Shani loves Derek

Shani married Derek on September 23rd, 2011 at Paradise Point Resort. This couple were like two peas in a pod. Made for each other, and stuck close together. They couldn't have picked a better location for their intimate wedding of 40 guests. Shani was adamant about making sure that her friends and family had a good time, and boy did they. 

The ceremony was held on the Sunset Lawn, where the aisle was lined with peacock feathers, and gold sheer swagging from each chair. The weather held out for us and made the later afternoon wedding absolutely gorgeous. A family friend  Mike Mischke performed the ceremony while soft guitar music played in the background. Shani did a lot of the design planning on her own and made the ceremony very personal. Not a dry eye was in the crowd as the couple said their vows...especially Derek.

Soon after guests were invited to the dockside terrace to enjoy some amazing food and music, while the couple took photos along the water. It was a romantic and magical night for the Shani and Derek. The Dockside ballroom was covered in bright colored florals provide by Bethany from My splendid sentiments. The soft glow of the room made the whole reception the intimate space that Shani had hoped for. Great food, music, family and friends made the couples dream come true. I was truly honored to share in their special day!

Thanks to all the amazing vendors who made this wedding possible!

Miranda loves Russell!

Miranda and Russell married last month in Mission Bay during an intimate three-day affair. They arrived to San Diego and celebrated with an engagement session and dinner at the Prado. On their wedding day, they rented a really unique and modern rental property on the bay in Mission Bay. They married with their toes in the sand and a rooftop cocktail reception in their rental home. The weekend was topped off with a cruise, where guests set sail with the newlyweds! AS Photography was on hand to document all three occasions, and it was a unique challenge and fun challenge, as we did not get to meet the bride till the wedding weekend. But, it was a lovely day with warm beach weather. Above are a few beautiful photos from the weekend.....we especially love the touch of the parasols that traveled to us from New Orleans for a little southern flair!

The bride wanted a vintage feel, with shades of champagne, tan, peach and ivory, and we gardenias and orchids to soften the bride and groom's extremely modern venue.
