I'm SO excited to share today's post with you. As I mentioned in a previous post about this beautiful couple, 11 is my favorite number - this 1/1/11 Wedding was a perfect way to start out this year.
If you follow me on Facebook you'll likely have seen that some drama ensued the morning of this beautiful sea-side Wedding. The original hair and makeup artist cancelled at 12:50am. Her replacement cancelled at 7:45am (she was scheduled to be on site at 8:45am). Thankfully I have an amazing colleague in my back pocket, Cindy Rankin, who jumped in and saved the day.
And the bride? Cool as the ocean air, thank you very much. She hardly batted an eyelash about the last minute cancellation and timeline adjustment. When I arrived she was so excited she was shaking. Literally. She couldn't stop smiling and was just the picture of Wedding charm itself. This was my kind of bride!
The details were simple but perfect for the ocean-front views. The ceremony was hosted on the lawn at Ocean View Villas in Ocean Beach and an adorable buffet meal was served under a tent lit up with hundreds of twinkle lights and candles. Love was the name of the game at this Wedding and everyone could feel it. There were no fake smiles, no awkward moments, just joy, appreciation, love, happiness and an overall feeling of "This is SO right". I could go on and on about how much I loved this client but I'll stop here and share some amazing images from Cole Joseph Photography.
Cindy Rankin absolutely saved the day!
The bride and her entourage made all of the florals for the day!
Still smiling... hours and hours (and many pictures) later. Amazing!
Guest book compliments of the bride and groom!
Some of the younger guests collected these stones from the guest tables and put this together on the cake table. It was so adorably perfect!
A picnic blanket - a gift from the mothers that was put out for the guests to sign mid-way through the evening.
And last but not least - a photo of me with the happy bride!
All in all, Darren and Erilynn's Wedding day turned out perfect despite the morning's frustrations. The guests had a great time, the vendors LOVED working together and the client was floating on cloud nine (or maybe... 11!). Until next time...
You cut the cake; I'll cut the chaos!
