Making wedding photography easier (and more fun!) with tips on how to own your day!
Hi, I'm Ashley Brunell
Welcome Friends
An Orange County Catholic Wedding
The day started at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. We had access to the whole property for photos and it was PERFECT for their first look! Even though the global pandemic made their day look different than originally planned, they didn’t complain and they remained joyful and excited. And they had so much to stay excited about!!
Surrounded by their family at Saint Kilian Catholic Church, they pledged to be each other’s person for the rest of their life. I hope Kristine and Warren remember how powerful and special this day was. It’s the beginning of their new life together as their own family.
Overall, we love this sweet couple and we love this family. I can’t explain how much of an honor it is to be asked to photograph their wedding!! Kristine and Warren, thank you for inviting us into your life, and thank you for trusting us with your gorgeous Orange County wedding!! Enjoy my favorites from your day and enjoy this new season!!! See you in 2021!

Last week I got a message from my business accountability partner Erica asking if I had written my blog post on my “why”, MY MISSION. Nope, I hadn’t. And instead of saying just that, I gave ALL the excuses as to why it wasn’t done. At this moment in time, with the world how it is, it’s easy to give in to the negativity. I gave myself a little grace from 2019 and two months to sit with what was happening around me. And it was glorious.
