Alex and Anthony’s love story is one of resilience and true connection. Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, their commitment never wavered. Anthony, a dedicated marine, was deployed far away just after they met. But their love prevailed, their love grew stronger, and they plotted a journey that led them to marriage and back into each other’s arms. As their wedding day approached, it felt like they were about to embark on a brand new life together, ready to conquer anything that came their way. Their wedding on the bay at Tower Beach Club in Mission Bay was filled with heartfelt moments and joy.
Magical Moments on the Water
Nestled on a peninsula in Mission Bay, Tower Beach Club provided the perfect setting for Alex and Anthony’s wedding on the bay. The venue, located right on the water, offered breathtaking views in all directions and created a romantic atmosphere. It was a hidden gem, an oasis of love surrounded by the tranquility of the water. During the day, we took advantage of the beautiful sun-drenched scenes around the venue, and we were fortunate enough to capture magical night portraits towards the end of the evening.
A First Look by the Water’s Edge
Before their guests arrived, Alex and Anthony shared a romantic First Look moment right by the water’s edge. As Anthony caught sight of Alex in her elegant gown, his eyes lit up with excitement and pure adoration. Unable to contain his joy, he immediately pulled her into an enthusiastic embrace, showering her with kisses. This sweet moment by the bay allowed us to capture the raw emotions and genuine connection they share and set the tone for the rest of the day’s festivities. Scheduling this First Look early in their timeline gave them the flexibility to have a relaxed portrait session prior to guests arriving, so they could spend more time with their loved one throughout the event.
A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Beach Vibes
Anthony looked dashing in a tan suit, wearing a white bow tie on a matching white shirt. The understated neutral tones complemented his military background and blended seamlessly with the sandy beach vibes of Mission Bay. Alex’s gown was a sight to behold, featuring an intricate flowing train that added a touch of elegance and whimsy. The bridesmaids stunned in vibrant blue dresses, while the groomsmen sported matching blue bow ties. The bouquets, filled with white and blue flowers, were tied with wide baby blue ribbons. The bright punch of blue perfectly captured the vibe of being on the water in the summertime, while the tan on the men linked the wardrobe to sandy San Diego. It was the perfect combination for beach elegance.
What A Day for a Wedding on the Bay
The couple began their celebration with a cocktail hour, wanting to spend time with their guests and reunite with friends and family they hadn’t seen in a while. They caught up with their nearest in the temperate August weather on the venue’s open-air deck overlooking the water. As the couple recessed down the aisle after saying their vows, their guests showered them with blue flower petals, creating a magical and vibrant scene on the bay.
Capturing Cherished Memories
As their dedicated photographer, I had the privilege of documenting every precious moment of Alex and Anthony’s special day. From the joyful anticipation of Alex and her bridesmaids getting ready in their custom robes to the heartfelt first look, all the way to their last dance of the night, I was there to capture every tear, smile, and laughter. Being on a stunning peninsula allowed us to capture breathtaking photos with scenic backgrounds in every direction. We took advantage of the setting sun, capturing radiant, sun-soaked portraits after their First Look. As the night set in, we ventured out on the venue’s waterfront deck lit by string lights for magical night portraits that truly captured the essence of their wedding on the bay.
A Lively Celebration of Love
The reception was a true reflection of Alex and Anthony’s vibrant personalities. Laughter filled the air as heartfelt toasts had everyone in stitches. They danced the night away, their smiles never fading, surrounded by loved ones. One moment, in particular, stood out: Alex’s touching dance with her father, a man with whom she shares an unbreakable bond. It was a celebration of love, family, and the start of a beautiful new chapter.
Alex and Anthony’s sweet and romantic wedding on the bay at Tower Beach Club was a day of pure magic. From the breathtaking scenery to the heartfelt moments, every element came together to create an unforgettable celebration of love. Congratulations to this remarkable couple as they embark on their journey as husband and wife, exemplifying the beauty and charm of a wedding on the bay.
