Kimberly & Kevin's Christ Cathedral and The Villa Wedding

February 22, 2025 · Christ Cathedral, Garden Grove and The Villa, Westminster

A Christ Cathedral and The Villa Wedding in Orange County

Kimberly and Kevin's favorite days together are spent hiking with their dogs and hunting down new taco stands and sweets. Kimberly calls Kevin affectionate, silly and supportive; Kevin calls Kimberly goal oriented, thoughtful and proactive. On February 22, 2025, they married with a Catholic Mass in the Arboretum at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove and celebrated at The Villa in Westminster, in peach, coral, yellow and soft blue. Between the two, they stopped for dessert at Meet Fresh and tacos at Andy's Taco Truck, then finished with a choreographed first dance, a churro cart and a sparkler exit. Here is their wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

Details and Getting Ready

Kimberly and Kevin got ready at SpringHill Suites in Huntington Beach. Their flat lay was all spring color: poppies and ranunculus around a sage invitation suite, a dusty blue ring box, and Kevin's watch, cufflinks and blue floral pocket square.

First Look in The Villa Courtyard

Their first look was one of the moments they were most excited about. Kevin waited in the courtyard at The Villa, Kimberly walked through the iron gate with her bouquet, and he turned around under the white arches.

Wedding Mass at Christ Cathedral

The ceremony was a Catholic wedding Mass celebrated by Fr. Christopher Tuan Pham. Jackson and Chloe walked the aisle as ring bearer and flower girl, Kimberly and Kevin exchanged vows and rings at the altar, and they brought flowers to the statue of Mary before walking out as husband and wife.

Portraits Around Christ Cathedral

Christ Cathedral is made for portraits: white spiral walkways, the glass cathedral, the Crean Tower and rows of palm trees. After family photos and one big group shot with every guest, we walked the campus with Kimberly's long veil trailing behind her.

Dessert at Meet Fresh

Sweets are one of their things, so on the way to the reception they stopped at Meet Fresh in Westminster. Still in their wedding clothes, they shared taro ball desserts at a table by the window and laughed the whole time, which is exactly what they asked us to catch.

Tacos at Andy's Taco Truck

Next was Andy's Taco Truck in Westminster. Kevin fed Kimberly bites at the truck window, they ate side by side in the sun, and they walked off down the street like any other Saturday, just in a gown and suit.

Portraits at The Villa

The Villa in Westminster is Spanish Mediterranean, with white arches, garden paths, a grand staircase and a checkered floor under a crystal chandelier. We used all of it for a slower set of portraits before the reception.

Reception and a Choreographed First Dance

The ballroom was set with white linens, gold chairs and columns of pink and peach roses. Kimberly and Kevin made their grand entrance and went straight into the detail they were most excited about: a choreographed first dance under the chandelier.

Toasts, Games and Cake

Family welcomed guests and raised a toast with the couple. Kimberly changed into a short white dress for the shoe game and table visits, where every table cheered, and then they cut a cake surrounded by roses.

Dancing, Churros and a Sparkler Exit

The dance floor filled up fast. Later the churro cart they had been looking forward to opened under the string lights outside, and the night ended with Kimberly and Kevin running through a tunnel of sparklers.
