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!

The Cabrillo Lighthouse with Jenni & Hugh

Last week, Shane and I were lucky to be a part of a very, very cool wedding coordinated by our friend Alexandra from ARAffairs.com. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful afternoon. The sky was beyond blue and a cool breeze tempered the warmth of the sun. The ceremony was held at the Cabrillo Lighthouse in Point Loma at the very edge of a cliff, overlooking the water below. If you’ve never been up there, it’s definitely worth a day trip! The view of the San Diego city skyline, rugged cliffs, and miles upon miles of ocean is breathtaking.

After the ceremony and a small portrait session by the lighthouse, the entire wedding party and family boarded the yacht America in Seaport Village for a private sunset tour of San Diego Bay. The night was made even more perfect with live music from Allison Adams Tucker and her incredible jazz band. As the sky darkened and the stars came out, Shane and I marveled at just how romantic and special this wedding was. We wish Jenni, Hugh, Henry, and Annie a wonderful life together with lots of joy and love.
