Mary & Brandon's Wedding at Bali Hai


as promised, here are some more details from mary and brandon's wedding at the Bali Hai. Actually, the pre-wedding shots were taken in mary's choice suite at Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites.




mary's dress was beee-yooo-teee-ful.










i loved mary's necklace, but i had to go and guy-it-up a little by puting it on this fine leather.




have you guessed the secret of this shot yet? props to whoever guesses the light source correctly first.
not so fast melissa. :)




maybe this will help. insert jeopardy music here.







picture perfect




i love the bali hai. it's a great place to get married or simply relax by the bay.




mary looked absolutely amazing as she walked down to marry brandon.







there's something about mary.










mary's maids, bride's maids that is.




there were amazing fresh flowers by Nancy Stevens everywhere. she really did an incredible job.




i love the flowers on this cake by Shirley the Cake Lady (619-561-9377). for one second they made me feel like i was in hawaii.
not pictured here was the dj, Bill Calhoun. his music couldn't be captured in camera, but it was enjoyed all afternoon.




no more fishing for brandon. mary's a keeper.




baby smiles are the best!




thanks mary and brandon. i love seeing couples that know how to have fun at their wedding. may you have a life full of happiness together.




thank you so much melissa. it was such a pleasure working with you (and you ally). can't wait to shoot with you again.

    That last shot is why Adam and I aren't doing a garter toss. The idea of having him under my dress in front of all our friends and family just mortifies me. :)

    Our rehearsal dinner is going to be at Bali Hai and we're getting married at Humphrey's. I'll probably be getting ready in a suite just like that one! I'm so excited!

    I love how you made the bride look so beautiful and comfortable.
