Some weddings feel like reunions, and Michael and Sharon’s was exactly that. They found us through two past couples whose weddings we had captured years ago, so seeing familiar faces again felt like catching up with old friends, all gathered to celebrate another love story years in the making.
Their journey began with a chance meeting in Las Vegas that turned into a long distance romance built on timing, trust, and a lot of laughter. What started as friendship grew into something steady, joyful, and deeply connected.
Our team flew into San Diego to capture the day. The morning opened with a light drizzle, but just as guests arrived, the clouds cleared and the sun came through. From that moment on, it was blue skies, a soft breeze, and golden California light.
The energy was set early. Groomsmen kicked things off laughing and opening Pokémon cards, while bridesmaids stunned in pastel pink dresses, each style reflecting their own personality within a soft spring garden palette. Every detail felt intentional and effortless.
The ceremony was emotional and grounding. Surrounded by blooms and loved ones, Michael and Sharon paused to bow to their parents, honoring the love and sacrifices that shaped them. It was a moment of gratitude that anchored the entire day.
Cocktail hour featured a sushi hand roll station that guests kept returning to, followed later by an ice cream bar that became the perfect late night treat. Once the music started, the dance floor came alive with K pop, EDM, and nonstop joy. The energy was contagious, and we even found ourselves dancing along.
Michael and Sharon wanted their day to feel natural and unposed, focused on presence rather than perfection. We captured the in between moments, the quiet exchanges, the laughter, and the emotion that told the real story. This was more than a wedding. It was two families coming together, two cultures blending, and two people finding home in each other.
We felt incredibly grateful to witness it all. This wedding was not just unforgettable. It was a reminder of why we do what we do.
