It was a beautiful weekend at the beach. Facing the water, walking on the sand, and watching the bride walk down an aisle of “bottled flowers.” My daughter Heather was escorted by her son Noah.

I call this one “happiness.”

Also at the lunch: my son Brett and grandson Alec, with me in the middle…

The next day, we were back in town for the reception…
***
We did a little goofing off with some frames…First, bride and groom…

Then, bride and mother of the bride…

The weather was perfect, and the fairytale ambience carried us through. After all, who doesn’t dream of a beach wedding, along with a happily-ever-after?

I enjoyed the sweet pictures of your daughter’s wedding. Yes, a ceremony on the beach is so romantic — scenes right out of a romance novel! Congratulations to the bride and groom.

Thanks, Sandra, it was a wonderful day, perfect weather, and I so enjoyed getting away from the valley for a while. I decided that I need more getaways.

Thanks, Brona, as we were preparing for this one, I realized that it has been a long time since our last family wedding. In fact, I can’t remember when it happened. Years ago, I know.

Thanks, Diane, the weather really came through for us. Just enough coolness to know we were at the beach, and without a heavy breeze.

Thanks, Patty, it was perfect…except for the lengthy traffic jam on the way there. But we went the day before, so it worked out.

What a lovely wedding! When I was planning my wedding, I thought about doing it at the beach–but the Oregon Coast is not known for its predictably nice weather!

Thanks! I love California’s Central Coast…it is not as heavily trafficked as the northern or southern ones, and the quiet and quaint small towns are delightful. Thanks for stopping by, Melinda.
