Francesca & Daniel at The Westin Anaheim Resort

April 11, 2026 · The Westin Anaheim Resort, Anaheim

A Westin Anaheim Resort Wedding in Anaheim

Francesca and Daniel first crossed paths on a dating app, and the first time they met in person was in Hawaii, where Daniel was living. They love to laugh at each other's quirks, and Daniel is the singer of the two, while Francesca is happy to listen to anything he sings. They married on April 11, 2026 with a Catholic ceremony at Beatitudes of Our Lord Catholic Church in La Mirada and a reception at The Westin Anaheim Resort in Anaheim. The palette was blush pink, light blue and sage green, and the day ran from suite getting ready to palm tree portraits, cocktails on the Jewel Terrace, the Carousel Ballroom and fireworks. Here is their Westin Anaheim wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details

Francesca and Daniel's rings, invitation and a Mr and Mrs Signore sign set the tone for the day, along with a Mrs tote marked 2026 and a pair of white sneakers for later.

Francesca Gets Ready in the Bride Suite

Francesca got ready in the Bride Suite at The Westin Anaheim Resort, with a balcony looking out over palm trees and theme park rides. Her bridesmaids started the morning in matching robes, then changed into light blue to help with her gown and long lace train.

Daniel Gets Ready in the Groom Suite

Daniel dressed in a black tuxedo in the Groom Suite, with family close by and a quiet moment to read a letter before the ceremony. Then he and his groomsmen in navy headed outside the Westin for a few photos before leaving for the church.

Ceremony at Beatitudes of Our Lord Catholic Church

Francesca rode to La Mirada in a white stretch limo for a 2:00 PM Catholic ceremony at Beatitudes of Our Lord Catholic Church, led by Fr. Ed and Deacon Mike. Francesca and Daniel exchanged vows and rings, shared their first kiss as husband and wife, and their sponsors signed the marriage license in the sacristy.

Portraits at The Westin Anaheim Resort

Back in Anaheim, we photographed Francesca and Daniel on the lawn, in front of the Westin sign and down the palm lined walkway. Her cathedral veil caught the afternoon breeze, which made for some of our favorite frames of the day.

The Wedding Party

Bridesmaids in light blue and groomsmen in navy suits brought plenty of energy to the lawn, matching the blush pink, light blue and sage green palette of the day.

Cocktail Hour on the Jewel Terrace

Cocktail hour was on the Jewel Terrace, with a big view toward the theme park, grazing boards and a saxophone player. Daniel changed into his military dress uniform for this part of the evening, and the two of them greeted guests as they arrived.

A First Look at the Carousel Ballroom

Before guests came in, Francesca and Daniel had the Carousel Ballroom to themselves for a first look and a private dance on the F and D monogram floor. The room was set with white linens, gold chargers and blush, white and green florals from Haus and Company.

Grand Entrance and First Dance

The wedding party danced their way in, the groomsmen in sunglasses, before Francesca and Daniel made their grand entrance. Daniel had changed into an ivory suit, and the two of them shared their first dance on the monogram floor.

Cake Cutting

Dance Floor in the Carousel Ballroom

After a big group photo with every guest, the lights turned blue and the dance floor filled up. The saxophone player came back for the party, light sticks came out, and the photo booth stayed busy all night.

Fireworks on the Jewel Terrace

At 9:30 PM we took Francesca and Daniel back out to the Jewel Terrace for the Disneyland fireworks. It was the perfect way to close out the night.
