Wedding: Garrett & Marilyn | Green Gables Wedding Estate, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | San Diego, CA Wedding Photographer

I am so excited to post my favorite images from Garrett and Marilyn’s wedding day! These two exude joy and their love was bursting throughout every second of their wedding day. What I love about these two is how much they soaked in every moment. It’s easy to get stressed in the midst of wedding chaos, summer heats, and timelines, but these two were nothing but smiles from start to finish. Marilyn was one of my favorite brides to work with because she fills my heart with so much happiness! Her smile and laugh is so contagious! Marilyn  is going to be such a fun wife and she found a perfect partner in Garrett. He is sweet, I love his calm demeanor, and I love the way that he adores Marilyn! These two mixed in a few Samoan rituals which were really exciting to capture. Hands down, my favorite money dance EVER! My favorites are posted below… Enjoy!

Happy tears shared between the bride and her mama! 

Is she the cutest or what?

I love all the blush!

Boudoir albums make the best present… and it makes for the best reactions!

First touch! Sharing a prayer prior to their ceremony.So sweet!

I love these two!

LOVE!

Cutest little cocktail/reception area!

Such a fun idea!

Her bridesmaids surprised them with a hula! Very sweet!

Outfit change for her Samoan money dance! They just kept throwing money at her. So awesome!

Tossed it right into the chandelier! 

Look at that effort!!

And it was tipped off to the girl in the back! Bouquet tosses crack me up!
