Steph & John’s Monterey wedding

Here’s one way to sum up Stephanie & John’s Monterey wedding: The night ended with a mosh pit.

Steph and John got married on a gorgeous day with a gorgeous wedding at the Old Whaling Station in Monterey. Their day was filled with so much passion and perfectness that it left everybody who was there — me included — excited about it for weeks after it was over. (I’ve seen multiple posts on Facebook asking the couple if they could have their wedding all over again.)

Leslie & Ryan’s Big Sur wedding

What I can say to sum up Leslie & Ryan’s wedding? There were fire dancers. Custom home-brewed beer. We saw endangered California Condors. Abe Lincoln was there. The weather was beautiful and the ceremony was touching and the setting was incredible. It was quite a day.

Leslie & Ryan got married under the redwoods during a wedding at Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, California. These two are good friends of mine, and were the subject of a marathon engagement session a few months back.

Ashley & Joseph’s Carmel wedding

At the end of Ashley & Joseph’s Carmel wedding at La Playa Hotel, we went to Carmel Beach for photos. It was a beautiful day and the beach was packed.

After we took photos and were walking back to the newlyweds’ car, Joseph’s joy and pride couldn’t be contained — he was telling everyone we passed: “This is my new wife, I just got married!” or “Hey, this is my new wife, isn’t she awesome?!?”

Christine & Chris’ San Juan Bautista wedding

There was a moment near the end of Christine & Chris’ San Juan Bautista wedding reception (you can see it at the top of this blog post, actually) when the newlyweds were lost in a loving embrace in the middle of a dance floor full of guests getting down, seemingly detached from their immediate surroundings, off in their own world of bliss. It was a beautiful little moment, and evidence to me of how much fun the couple had on their big day.

And a big day it was. We started with photos at San Juan Oaks Golf Club (the reception site) in San Juan Bautista, went to Morgan Hill for the ceremony at St. Catherine’s Parish, took family photos after the ceremony, and went back to San Juan Bautista for the reception, stopping along the way for some photos by a beautiful oak tree.
