Congratulations Samantha and Chris!
For days before Samantha and Chris’ wedding down at the Ocean View Villas, we were keeping our fingers crossed that the rain would hold off long enough for these two to tie the knot. As we rolled on down the road, we looked up and saw blue skies and those great big puffy “post-rain” clouds. It turned out to be a beautiful day! That’s just the way it goes for weddings in San Diego. Rain one day, gorgeous nuptials the next.
We took Sam and Chris out to the cliffs right next to the villas for their First Look. Chris totally had ants in his pants waiting for his beautiful bride-to-be to walk up. And when she did, the sparks flew! We love First Looks. Such a beautiful way for the bride and groom to spend some private time together on their most important day.
Here are some more sweet images from Samantha and Chris’ wedding. Enjoy the slideshow!
Just before the ceremony, we spent time with the bridal party at an old garage just down the street. Got some great stuff of these crazy kids hanging out, enjoying each others’ company and just plain having fun! They were all so stoked to be there which makes our job absolutely delightful!
Samantha and Chris’ ceremony was held under a large transparent tent at Ocean View Villas (after all, it *was* supposed to rain, right?). As all that natural light poured into the tent, Samantha and Chris exchanged their vows in front of all their family and friends. It was really quite gorgeous!
Mazeltov!!!
Awwwwwww…Love how the world around them disappeared as they shared their first dance as husband and wife…
Ahhh the Hora. What great fun for the couple and their families! I am happy to report that no one was hurt during the performance of this dance.
Here are the guys sporting a few bottles of Chris’ OUTSTANDING home brew. We have a lot of respect for people who can brew their own beer correctly. YUM!
