Yuki and Steve eloped back in 2016, but wanted to renew their vows and share the joy with their closest friends and family. They renewed their vows overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Yuki’s father flew all the way from Japan, and carried a photo of Yuki’s mother with him as he gave a moving toast. Yuki and Steve even broke a barrel of sake to celebrate their marriage, and served shots to each and every guest. We were starting to lose light when I asked Steve if there were any other group photos he wanted, when he spontaneously asked if we could get a photo with everyone. Everyone?! Ok, everyone!
After an epic family reunion in Thailand, I’m back to share Johnna and Mark’s sweet, sweet wedding at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts. I personally feel what signifies a great wedding is when the guests feel like they’ve been able to share and celebrate in who the couple is. Mark and Johnna, whose relationship grew over their love of wine, spoiled their guests with an eye popping range of choice beverages. At one point in the evening, Mark even went table to table and personally opened a bottle of wine and poured for each and every one of his guests. What a way to host this meaningful event!
