The next day after shooting Mike and Christine, I got to run down to beautiful Carlsbad to shoot Mike and Cristy’s engagement photos! This couple was just as much fun as the last, and I got to see the beautiful beaches of Carlsbad as well, which I don’t get to very often. Mike and Cristy have a lot of spunk, and I am so excited to put them in the spotlight on their wedding day!

Mike and Christine’s Seal Beach Engagement Shoot

Finally, after months of not posting any of my weddings I have shot, I am back on track! I am kicking off my renewed effort to show you what Bonilla Photography is up to with a lovely couple, Mike and Christine. We went to the beautiful Seal Beach Pier, and had a blast shooting this fun couple who clearly are smitten with each other. I love doing engagement shoots, as we can just goof around and really get into the heart of the relationship. We look forward to capturing Mike and Christine’s vows in September!

Dave and Kendra had a splendid two day wedding extravaganza. They were married at the Newport Beach LDS Temple, then had a ring ceremony at Chapman University and a reception in a beautiful backyard. It was a lot of fun to follow them around to their various events and to witness their joy over their two day celebration.
