I am beyond excited to share this Monterey, Ca wedding with you!  It overflowed with romance and classic touches perfectly combined with a gold, cream, and coral palette.  When you meet couples as nice as Shauna & Nick, you can’t help but get giddy when you see them, and in my case to photograph them!  They are seriously some of the nicest people I have ever met and I am so thankful I got to be a part of such a beautiful day.  Big thanks to my friend Alicia, Shauna’s sister, for the referral 🙂  The wedding ceremony was at Carmel Mission which is one of my all time favorite churches because of its gorgeous chandeliers and rustic mission courtyard making any photographer overflow with inspiration.  After the ceremony a classic Rolls Royce came and whisked the newlyweds off to Nicklaus Club!  It was so romantic!  After a touching set of first dances, Captain Nick’s Cigar Bar opened and was a huge hit throughout the night giving guests a fun area to socialize off the dance floor.  It was one of the best parties I have ever seen as everyone danced the night away under the stars to the music of Larry Lynch and the Mob.  After the best night ever, the new Mr. & Mrs. were sent off into the night with a sparkler exit!  It was the perfect end to the perfect wedding!  I am so happy for Shauna & Nick!  Enjoy this snapshot of their beautiful day!

An emotional first look between Shauna & her dad.
