{Kal + Tony} Muldoons | Newport Beach Wedding Photographer

Yesterday I got to witness and capture one of my best friends wedding. It's been so awesome because Kal and I have been friends for 10 years and have been through a LOT together. But what is even more special is that I've been able to play such an intimate role in their wedding. I was there the day Tony proposed to her by total coincidence. Kal and I eat breakfast and lunch together every day since we both teach Spanish at the same school and our classrooms are only down the hall from one another. So it was so fun to talk about all of their wedding plans and exchange ideas.

I could not be more happy that Kal has a found a man like Tony to share her life with. Since the moment I met him, I knew he was an awesome guy and would take great care of my friend. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Acuña! I'm super jealous that Kal will now have a Spanish name for her students to call her by....Señora Acuña. Ahhhh, I love the sound of that.

A huge thank you to my second shooter Amanda who was there to capture the day with me. Especially since she allowed me put down the camera and enjoy the reception! I had a blast!

There were so many fun details to shoot. Super cute ring pillow from Etsy...

Kal & Tony had an incredible view from their presidential suite at the Newport Beach Marriot.

The dress is hanging over the bathtub. Not a bad view while bathing...

I got a chance to work withTiffany of Flawless Faces again and I loved how Kal's make-up turned out.

Custom dress hanger from Etsy...

I love this next shot of Kal. Typical fun face she makes...

I have been dying to shoot a bride with a bird cage veil!

I was so happy to hear when Kal decided that she was going to wear one.

No one could pull it off better than she did. She looked AMAZING!

I'm always envious of Kal's clothing and accessories and her wedding day was no exception.

I just love every piece!

They opted for a first look. It's so nice to have time for their portraits.

Pretty people!

The celebration took place at Muldoons in Newport Beach...

Kal got all of these awesome burlap banners from Etsy as well.

They looked so awesome strung throughout the venue.

I always a sucker for a shoe shot (captured by Amanda).

Tony, Kal, and her beautiful girl Bella. Bella looked so adorable and so GROWN up. She is totally Kal's "mini-me".

Matron of Honor & Best Man with the bride & groom...

Friends...

Tony with his beautiful mom!

Kal & Bella played "Uno" while waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Another cool capture by Amanda.

I saw this book case in the room Kal was waiting in before the ceremony and I knew we had to get a couple shots in front of it. While I was taking the above shot, Amanda got this one below. I LOVE IT! Maybe a fave from the whole day!
