Maureen & Hayden married in Rancho Palos Verdes at the Point Vicente lighthouse.  Civilians aren’t usually allowed access to the grounds for a wedding but that was no problem for Maureen, the daughter of a Coast Guard Admiral!

They both got ready at the beautiful Terranea Resort.

Hayden sent Maureen a beautiful letter that made her tear up.  So sweet.

Maureen’s grandma was sure not to miss a moment.  Her camera was constantly within reach.

The happy couple decided to do a Celtic Knot tying ceremony.  It was very beautiful and unique.

We snuck off for a few photos in and around the lighthouse.  I wish every couple could get married here.  Between the light, the setting, and the totally fun couple, I was in heaven.

Unbeknown to Hayden, Maureen had been taking hula lessons and surprised him with a hula at the end of their cocktail hour.

The insanely creative details were done by Maureen and her family.  I just love a good DIY wedding.

This wine was made especially for Maureen & Hayden.  They wanted everyone to give it a try and sign the bottle as their guestbook.  See what I mean? Clever.

I’ve never seen a couple compliment each other so well with their fun, adventurous, silly spirits.  You both are amazing and may you two have the most wonderful life together!

  1. This might be one of my favorite wedding shoots of yours. I heart the color palette of the bridesmaids dresses. And how cute is that shot of Grammy w/ her camera at the ready?
