2011 | In Weddings, by Vanessa

Kathleen + Brian had a traditional Catholic wedding at the beautiful Immaculata… a fantastic church on the campus of University of San Diego.

Kathleen got ready with her bridesmaids and family at a private home overlooking the ocean. We then took a limo-style party bus over to Old Town where Brian and his groomsmen were. Here is where they had their first look which is quite romantic as they had their very own guitarist serenading them during the process.

The celebration was stunning! It was set on a hillside at Presidio Park outside the Junipero Serra Museum. One of my favorite moments was during one of the toasts, a beautiful splash of fireworks in the distance from Sea World was a great addition to their wonderful celebration.

Special thanks to 2nd shooter Brandon Wong and assistant Jennifer Bermudez.

His, and hers respectively :)
