wedding: shannon and josh

as shannon and josh's december wedding was approaching, james and i were keeping our fingers crossed that the rain would stay away. every weather report said something different, but on the wedding morning, the sun was shining brightly and rain was nowhere in sight. the girls got ready at the sheraton harbor island, a short way down from where they were holding the ceremony and reception at tom ham's lighthouse.

absolutely gorgeous!


and the groom looking handsome...

shannon chose the most fabulous colors for her wedding, pool blue and red. for those of you who are as obsessed with paper source as i am, you'll instantly recognize the coolness.


shannon and josh chose to do a first look, which is always fantastic for photos, love the expressions here and how happy they look to be getting married!



we headed over to coronado, and there was no rain in sight, only bright sun (bad for photos) and lots of fun. we started at the ferry landing and then headed down to a tiny little park that looks like it was built for pictures. perfect...

i was just a little obsessed with how amazing shannon looked...




some wedding party fun...


a little pre-ceremony prepping...


and then for the ceremony...


i don't remember what it was, but something was super funny...


and now you are husband and wife!


following the ceremony it was time for the grand entrance and reception fun...


shannon and her dad surprised everyone with a fast-paced boogie...


super cute!

and finally, the cake cutting, super delicious cupcakes, love it!

shannon and josh, best wishes on a lifetime of happiness, beer and adventure!
