Carrie and Chris – Ocean View Villas

This past Saturday my friend Carrie got married in the same location that Tim and I tied the knot last month!  She helped out a ton at my wedding so I returned the favor and helped the fabulous Brenda Swann with the setup and breakdown of Carrie’s wedding.  I brought my camera along, of course!

Malgorzata Czarny was Carrie’s wedding photographer, I was only there as a helper/guest/wedding crasher!  🙂

I love all the details Carrie envisioned.  It all worked so well together.

The beautiful Carrie!

I bet this place looks familiar to alot of you! 🙂

So last weekend it poured. It hailed.  It didn’t stop.  Except for the 40-ish minutes Carrie needed for her ceremony!  The skies were amazing blue and sunny!  It was amazing since it literally was hailing in North County!

Carrie, thank you for letting me be part of your special day!  You and Chris have so much love for each other it just radiates out of you.  Have a blast in Hawaii!!!

xoxo, M
