InterContinental San Diego Wedding, St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church Wedding - Melissa + Chris

A teaser of wedding film (Melissa & Chris) - “Whisper”

 

Melissa and Chris’s wedding was extra special to me. Not only had I known Melissa from years ago when her best friend Eunice got married in San Francisco (which I haven’t blogged about - shame on me; it’ll eventually happen, though!), but I was also able to work with my lovely team with Brett and our filmmaker Ailin for their candid wedding photography.

A Beautiful San Diego Wedding & Ceremony!

Melissa and Chris - two very shy and smart people who live in NYC, got ready and partied at InterContinental San Diego wedding reception venue, and their ceremony was at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church.

Their ceremony and wedding reception in San Diego was filmed and is featured on my website homepage here; please scroll down the page - it’s a 10-minute-long. :-)

One of the things that surprised me was that Melissa was emotional (cried) on her wedding day, as I had been told that she was pretty even-keeled and didn’t show much emotion. And I’m so glad our filmmaker Ailin was able to capture that special moment while Chris was “whispering” to her.

Melissa and Chris met in San Francisco in the summer of 2019. They spent the first few months of their relationship in SF before she moved down to LA during the pandemic. Chris planned to spend 3 months in LA, but ended up spending 9 months in LA as the pandemic went on. He then spent time with his parents in Boston for 3 months before moving back to San Francisco, anticipating return-to-office. Melissa was supposed to follow him back to SF, but because her job had kept postponing returning to (the SF) office, she decided to move to NYC. Now they’re both happily in NYC!

“Christopher is the most patient man I know! The last few years have been anything but predictable, and I'm so lucky he's been by my side during all the unexpected moves,” Melissa said.
