Vanessa and Rene-Wedding, San Diego County
May 31, 2009.,

Last week Vanessa and Rene had a beautiful intimate wedding at a relative’s home in San Diego. I absolutely loved the bright colored theme Vanessa used as well as her retro vintage look and style.

A neighbor surprised Vanessa with these flowers. They were the most unique and beautiful flowers I have ever seen and they deserved to be photographed.

Vanessa told me that growing up she knew she wanted to get married on the same date her parents got married. So, on Saturday, May 23rd, (her parents anniversary), Vanessa and Rene also got married.

Vanessa chose to have their photos taken at Chicano Park which contains a large collection of colorful outdoor murals and sculptures dedicated to the cultural heritage of the Mexican American community.
