Ritzau/Moore Wedding

One September 6, 2008 Cory and Kristen made a lifelong commitment to each other in San Clemente, CA. They said their vows at St. Andrew by the Sea United Methodist Church near where Kristen grew up. This was the church that her grandparents were founding members and her parents were married. The church was adorned with orchids, calla lillies, roses and sea shells. I met the girls at "Shake it", a hair salon in San Clemente the morning of the wedding for some pre-wedding photos. The bride, bridesmaids and mother of the groom and bride were all present. It was a fun time. Then, they made their way over to the brides house for finishing touches. It was so sweet...Kristen's dad wanted to give her the bouquet before she was one her way to see her groom.
A reception followed the ceremony at Irons in the Fire : San Clemente Golf course. It was so special because Kristen and Cory wrote personal notes on the place cards to every person that attended their reception. It was a testament of their love for others.
