Veronica + Marcello: Old Whaling Station Adobe Wedding, Monterey – Part II

Welcome back!  Part II of Marcello and Veronica’s wedding is picking up right where we left off in Part I.  Their ceremony was held outdoors at the Old Whaling Station Adobe.  It was a beautiful day in Monterey and the details fit the location perfectly.  Anticipation was growing and they were so excited to see each other for the first time.  As the groomsmen and groom walked down the aisle and took their places, Marcello had his eyes glued onto where Veronica would be walking out.  She was all smiles walking down the aisle but her face lit up completely upon seeing the man she was about to marry.  I loved that about this couple.  That they expressed whatever they were feeling throughout the day and let themselves get lost in the special moments.

Their ceremony was a beautiful expression of who they are as a couple and their love for each other.

I always love capturing the moments right after the recessional.  Hugs, smiles, congratulations and tears.  And, in this case, Marcello checking out his new hardware on his left hand.

After family formals, we strolled around Monterey for their couple’s pictures.  It was a picture perfect day.

It doesn’t get any cuter than these two together.

We headed back to Old Whaling Station and it was time to start the reception.  A big thank you to Grapes of Wrath catering for providing such delicious food.

A beautiful first dance under strings of lights.

One of my favorite moments of the day.  I almost always tear up during the father-daughter dance.  And this one was no exception.

All smiles surrounded by friends and family.  The perfect way to end a beautiful wedding day.

One of my favorites!  🙂  A big thank you to Jana for second shooting this wedding with me and for this picture.  And V and Marcello, you guys are the absolute best.  xoxo.
