Long Beach Wedding | Jamia + Nelson Part 2I have a soft spot for parents. I always get teary eye watching parents of the bride + groom on their child’s wedding day – from the way they look at the child, to their interactions. It’s just as much their day too! I love this series of Jamia and her dad. After he lifted her veil, he whispered something in her ear… I wonder what he said to her.
The Wayfarers Chapel is such a gorgeous backdrop. You can’t beat a glass chapel on a cliff that overlooks the ocean.
This is one of my favorite portraits of the day.
I also love these portraits we got outside of the chapel. Such gorgeous trees!
Then we headed to The Reef in Long Beach where they had a beautiful reception. Escort cards were hung on a tree. Marbleized swirls on their cake with cute bows. And more calla lilies!
There was a great view of downtown Long Beach from the patio. Nelson and Jamia framed one of the photos from our engagement session and had guest sign around the mat.
You know how DJ/MCs commonly have guest pass a dollar around the table to see who will win the centerpiece? Well, it was hilarious when the DJ had the winner of the dollar bring the dollar up and give it to Jamia. I love this photo Jonathan caught of Jamia with her dollar bills!
I love the drapings from the chandelier. It made a great first dance photo!
Love their little cake topper!
And a bouquet toss with all the single ladies…
Nelson and Jamia, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your beautiful wedding day! You both have such loving and wonderful family and friends. Enjoy marriage life and I look forward to seeing many more milestones! xoxo
