Angel and Michael’s intimate Aliso Viejo, California wedding was straight out of a fairytale. They tied the knot at Gold Coast Farms in late October, surrounded by their family and friends in a beautiful Fall wedding ceremony. No words could possibly do this sweet couple justice, but I’ll do my best – and the photos will certainly help 😉 

Angel and Michael showed so much love and intention for one another throughout their entire wedding day. It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the little stressors of a wedding day and forget what matters most. Let me assure you, though, this wasn’t the case with these two. Between the thoughtful, sentimental letters written to one another (and a Tiffany box, hello!!), and a sweet first look between Angel and her dad, I had a hard time keeping my eyes dry. Throughout the entire wedding day, it was very evident just how much Angel and Michael value their friends and families. 

The ceremony gave so much glory to God, with foot-washing and communion between the bride and groom. Once the ceremony wrapped up, there was no hesitation to get the party started! The remainder of the wedding day was filled with dancing, laughter, and pure joy as everyone surrounded the newlyweds. I don’t think Angel and Michael could’ve asked for a more quaint, intimate wedding day… it was truly perfect.
