Wedding Blog

Last week I shared Catherine & Mark’s lovely beach themed invitations with you. Today, I’m going to share some images from their wedding.

As I mentioned, the lunch reception was hosted at the Marine Room in San Diego, and this picture above showcases the amazing view that was right outside the window next to me. In fact, I took this picture while waiting for my first course to be served. It was a mid-January day, but no one would’ve known it with the 70 degree weather!

Dark red roses and stargazer lilies added a perfect splash of color to the white tables. Mark & Catherine used pictures from their engagement session in their table numbers, and also sprinkled sea shells around.

The food was sooooo good. On the left, a crab cake appetizer. On the right, roasted chicken.

Mark & Catherine had a fake cake—only the top tier was real. For dessert, we were served a delicious and hearty slice of ice cream cake.

Photography blog stalkers, can you guess who the two shooters are in this picture? They’re Nate and Jaclyn Kaiser of The Image is Found. The bride and groom hired them to document their lovely wedding day.

The couple did an after shoot on the beach with Orange Turtle Photography. Cindy, the principle shooter for Orange Turtle (wearing red in the pic), was one of the bridesmaids, so she couldn’t shoot the wedding and did an after shoot instead. The other shooters in the picture are my friends who were guests of the wedding. They’re huge photography geeks and they lug their gear everywhere; I thought this pic was amusing and quite fitting. Mr. Eggplant is the one with the Flip Mino cam, taking video of the events.

And lastly, because I love me some wedding eye candy, I wanted to share some of the stunning images from Catherine & Mark’s shoot on the beaches of San Diego. I’m swooning over these images. Catherine is gorgeous—she looks like a classic Chinese movie star. The pictures make me drool and wish that I could frolic on the beach in my wedding gown too! Seriously, I’m itching to dress Mr. Eggplant in a tux and drag him into the waves with me.
