maureen & hayden :: point vicente lighthouse :: rancho palos verdes, california

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.

In attendance at Maureen and Hayden’s wedding?  Their dogs of course!  Among many other close friends and family.

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

Just married

The girls.

The guys.

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.

Time to PARTY!

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!
