Angelica & Diego’s Intimate Ole Hanson Wedding in San Clemente

Angelica and Diego’s wedding at Ole Hanson Beach Club was the kind of day that reminds me why I love photographing intimate celebrations. Nestled along the coast in San Clemente, the Spanish-style architecture and ocean views created the most timeless backdrop for their classic white and green wedding design. Their florals were elegant and refined — lush greenery paired with crisp white blooms that felt both sophisticated and effortless against the coastal setting.

What made the day especially meaningful was its focus on family. Diego’s loved ones traveled all the way from Brazil to be there, so keeping the wedding smaller allowed for deeper connection and intentional moments throughout the day. There was so much joy, emotion, and gratitude woven into every hug and every toast. As the sun set over the ocean and we captured their golden hour portraits, everything felt calm, romantic, and incredibly personal. It was a beautiful celebration centered on love, legacy, and bringing two families together — truly an honor to document.
