Maki & Craig {Wedding} Casa Del Mar

A couple of weeks ago, I headed down to Santa Monica to shoot a wedding with Jenny Liu at the Casa Del Mar. The Casa Del Mar is a really cool hotel and the ballroom is really light and airy and has a pathway right to the Santa Monica Beach.

Maki and Craig elected to have a “first look” where they saw each other before the ceremony. These first two shots are there first moments together on their wedding day.

We took some pictures in front of the Santa Monica Pier.

They had the cutest place cards. They were snowflake ornament/picture frames on a wire tree. They were so sweet…they had one for Jenny and me!

The centerpieces for the cocktail hour and reception were all potted plants and herbs. At the end of the night, they let everyone take them home! I love how eco-friendly it was…and it looked really nice.

They handed the mothers and grandmothers roses during the ceremony. It was a little emotional. ;)
