Cynthia + Jay’s Wedding • Marriott Marquis • USD Immaculata

Cynthia + Jay could not be more made for each other! (That’s MFEO to the cool kids.) Their wedding really showed off San Diego, and  – spoiler alert – ended with fireworks their guests wouldn’t forget! The expansive views of the Marriott Marquis were the setting for most of the day’s festivities.

Jimmy Choo got a shout out. The girl’s got taste!  Cynthia is like a living doll. We think she is adorable, and her smile lights up a room!  These girls were dressed to kill! Meanwhile, Jay wasn’t looking so bad himself.  Here comes the bride… ready for her First Look!  The two had a quiet moment to connect before the wedding train left the station.
What is it about a huge limo that just puts everyone in a party mood?  Two of them, actually. The Immaculata is appropriately named: it’s perfect!  How to Get Married 101: Surround yourself with your loving family.
These two could not be more endearing together.  Family was involved with the ceremony itself too.   The kiss! Outside the chapel, we spent some sweet moments with the newly married couple.      Back at the Marriott, the reception was about to begin. Elite Image Limo got everyone back in time to party! Beautifully designed by Sabrina Cadini of La Dolce Idea atop one of the Marquis decks overlooking the bay, this party was gorgeously elegant.  Check out this custom wood photo puzzle, which was perfect for the couple’s theme of ‘A Perfect Fit’! We had the pleasure of working with this super detail-oriented couple to find the puzzle maker that was right for this cool guest book idea!  The favors, keychains shaped like puzzle pieces, reminded guests that the couple’s puzzle wasn’t complete without each of them. 

How can you help but to love this cake table?

Thanks to Tess Fresh Flowers, purple orchids added a delicate sway of color, accented by beautiful crystals. 

“I’d like to introduce the brand new…”

We love a great grand entrance! Cynthia + Jay were enthroned on the stage with a sweetheart booth complete with a “Mr. & Mrs.” sign.

Some sexy live sax.

The speeches were unforgettable. Luckily, Michael Cerundolo of Focused Bliss Productions was on hand to capture every hilarious and heartwarming moment.

Sound Prodigy kept the crowd dancing well into the night. 

Flour Power‘s cake was a delicious addition to their puzzle theme! All the single ladies!

Our friends and clients.  We love seeing familiar faces when we shoot!

As “Firework” by Katy Perry played, guests marveled at the perfect finale. And a sparkler gauntlet provided their getaway during the Grand Exit.  Cynthia + Jay… it’s been a huge blessing to work with you!  Thank you for inviting us to enjoy your day with you. We wish you and your families the very best in the years to come!
