He is one of those charismatic guys that can make friends with just about anyone: and does! Funny, patient, and caring, Eric makes Alana so happy.

She has a big heart and puts others first. Beautiful, thoughtful, and with a great sense of humor. “Alana is the most caring person I’ve ever met,” Eric says.

Alana and Eric are a lovable couple and I got to know them during their engagement session. The global pandemic put a wrench in their wedding plans. Their wedding had to be postponed. The wedding date changed. Their wedding venue changed. But what didn’t change was their commitment to each other.

They had an intimate backyard wedding ceremony last year and got married.

They’ve had to essentially plan their wedding multiple times because of the global pandemic, but they stayed hopeful and upbeat that they’ll have the wedding reception of their dreams with their family and friends present.

On their one-year wedding anniversary, with a much smaller guest list, it finally happened! Below are Alana and Eric’s wedding pictures at Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente, CA.

Ole Hanson Beach Club is a seaside outdoor wedding venue in San Clemente, CA. It’s well-known as a coastal landmark and boasts amazing panoramic views of the ocean from the rooftop terrace.

Alana finally got to wear her dream wedding dress. The couple did a first look right outside of the 1928 Spanish-Revival-style stucco building. They shared a kiss on the staircase with hand-painted tiles, and read letters to each other that they wrote over a year ago, on their wedding day.

The beach is just a stone’s throw away from Ole Hanson Beach Club. I love the palm trees all around the wedding venue. There’s an expansive lawn at Ole Hanson, which is great for family and wedding party portraits.

The wedding reception was held on the rooftop terrace at Ole Hanson Beach Club, which boasts panoramic views of the ocean.

Alana and Eric’s wedding decor was clean and classic with white florals with greenery, and a touch of blue.
