Kristin + Abraham. Married. Old Orange County Courthouse Photographer.

Although Kristen dislikes coffee, she agreed to meet Abraham for an initial coffee date. They knew they were kindred spirits as anything and everything they spoke about on this first outing made them want to dive deeper into the conversation, which made them realize that their shared passion to know more was going to provide them with some amazing life experiences. After this relationship continued to sprout into love, Abraham had the cutest proposal on Christmas Eve. Kristin had just returned from a trip abroad with sixty plus students and was in much need of some rest and relaxation. So they started that evening off pretty calm by going to his parents’ home to open gifts. Abraham’s father was a bit anxious maybe even just as much as his son, and like a true child on Christmas Day, he kept on asking when it was time to open gifts. After waiting for what must have seemed like an eternity to Abraham, he was down on one knee in front of the Christmas Tree. After an extendedly excited and nervous silence, Abraham finally erupted with the big question. Wow, what a Christmas gift…a pretty ring for the pretty lady and a new and exciting future for both Kristin and Abraham.

Kristin arrived at Old Orange County Courthouse in all smiles and was dressed to take Abraham’s breath away in a lovely white wedding gown. She was holding a delicate bouquet and wearing an exquisitely detailed pair of cobalt blue heels with white embroidery on the sides (I know, I wanted a pair too). He was polished from head to toe looking like the perfect match for his gorgeous bride. Together with their immediate family and friends, they pronounced their love for each other. It was a beautiful day to document the joining of their two families and witnessing the love they share. I was very lucky indeed to be able to keep all of these memories alive for them by freeinge each and every frame of their love.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Palomares!

How could this one not be my favorite? Love it!

Oh Kristin, you are just lovely!They had a little fun with the posing here.
They are ready to attend the ball!
Although the dancing pose may seem overused, I just love it because each and every couple has their own “spin” and lets all their emotion show. My second favorite because you are just so darn cute Kristin!
