Incredible Monterey Beach Wedding -- Jonalyn and Joseph

I really do not control the weather, but like to think I do. It had been a wonderful sunny day for Jonalyn and Joseph's wedding on the beach in Monterey. During the reception at a nearby resort/spa, clouds came in and the sunset photos we had wanted to take did not seem to be a possibility. I checked a few times and no sunset. As it got closer to dusk I decided to give it one more look and there is was, an opening in the clouds, I rushed back inside, got Anastasia and Jonalyn and Joseph, and we had our sunset photo, this was such great fun.

The ceremony was on the beach, it was beautiful, I love the clouds. In the other direction the clouds which later came in over the area were making their way toward us, but not at the ceremony.

I have to say the officiant was really into the wedding, he was very colorful, I have never seen someone perform a wedding in a Hawaii shirt, but Jonaly and Joseph love all things Hawaii (almost got married there) so it makes perfect sense.

I knew as we were setting up a photo of the whole bridal party they wanted to jump, who am I to say no?

I never really understood the phrase "the smell of money" until I got closer to them after the money dance. They really had money all over them. It was a lot, and I really appreciate the effort their family put into the folding and placement.

The kids were great dancers, and they wanted to make sure I saw them to get their photo.

Congratulations!!! to Jonalyn and Joseph!!!
