Day 4 of 12: Aqua wedding color inspiration

Wedding photos that incorporate the color aqua convey a feeling of relaxation and calmness, with a hint of excitement and beauty! From robin’s egg blue, to teal, to turquoise, there are a whole range of aqua blue shades… and we’re putting them all together in this blog! We’ve photographed a number of aqua-inspired weddings, and we love the way that the color pops in photos. 

You’ll see a few of our favorite aqua examples below, including the light aqua Don Julio Tequila bottle under a thatched-roof bar at a destination wedding in Turks and Caicos, and the electric aqua tank at the Birch Aquarium. And you can’t miss the deeper-toned aqua 1957 Chevy convertible, which was used to transport the bride and groom. What a ride!

How can you not love this happy and vibrant color? Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow, where we will debut our next wedding color – GOLD!

A modern style beach wedding with a cool, clean feel

For engaged couples looking for a beach side wedding venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum has proven itself again as an incredible spot to tie the knot. To Danielle and Chris, it was important to create a day that was meaningful and romantic. After listening to their personalized vows, watching the ocean wind blow the sheer draping on the Chuppah, and observing their love for each other on the dance floor, it was clear that romance was achieved!

We spoke with Danielle after their amazing celebration, and she filled us in on all the details. Take a look at what the beautiful bride had to say about her wedding, and feel free to let us know what you think!

From an aesthetic perspective, we wanted a style that was chic, clean and modern, but embraced the organic surroundings of the Scripps Seaside Forum.  We wanted our design elements to complement the setting without distracting from it, and to be a bold reflection of our personal styles. Our colors ended up being ivory and grey with highlights of tangerine.

Our flowers were all ivory with the exception of my bouquet and the flowers carried by the flower girls. We kept the flowers clean and bold by using groupings of single flower types rather than mixed bouquets. The bridesmaids and groomsmen dressed in chic grey, and we introduced pops of tangerine in the paper products and my bouquet.

Ahhh, the dress.  I adore that dress and wish I could wear it all the time! I’m not a princessy type but it’s hard to not feel glamorous in a dress like that.  The dress was Vera Wang, and the style is called Diana.  I love the simplicity of the fabric coupled with the architectural complexity of the dress’s construction.  It’s fairly fashion-forward and edgy (tons of asymmetry and rough edges) without losing the classic bridal elements (shape, color, material).  It really fit my style to a T.

Without question, my most memorable moment of the wedding day was exchanging vows with Chris.  We wrote our own vows, and hearing Chris express his love to me in front of our loved ones was the most moving moment of my life.  It was hard for either one of us to hold back tears, and to be honest I don’t really care that I was a sniffling mess.

It’s really tough to pick a favorite photo, but mine is possibly this one.  I love our giddily spontaneous post-ceremony kiss with the backdrop of our friends and family.  Fantastic moment captured!

Working with True Photography was a delightful experience, from the engagement photo shoot all the way through the wedding.  Michael put us completely at ease and captured all the action without feeling remotely obtrusive. The photo shoot portion of the day was really fun – our wedding party loved every minute of it! Everyone at True is so sweet and professional – great at their jobs and wonderful to interact with.  I love looking through all our photos and seeing how many of our friends and family were truly enjoying themselves at our wedding.  We can’t thank the entire team enough for providing us with a priceless set of memories of the most special day of our lives.

Romantic wedding celebration at the Seaside Forum

We caught up with Emily to recap her wedding to Paul at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in downtown San Diego. They followed  up the ceremony with a contemporary reception at the Scripps Forum. Check out a few of the images we captured of the gorgeous couple, and see what Emily had to say about their big day:

Meghan of True Photography: Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions about your wedding for our blog! I’m interested to know what was most important to you and Paul when planning your wedding?

Emily (Bride): We didn’t want our wedding to feel “typical” or manufactured. We wanted the focus to remain on marriage, the whole purpose of the day, and not to get lost on all the things that become insignificant once the event is over, like party favors and material things.

Meghan of True Photography: If you had to choose, what would you say was your most memorable moment from your wedding day?

Emily (Bride): Being at the altar. Ironically, that was when were all alone, just the two of us, up there with the priest. It was really surreal and special. All the hand squeezes and sideways glances that no one else could see or know about. That is special and still stands out to me.

Meghan of True Photography: You were such a beautiful bride and we absolutely loved photographing you and Paul. Can you tell us what your experience was like working with True Photography?

Emily (Bride): True Photography was great. If I could describe the experience I would say “easy and efficient”. We wanted to be able to enjoy a little bit of the cocktail hour with our guests, and Mike made that happen, without sacrificing photos we wanted. The pictures truly captured the essence of the event.
