Congrats to the Newlyweds! I couldn’t be more thrilled for these two sweet souls. They’ve been so patient in allowing their love to blossom over the years. Chad + Carissa met in junior high school and remained close friends throughout high school and college. After finishing undergrad, they were in the same church group and friend circle, and in their own words eventually, “found countless qualities to love and appreciate in one another”. I love the fact that just a few days after Thanksgiving, they became husband and wife. Much to be thankful for indeed!
Their wedding took place on the golf course at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. The were surrounded by 180+ friends and family. Immediately following a heartfelt ceremony, the sunset and light started to dim, as the fog rolled in thick. It actually felt like Fall in San Diego (imagine that!). That didn’t stop them from walking around the grounds with us to capture some romantic moments, including the happy-to-be-married dance (one of my favorite moments from their day). The bride looked so pretty, with make-up done by Alice at My Secret Salon. The Flower Shop designed the table arrangements for the reception, and the bride and her mother did the bridal bouquets. The Cravory provided a decadent dessert table. The reception dance floor was energized thanks to David Leeds. And a special thanks to Eder Photo for helping me with second shooting.
I hope you are loving every minute of being married, and enjoying some time together during your Hawaiian honeymoon. Aloha, and thanks for having me as your photographer Chad + Carissa!
