Tiffany & Praus's Coronado | Il Fornaio Wedding!

I absolutely adore small, intimate weddings! In my past experience as a guest at small unions, it is an honor because you truly know how important you are to the bride and groom. As a photographer, it is an amazing feeling because you get to be more involved with the the entire experience: you get to know the guests more and you really feel like an integral part of the celebration.

Tiffany and Praus and their families made me feel so welcome and involved. Tiffany got ready at Loew's Coronado Bay Resort and met Praus at Coronado Beach for the ceremony. Their reception was held at Il Fornaio in Coronado. The food and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed, just as Tiffany and Praus requested!

Thank you, Tiffany and Praus and your families, for making me a part of your special day!

There is a gentleman at the Hotel del Coronado who does sand art of varying themes throughout the week. I loved how his theme was romantic on the big wedding day!

What a lovely wedding! You are absolutely right about the charm of intimate gatherings, and you have captured this one so well. I love the shots on the beach, the long table, the sunset. The bride is lovely, and I couldn't help but notice that we have very similar engagment rings! :) Beautiful work as always, Shawna.

So, Shawna. Here's the thing. You know I said I wanted to see how you shoot a kid's session, well now I want to hang with you while you're shooting a wedding. I love these. The couple, both bride and groom, are gorgeous. Love the interactions shots between them on the beach. And the shot of the groom's hands... very cool.

Beautiful work Shawna! So much emotion! I especially love all the details. Her dress is great, it's a lot like mine though it was strapless, so I'm partial. ;)

haha! Totally had to look up "cock-a-hoop." LOL! Turns out, it means being in a state of boastful elation or exaltation. As such, I could approve your comment for the blog, Iain! :) THANKS!
