December 26th Wedding, The Immaculata and US Grant, San Diego

01.12.2010 • Weddings, Portraits and Clients •

I’m so happy to finally post images from this wedding! I think this is the longest I’ve ever gone between shooting a wedding, and blogging it. The wedding took place the day after Christmas, and with the craziness of the holidays and the new year, I just hadn’t gotten around to it until now. But, it’s worth the wait as I have TON of images to post!

This was about as fun and easy as it gets to photograph a wedding. The bride and groom chose amazing venues (The Immaculata and US Grant Hotel), and factored in plenty of ample time for me to photograph them both before and after the ceremony. We were also blessed with amazing weather and light. I posted some images of the reception photobooth from this weeding in the post below, and now finally, here are some of my favorites from their big day!

I just love this dress and it’s details!

Mom, helping with the finishing touches…

TOTALLY love the classy vintage feel of her ensemble!

I don’t think she was very nervous. That, and I’m an extremely funny guy!

The adorable flower girls:

A few portraits of the gorgeous bride…

I know these two are similar, but I couldn’t choose a favorite, so I’m posting both!

The groom cleans up pretty nice too:

The Immaculata is a gorgeous church on the campus of USD:

A couple from the ceremony:

First kiss!

The happy couple:

After heading down to the reception at the US Grant, we shot a couple of portraits in and around the hotel before the party started.

I know this shot is slightly out of focus, and has a little movement to it, but I think it really adds to the vibe and happiness of the moment.

One more on the street:

The first dance was so much fun. The crowd was super loud, and the happy couple had some classy moves on the dance floor!

The couple hired a full Mariachi band for the dinner hour:

And lastly, here’s one of MANY fun shots during the reception. The couple had all sorts of different props that were distributed throughout the night to keep the guests hopping! Here’s a fun shot with some streamers. I love the groom the left side of the screen covering his face.
