This was one of my last few weddings of 2013 and I can tell you that I was looking forward to it the whole year! For one, their wedding would be at the gorgeous Rancho Las Lomas, a zoological garden tucked in the hills of Orange County. It would be planned and coordinated by Nancy and her team at So Happi Together – seriously some of the sweetest & most organized girls you’ll ever meet, who put together impeccably beautiful and creative events.

And of course – it was in celebration of this amazing couple, who stole my heart at our very first video meeting with their clever one-take save the date, who I had the best time running around San Francisco with, and who are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Their wedding day was a pure reflection of them, and I was overjoyed to have been there to document it!

Thao & Dinh were married at the beautiful Rancho Las Lomas, a rustic property tucked away in south Orange County, dotted with lush gardens, a small zoo (with tigers, zebras, & macaws!), cute cottages, and orange orchards… Thao & Dinh put so much thought into every detail of the wedding, which included amazing florals from Linda of LV Floral Events (who just happens to be Dinh’s cousin!) – I always love working with her! The day was also filled with so many beautiful emotional moments.. my favorite was probably their personally written vows, which they shared through tears of joy at the ceremony.

Enjoy this peek into their day!

I love this moment during the first dance, as Thao sweetly wipes away Dinh’s tears :)
