How often do you get to photograph a destination wedding in a perfect picturesque seaside resort with a bride who just happens to be a supermodel, a groom that looks like one, and in which all the bridesmaids are supermodels too? And if we told you that there was competition-level dancing involved, absolutely perfect Californian weather, and and lots of In and Out burgers served on silver platters to boot, you'd think we were making it up! But we pinched ourselves and it was all true - the bride and groom met at an In and Out burger joint, fell in love instantly and were swept off their feet, and the next thing you know, the wedding bells were ringing (only this is a Californian seaside wedding for those not paying attention - so no actual bells were ringing, but you get the idea).
The resort was the exquisite Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa on Mission Bay, with its own private beach where the lovely couple held their ceremony. Everything was meticulously planned right down to the color of each guest's attire (which matched the color of the walls in the reception hall). The couple showed off their dancing skills and we settled down to first dinner (chicken) and then supper a.k.a. second dinner (In and Out burger with three types of fries). Oh and we got some amazing photographs because... well how could we not? Everything was already picture perfect before it went into the camera, and we can't wait to share the photographs coming out :)
And to Rachel Cook (née Rachel McDonough), Tony Cook, and their new family, we wish you the very best in the future, congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, and may you be #cookingupforever well, forever.
