Rica Delgado and Leo Mendoza

Ceremony : St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church. Irvine, California
Reception : Irvine Marriott
Photographer : Serena Grace
Songs : "Better Together" by Jack Johnson / "In Your Hands" by Javier

We did a Same Day Fusion for Rica and Leo and we posted the latter part of their picture slide show and same day edit. The couple wrote a letter to each other that they read at the ceremony before the vows, which we thought was very touching and exceptional. A great idea for couples tying the knot in the future. It made the ceremony a very personal one. Reception at the Marriott was also commendable, service was top notch. The family and friends of the bride and groom we're all great, lively and real party people. DJ Kelly of Sounds Like Fun Entertainment rocked the house. And of course, our gorgeous couple, Rica and Leo was just dazzling! Here's their Same Day Edit..

A perfect venue, delightful setting, gorgeous day...oh and of course, a beautiful couple, Nazli and Sia, who were just stunning! and great dancers too.
