Real Wedding: Yvonne & Shawn

We’re swooning over this downtown scene! Bridal prep at the Hotel Indigo, an intimate ceremony and reception at Luce Loft, and fresh fish tacos by Casanova make this San Diego real wedding an urban bride’s dream!

These DIY mavens are entirely responsible for the amazing decor throughout the venue, including the place card holder string art and the BEBE sign. Bebe was the name Yvonne and Shawn gave each other early in their courtship and it just stuck! This creative couple definitely took DIY to a professional level with the thought and style of all the details, and Nhu Muon from Lumiani Events ensured not one thing was out of place.

Another unique element of this downtown wedding was the food. It may come as a surprise that a chef with a discerning palate (Yvonne) would choose fish tacos for her wedding menu! Casanova, the caterer of choice, served up delicious fresh fish tacos. Wedding guests loved the unconventional menu and Baja flare!

The super cute photog duo Joey and April of Half Full Photography shot Yvonne and Shawn’s Big Day. Choosing a photographer is a big decision, and you want to ensure they’re a good fit for you (and you, for them). Joey and April are all about doing things differently so you have the photos you absolutely want from your wedding day. Make sure you’re comfortable rocking it in front of your camera man (or woman)! And even better, your photogs should be people you want to share a meal with, meet for coffee, go on a hike…take on vacation! They should make you laugh and help you relax on your wedding day.
