Vintage VW bus, serenade by the groom, exit on a gondola boat ride… just a few highlights from our recent wedding. When we heard Son had written a personal song for Karli and was going to be singing to her, we knew this was going to be an awesome couple and wedding. The two ended the night by exiting to a shower of bubbles and confetti leading to the doc where a surprise gondola was awaiting them to take them to their hotel.

Watching a couple laugh and genuinely care for one another the way Karli and Son do makes our job as photographers that much more fun. Karli and Son tied the knot overlooking the San Diego skyline and Pacific Ocean at the Coronado Cays Yacht Club surrounded by family and friends. How these two met is inspiring and completely selfless, Karli who grew up in Northern California, became a nurse and full time missionary in Rosarito, Mexico where she met Son who was also working as a missionary. Son was born and raised in Haiti and left to help others here in the states, before also working in Mexico where the two met.  

Here’s a look at a few of the moments that made up such an eventful day filled with love and friendship.
