First of all, I have to say that Alona’s dress was gorgeous….I just loved the large ruffles at the top and how it went all the way around…simple, but very stylish.  Perfect for a wedding at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano where Jeff’s family had the connections. Not easy getting in there. Following the ceremony, Jeff and Alona left in Jeff’s family antique get away car…a tradition that will be followed for generations to come…they arrived back where they got ready, at the St. Regis Monarch Beach.  Their colors of sage and buttter yellow with a pop of coral were seen in the florals by using jade roses, celery cymbidium orchids,light green hydrangeas and butter phaleos. And tiny pop of green was added to the napkin alongside a delicious treat.  If you have not tried Vosges Chocolates, you must buy your loved ones a box, better yet, treat yourself to one.

Chenin of Boutwell Studio’s photos are always vibrant and full of life as you can see on her site and blog. BUT I specifically selected these to show her wide range of talent: as these photos were breathtaking and so timeless, just as hard to do as her vibrant colored shots.  Chenin, you are a talented woman.
