The Mission at San Juan Capistrano + Lake Forest, California Wedding - A Transformation

Morgan and Sean was a marriage of classical and creative wedding ideas.  They booked The Mission at San Juan Capistrano for their portraits because they said they were "just getting married at the community center in their neighborhood." We have shot at the Mission many, many times, and there are endless opportunities for great photos so the shoot was amazing as expected.  They even had a surprise vintage red Mustang to use as a prop!  The couple brought along Ray Ban glasses and wanted to do their own version of a classic California shot - you know, convertible, sun, palm trees. So much fun!  The real surprise was their "community center."  By itself it is your run of the mill modern, but sterile community use space in their neighborhood, with a pool, kitchen, and some indoor/outdoor open spaces.  When we arrived Penny Blooms had absolutely transformed the space into what would be mistaken for any number or gorgeous California wedding Venues! So for this post, we're sharing lots of portraits of this gorgeous couple, but also lots of amazing details that turned this community center into an event space. Enjoy!
