San Francisco Destination Wedding Part 2- Dunsmuir Estate

February 17, 2010 – 3:43 pm

After a fun filled morning of shooting in San Francisco, we rode with Christina & Brian out to the Dunsmuir Estate.  This historic house was built in 1878 and is a gorgeous example of Neoclassical-Revival architecture.  It felt like a fairy tale walking down the long dirt road lined with lush trees and gardens to the ceremony site overlooking the pond.

Christina’s Chinese heritage is very special to her and she incorporated the traditional Chinese wedding color, red, beautifully into the attire and decor.  We loved all of the fantastic details; the red and orange parasols available to guests, her beautiful bright red shoes, and the elegant, whimsical red and orange cake!   As the sun went down, their guests listened to the live blue grass band, played croquet on the lawn, and sipped wine beneath the stars.  In the darkness, the tent glowed with the view of the mansion in the distance.  A perfect ending to a perfect day.

Breakers Beach Destination Wedding – Coronado, CA

January 21, 2010 – 6:05 pm

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!

Moonlight Beach Wedding with Storm & Bill

July 3, 2009 – 2:07 pm

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.
