When Elizabeth and her daughter Sarah first came to meet with me, I knew pretty quickly that I was going to be in for a treat with this family. Elizabeth + Jose were not only going to be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary (what a milestone!), but they would also be renewing their vows at a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony (Admiral Baker Clubhouse) — and doing it all in the company of their closest family and friends. They also made sure to let me know that they wanted some non-traditional, non-boring family portraits (their words, not mine) done before the ceremony. Needless to say, I was looking forward to shooting this event for months leading up to it!
Thank you Soriano family for being a great bunch and letting me be part of your kickass celebration!
Here are some of the images we made (don’t forget to check out the slideshow at the end):
The bride was full of emotion all day…

Such a tender, unexpected moment between Elizabeth + Jose. Jose is really one of the sweetest grooms I’ve ever met…

Square cupcakes for a wedding cake!

The kids each got up and did a toast, which made for an emotional bride…

And a sweet portrait of the bride & groom towards the end of the night…

Oh, and a big shout-out to Erika Stormoen for coming out and assisting me. Thank you for being awesome!
