Finally, I am ready to share with you the rest of the photos from their amazing wedding! With the help of Sharaye from What A Wedding!, everything ran smoothly without a glitch.

Don’t you just love these lanterns? Their friends and families did a great job hanging them up all over.

Their wedding took place at Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park. Beautiful venue.

The flower girl was sooooo cute! She literally ran down the aisle and rushed over to her dad!

These wedding programs really came in handy under the ninety degree sunlight!

We took a few more pictures of Andrea and Craig after the ceremony. I just couldn’t resist the late, golden afternoon sunlight.

Some details at the reception…

My favorite moment of the day was Andrea & Craig’s ‘first dance’. They didn’t have a traditional first dance where they dance alone with everyone else watching them. Instead, they invited all the couples to dance with them on the dance floor. It was such a beautiful scene when all the couples started dancing around them. It looked as though they have found each other in the sea of people.

Maybe it was the music…I don’t know…but I almost teared up when I took these shots! I just thought it was so romantic…

and so sweet.

Andrea & Craig - congrats again! Thank you so much for inviting me and Daniel to document your wedding day. Thank you for being so trusting and flexible when we asked you to stand and sit in weird places! You guys are so perfect for each other and we wish you guys many years of happiness and awesome photography adventures!
