The very neat thing about destination weddings is that, not only do family and friends gather to celebrate the couple’s big day, but everyone shares in the cool vibe that goes with a weekend getaway. Add to the mix the genuine hospitality from Kristy and Jim’s Cuban and Alabama families, and you’ve got a spicy-fun weekend in store!
Kristy and Jim’s intimate outdoor wedding took place at the Inn at Morro Bay, a lovely little seaside retreat nestled in California’s central coast. As I photographed their ceremony on the sundeck overlooking the bay, my head was, literally, in a cloud. Although Friday’s rehearsal was held under blue skies and warm sunshine, we woke the following morning to a thick fog bank that pressed into the coast and remained throughout the day. This didn’t dampen (hey, a pun!) Kristy and Jim’s wedding day spirits, however, and the mystical whiteness actually gave their ceremony a serene, ethereal quality. How many couples can claim that they were married amidst the clouds? The added bonus was that the soft, even lighting was absolutely exquisite for portraiture, so I was happy. And if this photographer is happy, you think it affects his creativity, hmmm? :)
Kristy and Jim, thank you for accommodating my family and I, and for just being your personable, happy selves. Your parents raised you both well. There’s a very natural, feel-good quality about your marriage and you two will most definitely go the distance.
