I just received these awesome pictures from Anna and Jimmy’s 8.18.18 infinity wedding held at the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley back in August. The reception was held at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza in Berkeley. Brandon Wong Photography did an amazing job capturing the beauty of this venue and the fun we had during the ceremony. It was very beautiful and very touching.

This week alone, I’ve had two potential clients ask me if I am a “real pastor.” I get it. With so many wedding officiants out there calling themselves reverend, minister, priest, and pastor it’s hard to know who is the real deal and who bought their title online. Before we go any further, yes, I am a real pastor. I have a bachelor’s degree in Religion and years of experience. Check out my church! Then, scroll down to read why I think couples should always hire a “real pastor” to officiate their wedding ceremony. CHAPLAIN CHRIS When I first started officiating weddings, I was working as a chaplain for a Read more about Reasons to Hire a “Real Pastor” for Your Wedding[…]
Huntington Beach is a wedding hot spot in Orange County. I have officiated a ton of weddings in and around Huntington Beach and for good reason. It is centrally located, it has some of the best shops and restaurants in Southern California, and the pier is world famous. The US Open of Surfing is held in Huntington Beach year after year making it internationally known and locally respected, plus the pier is one of the most photographed Southern California landmarks in history. So when a couple thinks of having a beach wedding, it’s natural that they think of Huntington Beach. Just this week I did a 25-Year-Anniversary vow renewal on the Read more about Huntington Beach Wedding Officiant[…]
Wedding planning should be fun, and with me, it usually is. Here’s a picture from a few days ago with my friend and a future bride Maggie goofing around in the Water Tree Events photo booth after a consultation. Stress is a natural part of planning an event as big as your wedding, but does it look like she’s stressing? Maggie, her fiance Tyler and I have had a blast getting to know each other and planning their custom ceremony. I don’t post this to brag as I’m sure that lots of officiants have fun with their couples, but rather to give you some insight into my process. My couples know Read more about Fun Wedding Officiant[…]

Welcome back to my blog. It feels like it has been a very long time since I posted. With Valentine’s Day behind us, it seems that the wedding season has come early. These past few weeks have been busy with weddings, vow renewals, and this past weekend was my first Wedding Expo. Still, a blog post is long overdue and after driving through Dana Point today I figure this blog post will focus on this great Orange County city. I feel lucky to live in Southern California.
