A Hot Time in La Jolla - Sarah & Brad
Sarah & Brad
Wedding : La Jolla Country Club
Getting Ready : Estancia, La Jolla
It may be June, but there’s was no “June Gloom” last weekend for the wedding of Sarah and Brad at the La Jolla Country Club. Despite 94 degree temperatures on the coast, everybody went with the flow, stayed cool in the shade, and had a fantastic day.
We started the day at Estancia, where Sarah and Brad were getting ready, each with their own family. Sarah’s Mother Elaine laced up the back of her dress while her brother Jack kept her cool with little hand held fans provided by planner extraordinaire Rachel Peniche.
This shot of Sarah is basically what photographers refer to, in short, as “SOOC” or ’straight out of camera” - Yep, she really looked that good:
This is Brad, about to turn around and see his Bride for the first time:
Sarah and Jennifer, Definitely Sisters.
Russ is relishing the walk and Sarah’s eyes are transfixed on her groom.
Sometimes you have to shoot from the rough at the Country Club.
We’ve all seen “the kiss” shot before….sometimes what happens right after the kiss is more fun!
Just like their engagement session - another beautiful La Jolla sunset.
The decor was largely black on black, with just the right amount of color added in.
The First Dance
During the Father-Daughter Dance
Father of the Bride, Russ Harris, sat in with the band for a smokin’ hot rendition of “Mustang Sally.” I could describe what a tight drummer Russ turned out to be, but I think the guitar player said it best to me later in private: “We’ve had Dad’s sit in with us before, but no one has ever been THAT good. He’s actually a really good drummer. Wow!”
Moments before the garter ritual……Sarah looking like she’s in old Hollywood.
Did I mention the guests had a great time too?
At the moment, I believe Sarah and Brad are comfortably ensconced in a bungalo over the water somewhere in Fiji. I wish them all the best!
