Lisa and Garrett’s August wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado combined the sophistication of that beautiful venue infused with celebrating Aussie-style.
The Australian bride’s family traveled all the way to San Diego. Except for Dad, who wasn’t able to make it, but was hooked in via Skype!

I loved working with this couple, and had a blast with Lisa, who taught me the correct pronunciation of “Aussie.” and introduced me to Australian treat – TimTams. yum!

Laptop was set up on a bellyhigh table so that the bride's father in Australia could hear his daughter say, "I do"

Hilary Medovich with the Del was fantastic to work with – she made everything so easy.
As did DJ Kelley. From the moment the music started, the dance floor was never empty.
And great as always to work with Mark Hillis – once again records it all beautifully with incredible and creative photography.

Congratulations to Tom and Michelle!

Friday evening I performed their wedding ceremony at Centennial Park on Coronado.

All the groomsmen were former or current military service, and one of them had actually served on the Midway before it was decommissioned. We had a view of it from the ceremony site looking back toward the city. It was pretty great.

The Chapel at NTC in Pt. Loma is such a hidden gem! Thank you to Events Manager Rebecca Duckworth at NTC events for the great tour yesterday!

Lovely, understated and elegant, this nondenominational chapel will suit any ceremony

The beautiful simple interior of deep woods and stained-glass window offers a perfect tranquil setting for any ceremony.

This location is open to all faiths and is available to everyone. Bring your own officiant or minister, music, etc. (If you would like organ music they do require that you hire their professional organist.)

It’s a lovely blank slate for any wedding.

And, ladies, you will love the HUGE and beautifully appointed getting-ready room. The guys have a great hang-out spot as well – there is plenty of comfortable space for all your family and wedding party to gather before the ceremony starts.

Additional unique ceremony sites at NTC include the beautiful Rose Garden and the gorgeous Courtyard with views of the fountain.
