Wendy + Aaren [Shell Beach, CA Wedding]

This summer I got to shoot a destination wedding at home with Wendy & Aaren. An amazing couple who actually calls the beautiful state of Georgia home, came to the Coast to make their vows official, and I have to say, seeing my backyard through another couples eyes makes me fall in love with where I live even more!
Because Wendy & Aaren lived so far away, we didn’t have a chance to built our friendship until a couple of days before, but it sure didn’t feel that way. Their warm spirits and friendly entourage made me feel like I was a part of their family.Shell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraShell Beach Wedding by Christan ParreiraIt is always amazing to me to watch a wedding unfold. There are so many dynamics, so many elements, so many emotions and I just get to go along for the ride. Above anything else that day though, Wendy & Aaren seemed to exude this supreme joy that transcended all else; this joy that allowed them to LAUGH & make me laugh in return, a joy that allowed them to get lost in celebration both privately and shared.
Wendy & Aaren, thank you for inviting me into your day. I am touched by your kindness and am blessed to have been a part of your day.Shell Beach Wedding by Christan Parreira
