Weddings Archive

Kris and Paul were separated by a lot of ocean.  They went days without hearing from each other.  The military put a distance between them but not even being in different countries could dissipate their connection.  Paul flew in right before the wedding day and had to leave shortly after to go back to Japan.  Kris followed a few months later.  But on that day in December, it was just about the two of them, in the same place sharing one heart.

They opted for the First Look (hugely recommend especially in Winter months!)  My assistant Bryan took this photo…I love the anticipation!

After the ceremony, we headed to Celadon Restaurant in Hillcrest for their intimate dinner celebration.  Check out her short dress below…the wedding dress was convertible!!

Shane and Sarah contacted me less than a week away from their wedding date – luckily I was still available!  They had a nice intimate ceremony at Embarcadero Park at Seaport Village with dinner at Fillipi’s after.  You could tell the most important people in their life surrounded them and they couldn’t have been happier!

Robin and I share a very good mutual friend, Katie!  It was fun getting to know Robin better through the planning process. She and Zach are so perfectly matched, their love is infectious.  I’m so excited for them, they just moved to Texas to start their new life together!  Congrats you two!  Shout out to Helena from Divine Events by Helena for rocking this wedding as the coordinator! Love working with her!

Robin’s sister Heather was married earlier in the year and had Mandi as her photographer!

Shawna and Jason were married on the beautiful grounds of the Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.  The entire guest list, which included myself and Mandi, took a Carnival Cruise to the Bahamas for this wedding!  It’s a great way to get to know your couples – being on a ship with them for four days!  We felt like family by the end.  Their actual wedding day was extremely hot and humid!

We didn’t have a ton of time for photos after the ceremony, since we were due back to the ship for the dinner seating!  But you can’t beat the gorgeous light and sand in the Caribbean!

Their little boy, Aiden 🙂

Yes, those are real sharks!

Last year, Mandi and I had the honor of joining Jason and Shawna on a their cruise to Bahamas wedding!  We were among their closest friends and family and they went out of their way to make us feel included the whole week.  It was an awesome experience and I’m stoked on the images from their trash the dress and wedding day!

To be married in the Bahamas, you have to be in their waters for 24 hours, so on our first day there we decided to do their trash the dress (Shawna bought a 2nd dress for this!) in Freeport.  They were total troopers in the blazing sun (and then pouring rain).  These two rock and I am pleased to call them friends now!! xo
