Back at the end of July Lindsay and I drove down to Monterey to photograph Susan and Mark's wedding. The day began with the getting ready shots of Susan in their honeymoon suite overlooking the Bay at the Marriott. I couldn't believe how lucky they were to have a perfectly clear day in Monterey for the wedding. As it turns out the very next day you couldn't even see the bay because of the fog!
The limo picked up Mark and then a few minutes later, Susan. The ceremony site was the beautiful historic Perry-Downer house in downtown Monterey. Susan and Mark chose to see each other pre-ceremony, so we arranged for the ceremony site to be completely quiet for their special first moment.
After the family shots and the ceremony it was off for a walk around historic downtown Monterey. Absolutely charming! We had so many gorgeous settings for images of the bride and groom and their party.
The reception was in the top floor ballroom of the Marriott. What an incredible view! Cecilia from SightNSound provided the entertainment. Susan and Mark had been taking dance lessons- and it certainly showed during their first dance! Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars led into classic Sinatra.
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
