Wedding at Anaheim Sheraton - Orange County Wedding Photographers
Fantaye and Damien wed at the beautiful Anaheim Sheraton. It was a sunny day, perfect for their outdoor courtyard wedding and the brides choice mix of a natural and bright colors scheme couldn’t have been a better compliment to the setting. Since we photographed the couple’s engagement session not too long ago, they were plenty prepared and enthusiastic for the big day’s photo sessions and Mike & I got to play a game of cat & mouse as we took the bride & groom around the property for their individual sessions, being extra careful that they wouldn’t catch any glimpses of each other before the ceremony. Honestly, as comfortable as Fantaye and Damien are in front of the camera, we’ve wondered if they’re moonlighting as professional models.
During the ceremony, there was a bit of a distraction with a few bees at the alter and to everyone’s surprise, the reverend saved the moment by pulling out a can of bug spray! Of course that site had everyone, including Fantaye and Damien cracking up and even made for a couple of unique shots (see below) 
After the wedding and more photos, everyone headed up to the ball room where the atmosphere was intimately set with candles, vibrant, colorful roses and some cool ambient lighting that matched the color scheme. After the traditional festivities at the reception we captured some extra fun as the crowd danced to Ethiopian music along with the brides family, we had a tough time getting in the middle of everyone grooving but luckily we managed to get quite a few shots of the action up close!
Check out some of our favorites below, and watch their day unfold in the SLIDESHOW.
