Wow, did I have a blast shooting Cherie & Angel’s Catalina Island wedding! They chose Catalina Island as the perfect destination for their intimate nuptials on the beach. Surrounded by their families and closest friends, Cherie and Angel exchanged vows on Step Beach and then the party was on! The newlyweds made sure the day was filled with good food, great friends, a visit to one of the island’s cantinas and of course, a chance to dance the night away at the local club! It was such a fun day and I was so happy to be part of it. Thanks, Cherie & Angel!
