He is easy-going and pensive with eyes that crinkle sweetly when he looks at her. She is kind and thoughtful, with a radiant smile and some killer dance moves. They both love music and festivities, and their love for life and each other are evident in their beaming faces on their beautiful wedding day.

Below are photos of Kristen and Lloyd’s gorgeous wedding at The Westin Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego.

Kristen and Lloyd’s love story began about four years ago and since they met in Las Vegas, they’ve been practically inseparable. On a cloudy Spring day in San Diego, they married at Saint Joseph Cathedral. Afterward, they celebrated being officially Mr. and Mrs. with family and friends at The Westin Gaslamp Quarter Hotel in San Diego, California.

Lloyd proposed to Kristen in the Gardens of Trocadero in arguably the most romantic place on earth…Paris. Across the Eiffel Tower, under faint Parisian stars, she said “Yes!” to him. (See Kristen and Lloyd’s engagement photos and read more about their proposal story here.) They highlighted this unforgettable memory in their wedding with lovely details recalling their time in Paris. Their wedding palette was romantic blush, beige, bronze, silver, and hints of lavender.

Kristen gifted her lovely bridesmaids with a box of lovely goodies: scented and customized candles, rose gold earrings, a necklace, and a compact mirror.
