What a happy and joyous wedding celebration which  took     place at the beautiful home of the groom’s mother right on the beach in Oceanside.  It was a perfect San Diego day and the couple was surrounded by their adult children, parents and dear friends.  It was a lovely “feel good” celebration of marriage!

On a trip to India and Nepal last month, along with trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas, white water rafting, an elephant back safari and being in awe of beauty of the country and it’s people, I happened upon a Nepali wedding taking place in a small village and wanted to share the photos.

The bridal couple is adorned with white rice paste and the usual colorful Tika on their foreheads.  As you can see, it is pretty much a female event!  The men were in the field next to the venue, smoking, chatting and playing their musical instruments.

Dave and Honey had their BIG day on a private area of Sunset Cliffs surrounded by a small group of family and special friends.  They have been sweethearts since childhood and their life paths took them in different directions but on this beautiful and special day they were glowing as they came together and recited their marriage vows and promises to each other.  Michele Goane of Captured Forever snapped her usual beautiful array of photos of the event.  She is so easy to work with and definitely has an eye for beauty and detail.  A lovely event in every way!
