Michelle and Stephen’s Orange County cathedral wedding was full of love, happiness, and stunning architecture. Against the backdrop of the holiday season, their joyful celebration soared with heartwarming moments and delightful surprises that made their day uniquely theirs. Let’s take a journey through their special moments.

Michelle and Stephen began their day with a private First Look on the rooftop of the Marriott Irvine Spectrum. The panoramic cityscape and Christmas decorations provided a beautiful backdrop for this special moment. As they enjoyed each other’s company, we captured some stunning moments with just the two of them. The wedding party later joined them on the roof for group photos, channeling epic Vogue vibes.

A Timeless and Elegant Cathedral Wedding

The Christ Cathedral in Orange served as the perfect setting for Michelle and Stephen’s sacred Catholic ceremony. The awe-inspiring crystal architecture of the church, a symbol of timeless beauty and grace, provided a beautiful venue to seal their love. Joined by their loved ones, Michelle and Stephen’s vows echoed through the magnificent space, solidifying their commitment with a traditional ceremony. Afterward, the grounds of Christ Cathedral provided a picture-perfect backdrop for capturing portraits in the soft afternoon light.

Outfit Changes and Charming Surprises

The Marriott Irvine Spectrum hosted the couple’s vibrant and colorful reception. Overflowing with festivity, every corner was adorned with twinkling lights and vibrant seasonal decorations. Their outfit change into traditional Vietnamese wedding garb gave a nod to Michelle’s heritage and added to the uniqueness of their love story. One highlight was their heartwarming First Dance, where Michelle and Stephen’s deep connection was on full display, swaying to the rhythm of their love.

Santa Claus and his Elf even made a grand appearance, spreading joy and laughter among the guests, especially the little ones, adding a sprinkle of magic to the evening.
