Welcome! We’re so excited to share the enchanting wedding memories of Lillian and Edward at the stunning Gray Matter Museum of Art in San Clemente, followed by a lively reception at Paracel Seafood in Westminster.

The day was like a dream come true, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. From the early morning preparations to the late-night dancing, every detail was carefully planned and beautifully executed. It was the perfect weather too with the sun shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the entire event. Friends and family gathered from near and far to celebrate the union of these two souls deeply in love.

It was a day we will never forget and we are so happy with how these wedding moments were captured!

See all the magic below!
