Michelle & Dan - Coronado, CA

Hotel Del Coronado

 
On July 26th these two little lovebirds tied the knot!
I met Michelle early on in the planning process and from day one she had her sights set on the Hotel Del. The second we arrived to tour the Del she lit up, you could tell this was it for her...this was her dream and Dan, her father and I all knew we had found the spot for their big day!
The day had arrived and the hotel was buzzing with tourists, you see Michelle and Dan unbeknownst to them chose the very same date as Comic Con weekend in San Diego and many of the stars stay at the Hotel Del, we were all on full alert for Mr. Downey Jr.! The sun was out in full swing from sunrise and on with not a cloud in site, although the July weather gave us more heat then normal I don't think anyone felt it, they were all so happy and filled with excitement to share this day with Michelle and Dan.
The day began with the girls getting ready and enjoying a few memorable laughs and might I say these ladies clean up well!


 
Michelle & Dan decided to exchange letters without seeing each other before the ceremony, this proved to be one amazing photo op as well as a touching private moment for the two of them.
 
Let the Journey begin...

 Michelle & Dan were married on the Windsor Lawn


 The bridal party were so much fun!


 Michelle, you looked stunning, as I knew you would!!
 Oh stop it right now...so in love!
 Fingerprint Sign-in Book proved to be a success and a fun thing for them to hang in their home later on
 Michelle & Dan chose to host their reception in the coronet room.
 Table names were in "Love" all in different languages

Michelle & Dan added a little sparkle to their invites

And last I had to end with one of MY favorite photos...the photo of Michelle's dad when seeing her for the very first time as a bride...Priceless! 
Michelle & Dan, your light between the two of you is so strong and so alive it shines through to everyone around you.
I feel blessed to know you and have had the pleasure to get to know your family so well. I wish you so much love and happiness and cant wait to see where life takes you both...together.
Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Gracia!!
