The beautiful St. Joachim Church in Costa Mesa, CA was a perfect setting and environment for our lovely couple to celebrate their union.

The young priest gave a great sermon at the St. Joachim Church in Costa Mesa.

The advantage of having multiple photographers at the wedding is the ability for one photographer to sneak over and capture unique angles of the ceremony. The lights streaming in through the window of St. Joachim church created unique lighting.

Here we were able to catpure the details of their prayer at the St. Joachim Church

And here’s a classic fine-art print of their ceremony at the St. Joachim Church.

The expressions on Chad and Valinda’s faces were so full of joy and affection throughout the entire day.


Before our couple rode over from St. Joachim church in Costa Mesa to Balboa Inn in Newport Beach, we snuck in and captured this moment.

Here’s our fashionable wedding party at the beach before the wedding reception at Newport Beach.
