What can I say about this sweet and lovely couple Kelly and Ryan Whelan!? Natalie Good, with A Good Affair Wedding and Event Production, introduced me to this nice couple and knew we would be a great match! After an engagement shoot and boudoir session, I knew this couple well by the wedding date which is always a plus for everyone. This bride, Kelly, was the anti-thesis of Bridezilla, always smiling and trusting of her vendors. They actually thanked all of their vendors during their own toasts, which is very unusual! This wedding was fun to be a part of. The families where so close and it made everything that much more meaningful. I actually got teary eyed during the toasts, as there is so much love and admiration for each other.  I especially loved how much their family was a part and incorporated in everything as well. From the hanging wedding dresses of the Mothers and Grandmothers, to the wedding pictures of each displayed at reception, they had so many unique details that made their wedding more personalized personalized. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Southern California, especially one that overlooks the ocean, put Casa Romantica on your list as a must see, and then call Natalie Good for your design and planning. (Vendor List at bottom of blog)  You cannot go wrong with this venue, and coupled with Natalie, it is sure to be a wedding of your dreams!

Sorry these images are small, having blog problems! 🙁

Daddy’s first moment of seeing his only daughter in her wedding dress.

There was not a dry eye in the room. Such a special moment!

St. Timothy Catholic Church, Laguna Niguel, Ca.

Casa Romantica boasts an amazing room, perfect in showcasing the cake!

Natalie along with bride, also decided to showcase the wedding dresses of the bride and grooms Mothers and Grandmothers.

It was such a special and unique and sentimental touch!

The Cocktail Hour overlooked the Ocean and San Clemente Pier and was conveniently timed at sunset!

 The Bride and Groom chose to have a gourmet Popcorn Bar, first time I had seen that, so fun!

Casa Romantica has an outdoor courtyard which is perfect for a quaint and lovely reception!
