Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens Wedding

Some weddings completely win you over.

Not that you expect them to be less than extraordinary. It’s just that sometimes you wind up being so blown away by the love and chemistry between a couple and everyone there cheering them on. Shauna and Orlando’s wedding was a perfect example.

When Shauna and I discussed their wedding, I could tell she would be a joy to be around. Rarely do you find someone so calm, collected and centered. Not to mention all the way right up until her wedding day.

When I met Orlando, I felt my blood pressure and heart rate go down. This guy is so absolutely laid-back I felt like maybe I should have popped a few chill pills before shaking his hand. Then I realized all I needed to do was stand next to him. Instant. Chill.

Let’s see… beautiful, natural setting in 86 acres of native California flora. Check.

Open-hearted, loving, ready-to-get-down family and friends. Check.

Mouth-watering, wonderfully presented food by Gourmet Gourmet with bumpin’ beats by Entertainment Express. Check.

Vibrant, artistically arranged flowers by the in-house florists at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens. Check.

Congratulations Shauna and Orlando!
