San Fernando Mission Wedding

We were so excited to photograph a wedding on a perfectly beautiful, sunny January afternoon at the historic San Fernando Mission. The bride was lovely and the groom handsome, so what more could you ask for. The mission is a working mission where brides and grooms can get married.  The altar is ornately decorated with gold and ornate woods.  The ceremony was very special and moving. The grounds feature a special garden honoring Bob Hope.  There is so much to see and enjoy at the mission from the bell that tolls on the hour to the living history that is all around you. We ventured across the street, running quickly to avoid the traffic, and meandered around the maze like park settings.  The sun was just going down as we made around.  Another truly memorable area.  Then we made our way to the Odyssey Restaurant in Granada Hills, where the service is matched only by the great food.  The bride, groom, and guests dined and danced the night away.  The toast given by the bride’s father was one of the highlights of the evening. Their was a caricature artist there to render likenesses of the guests. A great day was had by all and there are so many special memories to take away from the day.
