wedding: andrea and john

i have known andrea for many years, she is my super-star colorist at the hippest and coolest salon in san diego, gila rut. so when she casually mentioned one day that she was engaged after i had just told her i started a photography business, i was thrilled when she asked me to be her wedding photographer.

although the sky looked ominous early in the day, the sun came out for the wedding ceremony at the world beat center at balboa park. the setting was perfect for the very untraditional wedding, where the bride wore RED and looked absolutely amazing.






there is a really cool tradition where you put sixpence in your shoe for good luck, and andrea was wearing her grandmother's shoes, how cool!



all the ladies representing...


and the guys looking ready for the big moment...

andrea looked so happy to be getting married to john...


we took some time after the ceremony to catch andrea and john before the craziness of the karaoke and live-music reception





the reception was the most fun we have seen, great live music (did we mention john is an amazing musician?, see his band pic below) and all the guests did karaoke, some more than others.

we haven't had time to get through all the reception pictures, but they'll be done soon. congratulations andrea and john, and thank you for inviting us to be your wedding photographers, we had a great time!
