What is it that makes you relaxed on your wedding day? Is it having a great coordinator? Is it being so certain that every detail is taken care of? Whatever it is Robyn and Richard had it.
Robyn came to me through her sister, Kristen Garuba, of Pink Papaya Events. Kristen is an extremely talented coordinator and event designer as you will see. I have worked with Kristen several times and I was so excited to be a part of the wedding of her sister. For the first time Kristen was a bridesmaid. So fun to see her be able to enjoy an event that she put together and to see her family there enjoying it as well!
This wedding at the Estancia Resort & Spa in La Jolla was such a beautiful resort to explore and enjoy. The Estancia is a high class resort while making you feel like you are home. I never wanted to leave. This La Jolla Resort is an incredible location for any Wedding, Reception, or just a great place to have your guests stay. Love this place!
Okay here are all the great vendors that Kristen & Robyn selected for the wedding:
Coordinator: Pink Papaya Events
Ceremony & Reception: Estancia La Jolla Resort & Spa
Officiant: Reverend Clint Hufft
Florist: Botanica
Cake: Michele Coulon Dessertier
We got a chance to hang with the girls for some details shots first…
The bridal room at the Estancia La Jolla is incredible. It is spacious and has great light. There are is also a ton of cool furniture for us to play with. I love the huge clock that hangs in the bridal room with the accent of the yellow couch. Not to mention her Stewart Weitzman shoes that were classic and beautiful!
Once we got done with that we had a little time with the groom, Richard. We had such a great time with Richard. I could have spent another hour just photographing him. He was silly, and relaxed the whole time. We were eating it up!
Then his father / best man joined him and I saw right away where he gets his charm and character from. Look at these two dashing men!
Once Robyn was ready we headed back to the room to get some shots of her and her sisters who were also her bridesmaids. Robyn’s dress was so beautiful and I just loved the flower in her hair and the way her hair swept to the side.
The ceremony was set us as a circle and the couple stood in the middle. The officiant, Clint Hufft, created such a magical service for them. It was filled with personalization, and emotion. It was honestly one of the most touching services I have ever attended.
I loved the way they set up the bowl of flower petals at the ceremony site for guests to grab as the couple walked back down the isle.
After the ceremony the petals made for a great place for the kids to play. The flower girl looked so sunning surrounded by the white rose petals.
