Jessica + Evan’s Wedding: The Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach


shadehotelweddingromantics

The second I met with Jessica for coffee, I instantly sensed her sweet + calming demeanor which made me feel like I was conversing with a friend and not a client.  We talked, and talked, and I mean…we talked.  

Jessica has it all–she’s intelligent, kind, compassionate, and is a stunningly gorgeous woman.  I didn’t get to meet Evan then but when we finally did meet, the two of them together made complete perfect sense.

Jessica + Evan exchanged their vows overlooking the Southern Californian coastal sunset at the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach.  The golden hour allowed for us to take the most stunning photos which highlighted their love ever so perfectly. 

Jessica + Evan, standing amongst your family and friends made me realize that what the two of you share is nothing short of magical.  Your warm and inviting personalities draw people in and we just can’t get enough.  For this and so much more, thank you for allowing me to document your amazing love.

Loved their ring choices.  A whole lotta diamonds and a touch of rose gold.

Jessica started getting teary eyed when her mom helped her into this gorgeous gown.  I think it might've finally hit her that today was the day.
