Hotel Del Coronado Wedding }{ Vince & Cheryl

We photographed Vince and Cheryl’s wedding on a gorgeous San Diego day at the unbelievable Hotel Del Coronado.  The weather was perfect and the day was a blast to be a part of!  Originally the couple had somewhat of an unconventional more customized reception planned for their guests and didn’t include a first dance.  Vince (one of the coolest most genuine guys I’ve ever met) ended up completely surprising Cheryl with a flash mob where he joined in and brought her out to enjoy a dance together as newly husband and wife.  Everyone loved it!  What a moment, it was so fun to photograph.the groom's custom cuff linksthe pink bow tie the groom wore to his wedding at the Hotel Del Coronadotiger shirt groomsmen funnydresses hangingmakeupthe groom wearing his j crew suit and bow tiethe bride at Hotel Del Coronadothe groom and his J crew suit for his wedding

The Bomb Mom

Back in ’88 Ariel took bronze in the “bomb mom” category but this Mother’s Day she came storming back and took it all the way to “Goldville.”  Here’s a peak into the life of my wife and the bombest mom my son could’ve dreamed of!  Happy Mother’s Day to all the bomb moms out there!
