Round two of Cooper + Michelle, this time it was their awesome wedding day. They got married in a little spot over looking Laguna Beach, it was great!! It was a little more than toasty out, but it was beautiful! I have never seen a groom more excited to marry someone! Anyone that meets them knows these two are perfect for each other. Cooper was SO excited to see Michelle during their first look, and it really shows. Michelle had her dress made, which I always love. They had their reception at her parent’s ranch in Orange County after the whole bridal party drove over in different types of vintage cars. The reception was great, they said later that the party went on until 3am! Instead of the “Money Dance” these two has “Honeymoon Horse Shoes” where you could give them a few bucks and throw some horse shoes with them. We loved it. Nothing beats homey, laid back weddings!

    Their life and love is definitely fate and the beautiful images let us in our the magic. Cooper and Michelle’s soulmate bond eminates.. These photos are so them,
    happy, funny and oozing with friends and family all celebrating this great marriage.
    You two did an excellent shoot (2) and have not left a stone unturned.
    As a shooter, and Cooper’s mom, I was soo happy not to lift a camera and just dance
    and enjoy this huge new family..and we are still missing, relatives and all of ours from Colorado. Three came, Travis the best friend & minister, two family members from the Rocky Mountains where Cooper was born. From the ocean to the ranch, kudos to Cooper and Michelle for planning this their way and all of her family for turning over the ranch into the party of the year. The ocean and seals and beautiful couple
    were perfectly captured. Weddings are not easy to shoot unlees you guys are as good as you are and the couple is as happy. Your other shoots are fantastic.
    Thanks, Cooper’s mom Michelle’s MIL, with all my love.
