I am so excited to share this beautiful wedding at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado!


The day was full-on sunny San Diego, with a light ocean breeze, and the rustling of palms in the courtyard garden.

The elegant interior made for a perfect backdrop for the details and getting ready shots. Plenty of natural light, high ceilings, drapery, wooden walls, and leather furnishings.


We went out to the interior courtyard and garden for the first look, and a private vow reading. I captured some sentimental shots of them wiping tears away as they read their vows and held each other. After their private moment, their friends joined in for some photos before the ceremony!


The ceremony was hot and sunny, and the couple was considerate to provide bottles of water for their guests. They said their I do's with the ocean behind.


What followed was a garden-style cocktail party, with champagne and hors d'ouvres served on platters by the attentive staff. Reunions, laughs, hugs, and smiles.


Finally we entered the Grand Ballroom - a large and luxurious space with large windows to the sunset, and crystal chandeliers. It was beautifully set up, with every detail in perfect order, just like a dream fairy-tale wedding. After a champagne tower and some toasts, they danced away under the lights.
