They are what it’s all about. Not only do they exude love and happiness, but they have such genuine hearts that are big enough to encompass all around them. They make me happy; and so do these amazingtastic pictures of their wedding day. You see, their wedding wasn’t like any of the rest. They started with a ‘venue’ (I use the term loosely because, for lack of a better word, I call it such; what to call a home filled with so many memories and love and happiness?) of Bridget’s grandparents’ beautiful bayfront home on Balboa Island. A home that was pretty much built to host one (or more?) of their grand-daughters’ weddings. To that they added family. Lots of loving, adoring, incredible family- and friends! You can’t forget the friends. And topped it off with loads of fun, sunny California weather, a rockin’ band, and delish food and drink (good old G + T’s huh, Bridge:)) Crissy (of Christine Farah Photography) and I were in our element pretty much all day long. See for yourself:

bdw1Bridget’s sassy, flirty, perfect-for-her Vineyard dress made pretty much every girl who saw it jealous. I want one too!!

bdw2The guys; such troopers they were. I’m not gonna lie- it was WARM that day. But they kept their cool (at least they looked to be keeping their cool) in their perfectly preppy (with a touch of Lily added for good measure) attire. Not gonna lie part 2- I want one of those ties for Greg. REAL mean wear pink- quote me on that.

bdw5Some girls get all the luck…Seriously; Bridget could not be any more adorable/gorgeous/stunning/vivacious. I adore her.

bdw6J. Crew: eat your HEART out!

bdw10I have to brag for a minute. I got to drive a golf cart on this day. A REAL golf cart; for only the second time in my life. Chauferring Bridge, Dan, and Crissy around the island for some pictures made my day! It’s the little things in life, right? While we don’t have any pictures of me and the cart- we do have loads of fun shots from the places we traveled to, like this empty laundromat…

bdw13…and the infamous fruit stand by the ferry. If you know the Island, you know this fruit stand…

bdw14…and this colorful garage door Crissy spotted.

bdw16And then back to home base we went, with no incident. Oh- I take that back; the golf cart spontaneously busted into the USC fight song that is the horn while driving down the road. I had to turn the cart on and off, with traffic backing up behind us. Kept my cool though, as the professional golf-cart-driving-wedding-coordinator that I am:)

bdw8Details; lovely, lovely details.

bdw20No Swedish Fish were harmed in the taking of his picture. Ok…maybe one; but in my defense, I was craving Swedish Fish!
