You might remember their engagements on the USS Midway. From day one of meeting Marie and Joe we fell in love with them. They are creative, funny, delightful and spunky. He is Italian, she is Philipino. He is a pilot. She loves Star Wars and when I say loves, I mean LOVES. They both love animals. The entire wedding day successfully incorporated all of these elements to make an amazing celebration. Their wedding took place at the St. Gregory the Great Catholic church and the reception was held at the Zoofari place at the San Diego Zoo.
It was so fun to combine these two families together as they all were on the dance floor the ENTIRE time. Joe and Marie also opted to have a photobooth which was great fun for everyone especially after a couple of drinks.
And wait till you see how Star Wars kept showing up.
Joe and Marie – Thank you. We had such a FUN time with you and your family on your special day! You are an awesome couple and we still have an open dinner date with you!
To everyone else – enjoy!
These are seriously the most amazing shoes on a Bride I have seen – Michael Kors everyone and in animal print to go with the Zoo theme! She wore these things the ENTIRE day!
Going to the chapel and I’m gonna get ready…the dome in the reflection is the church where they got married.
Moments before the ceremony.
An amazing church with sunlight pouring over them at the alter – beautiful.
Yay!!!!
This was taken off of the Monkey trail… so fun.
Walking through the Zoo, so much fun.
And the reception begins – enter Star Wars…
The first dance was very special. It started out a slow dance, Bride and Groom enjoying the moment… when out of no where!!!
Darth Vader appears (Bride’s brother) Lightsabers are drawn and a battle begins.
The Bride gets in on the action as the Groom falls injured to the floor.
The Bride saves the day… Oh no… but wait – Darth Vader still lives….
The power of two becoming one – LOVE WINS!!!! It was an amazing show!
Then the Zoo brought in an animal show just for the wedding guests. the Joe and Marie had specially requested snakes.
The dancing was great, the party was fun and I could show more of those, but instead I would like to show some photobooth pictures to show you how much fun it is.
This little girl LOVED the photo booth. Adorable!
And this guy jumped in and started doing killer dance moves.
Yup, we got in there too. This is us doing our orangutan move from the Engagement shoot… or karate kid move…. or prowling tigers… open for interpretation.
Thanks again Joe and Marie – We had a BLAST!!!!
