Wedding Recap. Pic / Video Heavy

Bouquets

 I've gotten a couple of requests to do a re-cap of the wedding.  I posted TONS of these pix on my facebook, but I was reminded not everyone uses FB.  So here are my favorite pix from the casual shots taken by friends.  I am still waiting for the pro pix to come back.

I tried to include pictures that highlighted the venue, Cabrillo Beach Bath House.  I know there are not a lot of pix out there of the venue in use.  I was very please with the results!  Yes, it's work, but it's a great choice for a beach wedding on a budget.  I haven't run the final figures, but I think we were right around $12,000.  And I bought everything including the brides maid dresses. (I'm including the price of the bartender that the groom's side paid for.)  It was a truly lovely wedding and I've gotten compliments over and over again on how fun it was and how beautiful.  Please feel free to message me about my vender's, etc.
