Trini. After the dozens of weddings we’ve worked together, this is probably my favorite, as I finally got to meet Trini’s entire family and see her party like there was no tomorrow ;). But most importantly, it gave me a chance to meet her amazing niece Nancy and her now husband Angel.
