Hotel Del Coronado & Breakers Beach San Diego Wedding

You know that feeling when you first dating someone that you really like?  You get butterflies in your stomach, you light up when you hear their voice on the phone, and you just can’t wait see them again… Well, that is what Tiffany & Alan are like ALL THE TIME!  They have this fresh, sweet, joyful way about their affection toward one another… you can’t help but get caught up in the romance of it!

We started out at the Hotel Del Coronado for getting ready, family, and romantic portraits.  After that, the bridal party hopped in a classic Old Town Wedding Trolley and rode over to Breaker’s Beach for the ceremony and reception.  We loved how (instead of holding the ceremony on the deck) they invited guests to kick off their shoes and relax so-cal style for the gorgeous beach ceremony– now that’s how we do it in San Diego!  Subtle details like the seashell lined aisle, beautiful candy bar, and bright color palette all came together so well to perfectly match the light breeze coming off the ocean.

Special thanks to all the vendors who made this beautiful wedding happen:

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Destination Wedding – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

There are some weddings when everything simply comes together – perfect weather, a gorgeous location, and an incredibly fun-loving couple.

This summer we were very fortunate to escape San Diego’s unseasonably poor weather by flying to Cabo San Lucas and shooting Megan & Justin’s beach wedding at the world renowned Pueblo Bonito Resort.  With a five diamond rating and distinction by Travel & Leisure as one of the five best spas in Mexico, Pueblo Bonito was an awesome choice for their ocean side celebration!

So many little things made this day perfect for us: Megan’s fabulous, thousand watt smile and the way her sisters giggled in delight as they walked her down the aisle…The endless blue sky and wispy clouds straight out of a movie…How intimate a wedding can be when friends and family have travelled together to celebrate…And the light in Justin’s eyes when he saw his bride walk down the aisle in that jaw-dropping dress.

For anyone thinking of planning their wedding in a fantastic far off location, our advice is to go for it!  We’d be more than happy to come along and take pictures for you ;)

Special thanks to Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort!

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.
