VANTAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

You might remember Robin and Dave from their Little Italy engagement session back in February…you know, the super fun, smiley couple that adored each other? Yep, that’s them. It was clear at their wedding that the feelings of adoration had only grown stronger in the interim, too. Robin and Dave left many guests in tears after reading their personalized vows to each other – I, myself, got a little misty eyed even. The wedding was gorgeous, too: no surprise since it was planned with help from the awesome ladies of Ever After Events. I loved spending the day with this fun-loving, happy-hearted couple and their guests. Oh, and you want more proof of how fun they are? They surprised their guests with a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream booth. Yeah. Ben and Jerry’s. As in, ice cream. YUM!!! A big thank you to them for letting us share the day. (And a big thank you to Dexter Lo for helping Michael and me to document it!)

It’s hard to sum up how amazing Annie and Brian are as a couple. I think Brian’s sister said it best during her toast when she said something like “I didn’t really believe in soul mates until I saw the two of you together.” Exactly. There is a profound level of respect between them and they have an abundance of love for each other as well as for their families and friends. And they really know how to have fun and not take themselves too seriously. I just kept thinking throughout the day “this couple is gonna make it.” They just….fit.

The wedding day itself really fit them too. The pastor who married them, Father Bonnaventure, was from a small village in Uganda where Annie and Brian helped to build a children’s hospital…they got married at the Immaculata on the University San Diego campus where they first met…they danced their first dance to a song they discovered together while abroad (it’s featured on the slideshow in this post)…they were surrounded by people that so obviously loved them that it made me teary eyed.

I only hope that the images I created (along with the awesome Dexter Lo) can do justice to this couple and their beautiful day.
