Surf & Sand Resort, Laguna Beach CA
I promised you sneak peeks and HERE they are! I was so excited to check my inbox and see an email from Jim Kennedy! (He has even more on his blog). Last Sunday was an absolute dream come true for my bride & groom, Andrea & Chris. I always love working at the Surf & Sand Resort……it holds the most breathtaking Ocean View for a Laguna Beach Ceremony.
As I mentioned in my post below, the morning of the wedding was clear as clear can get, and then seconds before sending Andrea down the aisle, down came the rain. Hey, I must admit…..it made for the most stunning and memorable ceremonies I’ve seen this far. They say it is good luck and BOY do I believe it! What made it even more spectacular was how HAPPY everyone was. Both Andrea & Chris were gleaming from sheer excitement during their “I DO’s” and the guests were overjoyed to share this moment with them.
Chris and Andrea really wanted a great band so we brought in The Antix to rock the reception. Their energy was captivating and they never had that dance floor empty! I cannot say enough great things about this band! Simply Spectacular!
I feel so lucky to get to be apart of such an amazing wedding! We had a ball throughout the planning and I couldn’t ask for better bride & groom! Calm, Cool, Collected, and did I mention HILAROUS? When I first met with them, Chris had me crying from laughter. Our meetings were always tons of fun and I truly feel grateful that I was able to help them have that FUN wedding that they both wanted. I love it when my clients tell me that they really want a big party and a good time for their guests…..and we had JUST THAT!
Flower Allie brought in the amazing floral design (more pics coming of the reception details). I’ll have even more pictures to share soon from Jim Kennedy so stay tuned. Until then….ENJOY!
This is one of my favorite pictures! Andrea looks vibrant!! 
Taking in a moment alone before the ceremony……….
Always with a taste of humor, Don Johnson delivered a touching & personal ceremony.
Dark clouds make for dramatically beautiful pictures like this…
Sealing the deal!
The Happy Couple! Sportin the Vans!
Sharing a celebratory cigar with his buddies….We had a cigar lounge set up in the cocktail area.
Chris & Andrea wanted to surprise their guests with a little late night snack….Jack in the Box Tacos. Yum!
The Photo Cabina was brought in by Jim Kennedy and was a HUGE hit! I filled a basket with props and the booth was never empty! Good Times for all. (I even took a few myself with my assistants….maybe I’ll share that later.)
Thank you Andrea & Chris for letting me be apart of your big day!! I’ll miss you both! Cheers to many many years of love & laughter! (((HUGS)))
