The day was intoxicatingly beautiful, the colors chosen for their wedding celebration were vibrant and said everything true about this couple, Julie and Mauricio.

Amber and Benny Bodega Harbor Yacht Club, October 17, 2009

Amber and Benny's friends and family came from snowy-cold Minnesota to celebrate their wedding on the beach in Bodega Bay, where Amber and her family have been going for vacation for most of her life. Cindy, the mother of the bride, pointed out all the houses they've rented over the years as we drove around looking for photo locations the week before the wedding. Their families treated me as one of their own, complete with a handmade place-card, and a seat with their friends for dinner. Amber and Benny's son, Aiden, was part of the ceremony all the way, and looked about as happy as his Mom and Dad when they said "I do" and kissed. Thank you, Amber and Benny, for letting me be part of your day, it was an honor!
