Breakers Beach Destination Wedding – Coronado, CA
On this cold and stormy winter day, it’s fun to revisit one of our favorite summer time weddings from this past season. Looking at these images, I can almost hear the ocean waves and feel the sun on my face – San Diego in the summer is truly paradise!
Sunshine & Eric were married at Breaker’s Beach on Coronado last August. The inspiration for their laid back beach wedding was a blending between ocean inspired colors and textures with a Zen feel. We fell in love with the bright turquoise ties, bamboo trimmed cake, and white parasols that shaded their guests.
True to her name, Sunshine is one of those rare people who can literally light up a room with her smile. One of the funniest moments of the day happened as Sunni began her walk down the aisle. Just as she rounded the corner and came into view of the audience (and her future husband!), someone accidentally stepped on her veil from behind, unexpectedly yanking her head back. Sunshine burst out laughing as she spun back to see what had happened, and Eric said this was the best thing that could’ve happened. He had felt himself suddenly overcome with emotion and beginning to tear up as he first saw her…as she laughed his face broke into a huge grin. He knew then and there that nothing could be more perfect- and that his fiance not only had a good sense of humor, but could handle all life’s little “accidents” in stride, with a beaming smile and a laugh. Apparently their guests agreed, as roaring laughs and cheers emitted from the entire crowd!
NEW Winter Fashion & Beauty Shoots for Reinventing Beauty
The new winter Reinventing Beauty Magazine is out! Check it out at CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens nationwide.
This fashion shoot was a lot of fun because it presented a special challenge: How to shoot in Southern California, on location (in 80 degree weather!) and somehow portray a sense of winter. After a lot of brainstorming, and wishing for snow in San Diego(!), the epiphany of shooting at Disney Concert Hall materialized. The clean, sleek architecture and slate gray palette set the mood for an icy cold feel, without being too literal. It is also a perfect compliment to the winter inspired (but not covered head to toe!) wardrobe. We wanted to show what to wear under the coat, hat and scarf this season to look sexy, stylish, and cool.
Special Thanks to Flora Wade for her amazing hair and makeup, Arekah C for the wardrobe, and Tiffany and Korrina for modeling!
