it's amazing to me how many couples we've shot that have been together for over a decade... it's definitely an awesome honor. joy and john are high school sweethearts and their families and friends have been waiting sooooo long for this day. self-proclaimed so-californians at heart, they planned their union to be an intimate 30-person affair in the late afternoon glow at the cliff restaurant overlooking laguna beach, with a view almost as beautiful as this couple. it seemed there was not a dry eye witnessing this couple profess their love and commitment to one another...
a week later and after a restful honeymoon on maui, they jetted back to the bay area for a larger celebration of their nuptials. they wanted to be able to share their big event with the rest of their loved ones at a wedding reception held at the holiday inn in concord. we were fortunate to be invited to this event as guests this time, however, due to a previous engagement, we were only able to catch the tail event of the party. even into the latter hours of the night, the party was still going strong!
congratulations, joy & john! we couldn't be more happy for you both and wish you a marriage filled with lots of love, laughter, and "tarpolines." =)
