You can never tell what kind of weather you’ll get in June along coastal San Diego. It might be foggy and cool, and feel more like February than June, or, it might be sunny, gorgeous, and hot. With this wedding from last June, we hit the weather jackpot!

The bride, a New Jersey transplant, had always dreamed of having a wedding on the beach. Cuvier Park (also known as The Wedding Bowl)was the idea location. The problem was that she hated the idea of being so on display. The solution? Get married on a Wednesday afternoon!
Lanterns with bright flowers spilling out hung on shepherd’s hooks lining the aisle at this Cuvier Park Wedding.
The intimate ceremony was attended by only close family, and was officiated by Bethel Nathan of Ceremonies by Bethel. One of the wonderful parts of working with Bethel, is that she takes the time to get to really know the couple, and the particulars of the relationship. The ceremony for this couple spoke so truly to who they both were as individuals, and as a couple. Everyone who attended was blown away with how different, and special, the ceremony felt.

The reception took the form of an intimate dinner party at La Jolla staple the Marine Room. Classic cocktails, phenomenal food, lively conversation, and that amazing view of La Jolla Cove made for the perfect evening for this couple. The location made it easy to steal away for a few moments on the beach with photographer Lisa Conrad for some amazing sunset portraits.
One long table kept the familial feeling for the dinner celebration.
A series of small mercury glass vases loaded with bright summery flowers decorated the reception dinner.

I was honored to be a part of the wedding celebration for Brendan and Michelle. Happy first anniversary, and to many even happier ones to come!
