Siobhan and James: San Diego meets the Emerald Isle
La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club
October 26, 2008
What’s the expression, “last in, first out”? Well, last weekend was a first for me, three weddings in a row. Ouch! Siobhan and James’s wedding on Sunday was the last of the three. Yes, it was grueling but in the end it only served to re-affirm why I love being a wedding photographer. First, I loved that it was morning wedding. The light is just different in the morning - not necessarily better, but different is always welcome. It keeps things fresh. I also REALLY enjoyed the “Irish element”. Many of the guests on Siobhan’s side flew to San Diego all the way from the Emerald Isle to be part of the wedding. They couldn’t have been nicer people and I LOVED listening to their accents.
The wedding itself was a simple affair at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club with the ceremony taking place right next to the Duck Pond on the par-3 golf course. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails on the sand and then a reception brunch inside a small reception room that looks out onto the ocean. It was a beautiful, understated event with much love and plenty of great photo opportunities. I hope you enjoy this small sneak peek…
