“Ican’t believe we are so lucky…” Danielle breathed in awe at the amazing view of downtown San Diego skyline from the harbor. Fingers interlaced, she feels her husband by her side, and hears excited chatter from guests, raising their glasses and celebrating in the distance. They were married just minutes ago, and the day couldn’t get better.
Jonathan and Danielle love being by the water and knew that they wanted their wedding to be surrounded, not just by their family and friends, but also by a beautiful body of water. Their wedding was held at Bali Hai at Shelter Island in San Diego, California on a warm July day.
The tropical venue set the stage for Jonathan and Danielle’s bright summer wedding. The beautiful bride wore a lace dress with a low-cut back. The intricate train of her wedding dress trailed behind her. Danielle walked down the aisle with an all-white bouquet of white roses and orchids, her favorite flowers. Wrapped tightly around her bouquet was a golden locket with a photo of her late father.
At the end of the aisle, she was met with smiling eyes from her groom who would wear one of the diamonds from her own father’s wedding band. There were so many special moments in Danielle and Jonathan’s wedding, as well as special details that are uniquely theirs.
Danielle and Jonathan exchanged vows that they wrote themselves under their wedding ceremony arch decorated with gorgeous arrangements of white orchids. Their friends and family clapped in celebration as they sealed their marriage with an amazing first kiss.
The San Diego sky was blushing pink. Both of them are smiling brightly as they shared their first sunset as husband and wife.
It was an honor to capture their beautiful wedding day in photographs. Below are photos from Danielle and Jonathan’s wedding at Bali Hai on Shelter Island in San Diego.
The bride and groom opted to do a first look where they see each other before the ceremony. Jonathan couldn’t stop smiling at his bride.
On their five year anniversary, the married couple will open up this box and share a beautifully aged wine as they read letters that they wrote to each other on this day. What a great time capsule and a romantic way to celebrate five years of marriage.
Various hues of guava, and coral-colored florals matched the bridesmaid’s dresses. The white orchids, and green foliage looked simply elegant against white linen and gold chiavari chairs.
Married!
I love this candid photo of the happy bride.
Danielle, you looked absolutely breathtaking in your wedding dress!
