Dan and Hyunjung's "I Do"

A few weeks ago I had another chance to shoot with my buddy Justin Lee in San Diego. I wasn't sure what to expect, but all Justin told me was.... "Girl... this is a SWEET couple and a SWEET location!" Okay... so I left knowing just about that much and maybe a little more. We show up to The Grand Del Mar a little before we're supposed to be there, the valet parks my (Christopher's) little silver Honda Accord in between a beautiful Lamborghini and a classy Bentley, and then Justin and I got some lunch at the beautiful cafe and ate our lunch while enjoying the sun in the sunroom...

We met Dan and Hyunjung in their suite with the family all around.... it was a calm afternoon and the family was just beaming with anticipation. Here's some detail shots...


They were dressed in their traditional Korean outfits... so beautiful! I loved the colors and Hyunjung told us about how the outfits characteristically are made with contrasting colors like theirs. I loooooved them! Look at the detail of these clothes!


The grounds were AMAZING and so elegant! We took the happy couple all over the place taking Grace Ormonde worthy images. Here's just a few of my favorites I took throughout the day...



Side Note: This little guy was so cute in his little bow tie and tux... such a happy kid :)








Overall, the day was VERY relaxed, sophisticated and elegant, and intimate... I loved how there were less than 30 people involved and they enjoyed a simple and intimate ceremony with chairs set in a circle, and a private dinner in one of The Grand Del Mar's wine cellars. Many thanks to Paige Levy, the wedding specialist, for the amazing details and service for Dan and Hyunjung's day! That girl knows how to throw a wedding... let ME tell YOU!
