Last September, I had the pleasure of shooting Marykate & Han’s seaside wedding at the newly renovated Sea Crest Beach Hotel – what a blast that was! So I was super excited to return this September for yet another wonderful wedding: Kimberly & Ryan’s 🙂 With Labor Day weekend behind us, the resort was much quieter and we were blessed with a truly beautiful fall day and a beach that was nearly empty. Here are some getting ready shots of the lovely bride, who wore a ring pendant as a touching reminder of her Mom….
I loved the romantic, vintage look of Kim’s dress…
Kim chose a simple, but elegant bouquet of white tulips.
Dad stepped in and helped Kim with her veil:
Some stunning seascape portraits of Kim 🙂
Over on the other side of the hotel, Ryan was getting ready too:
Ryan with his sister, just a few minutes before the ceremony:
Then it was time to get married!!!
The gorgeous streaming sunlight made for a dramatic moment during the vows and ring exchanges….
And introducing the newlyweds!
While guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, I grabbed the bride and groom for some formal photos with their family:
Then we headed over to the beach to get some more photos of the bride and groom alone:
I loved the light in these photos…it really was a spectacular day.
Happy.
Just after sunset, the party began….
The couple danced their first dance….
The fathers made toasts 🙂
And the cake was cut!
The bride and groom’s friends surprised everyone with these beautiful paper lanterns, which they lit on the beach and released into the night sky….
Ryan & Kim, I wish you many years of happiness together! Your wedding was wonderful and I’m so happy I could be a part of it 🙂
