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!

La Jolla Shores Wedding with Shani & Matt

Tucked away behind the Museum of Modern Art in La Jolla Shores is a beautiful little park that looks out over the ocean.   Its natural beauty and elegance provided the perfect setting for Shani & Matt’s Wedding.  These two made getting married seem like a refreshing swim in the ocean – effortless, relaxing, and filled with fun!

A few years after they met and started dating, Matt invited Shani to go for a night surf session.  As they sat on their boards under the moonlight and stars, Matt miraculously produced a brilliant engagement ring and asked Shani to marry him.  Unbeknown to Shani, he had tied the ring to his wetsuit using fishing line and planned an entire evening to follow.   They then celebrated by riding some of the most epic 50ft waves ever.  Ok- I made the last part up, but the rest is totally true, I swear! We thought it was probably the most romantic proposal we’ve ever heard of.

Anyway, congratulations to Shani and Matt!!!  We hope you enjoy this selection of some of our favorite images!

Moonlight Beach Wedding with Storm & Bill

Bill fell in love the moment he first saw Storm. They quickly became best friends, spending endless hours talking together on the phone while Bill was deployed with the Coast Guard. As more time passed and their relationship blossomed, they found that it was even better to be together in person! So Bill asked Storm & her son Ridge to move from Indiana to San Diego so they could be a family together.

They were married by the water at Moonlight Beach on a beautiful Saturday morning. There is nothing quite like arriving at a wedding, kicking off your flip flops, and feeling the sand between your toes as you enjoy the ceremony! It was a perfect setting for such a laid back, fun-loving couple.
