Miriam and Angel met in high school and dated NINE years before tying the knot in Los Angeles in July of 2017! During their engagement, I loved getting to know them and help them prepare for their big day. Miriam is one of the sweetest women I know and Angel is the guy that is quiet when you first meet him, but once he breaks out of his shell, he is all smiles and loves to talk! 🙂
When I walked into Miriam’s home the morning of their wedding day and saw her how anxious she wanted to get her wedding day started, I was right there with her! I was SO ready to capture her, Angel, and their family on their big day! These two are so family oriented and David and I loved that about them and how they played out their wedding day. I remember asking them during their engagement session what they were most excited about and they mentioned not to only get married in the catholic church, but to have their family with them during so. My heart melted! hehe!
As I was capturing Miriam’s details, her bridesmaids started showing up and you can feel the room getting full of spirit. The ladies were sharing so much laughter, I couldn’t help but smile as I was capturing her details.
And of course, David was with Angel capturing his details and the moments of getting ready.
I love these two photographs of their details!
During this shot, Miriam’s bridesmaids told me that they have not yet seen her in her wedding gown! AH! So I had an idea that I will explain as you scroll down. 🙂
Love this shot that David captured of Angel!
Since the girls mentioned that they haven’t seen the bride in her wedding dress, I had Miriam walk out into the living room where the girls were hanging out. This allowed me to capture their reaction to her dolled up! 😀
This then led to an emotional father and daughter first look outside their home!
After this, we loaded up the limo and headed to St. Matthias Catholic Church for their religious wedding ceremony.
Isn’t their church beautiful!?
Once their ceremony ended, we head to Pasadena City Hall for their family formals, bridal party photographs, and bride and groom portraits. 🙂
I loved how different their wedding party was. Angel had his two best men & then Miriam was surrounded by her sisters and best girlfriends.
They even had the cutest flower girls + ring bearer!
I love the variety that Pasadena City Hall in Pasadena, CA offers! So happy they chose to do their portraits here. 🙂
Once we finished up with their portraits, we headed to their reception venue.
When we first pulled up to Sepan Banquet Hall in Los Angeles, CA, we had no idea how fast we would fall in love with Angel + Miriam’s wedding reception! So gorgeous!
They had such a fun group of men playing in a mariachi band!
These two had everyone smiling, laughing, and clapping at their choreographed first dance!
Also, they had about a 4 course meal for not only their guests, but their vendors! So much great tasting food! David and I loved it all! hehe!
I hope you all enjoyed a little glimpse into their beautiful wedding day. 🙂
To the newlyweds: Thank you SO SO much. David and I are so honored to have met you both, got to know you as individuals and as a couple within the last 8 months, and be there for you guys are you become husband and wife! We wish you all the best during your marriage and love you both! Thank you again!
XOXO,
