Katy and Jonathan were married at the exquisite Miromar Lakes Beach and Country Club…this venue always inspires me!
Katy’s dress was stunning, complete with different textures, many layers, flowers, and sparkles. I loved every single inch of it! Like, loooooooved it.
Ahhh, Katy’s bouquet is among my favorites ever…peonies give such beautiful layers and depth to a bouquet.
Katy gets dressed with the help of her mother and mother-in-law.
Jonathan and his Mom!
Jonathan, this is SO you.
Katy, you are stunning!
Katy and Jonathan opted for a reveal prior to the cereomony, and it was such a special moment. The look of love in their eyes will never be forgotten…these two are truly made for each other.
You two are such a pleasure to photograph…thank you!
I love this:
The cabanas on the beach at Miromar are the ultimate romantic place:
Green hedges, you make the best back drops!
Gorgeous bridal party…these colors are so fabulous!
I love the following images of Katy and her Mom…these are priceless.
Ceremony time! Katy and Jonathan had the most beautiful floral arch built on the water’s edge for their ceremony…only the rain came…so we had to switch to plan B. The arch was brought to the doorway of the reception area and the ceremony was held indoors. One would never know that these flowers were soaking wet!
Katy and her Dad make their way down the aisle:
Jonathan and Katy make eye contact:
And the vows begin:
Katy’s sister, Kelly played and sang beautifully:
Katy and Jonathan blended salt together to signify two becoming one:
And were powerfully prayed over by Jonathan’s grandfather:
We made our way to the reception, were the tables were set:
Such an elegant cake, I love the simplicity of it (and of course the peony on top):
Before introductions, I found the bridal party hanging out…the way they were naturally grouped together was just right for a quick photo:
Making things official, Kelly signs the marriage certificate:
First dance = romance:
I am left wondering what the groomsmen were laughing at…and I love this image!
Father-daughter and mother-son dances…I always have to shoot through the tears…the emotion of this moment get me every time!
A competitive garter toss!
The cake was delicious, I had a piece. y-u-m!
A few more spins around the dance floor for these lovebirds:
