Wow, I have so many things I want to say about Norvin and Dawn, but instead I will try and let the photos do most of the talking.
You may recognize these lovebirds from their engagement session a few months ago. Since then, Norvin left to work on a huge ship (he is a Merchant Marine) and came home 10 days prior to the wedding! Dawn is such a trooper!
The day started at the new Marriott Courtyard in the NTC Liberty Station. As soon as I walked in, this is what I saw.
Then of course, there are the details!
Her dress was custom made!
The stunning bride:
This really shows the difference in men and women. Here is the couple just a few minutes before the ceremony.
The ceremony at The North Chapel.
The off to the Reception spot! I’m loving these lanterns!
And of course, the ring shots!
A quick shot during dinner!
I spotted this stairwell that leads to the top of a building. It overlooked the reception perfectly. I think it was nice for them to take a second and look over at what they created!
The groomsmen making their speech!
First dance.
Another shot from the top of the building! Breathtaking.
