So a couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a cute intimate little beach ceremony and reception at the St Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, CA. Both Rob and Sharyl wanted to have a laid back, calm and relaxing beach wedding with a little Tommy Bahama vibe to it.. This was definitely the theme for the day.. When Kristin and I got there every one was all dressed super relaxed and casual.. probably all mostly wearing Tommy Bahama. In fact everybody there kind of already had a calm and collected presence about them.. very refreshing contrast from the normal crazy and chaotic first impression we usually stumble into when everybody is getting ready for the big day 
It helps that the bridal party just consisted of Sharyl’s sister and Rob’s Dad and brothers.. It really sets the tone for the day.. Also it helps having an awesome coordinator who helps keep the vibe going.. Laurie Davies from Five Star Weddings did an awesome job coordinating the days events and was such a pleasure to work with!
Here are some shots from the day… I think you can really “feel” how tranquil the day really was..

I love this little guys posing it up like the big dogs..
There was an opportunity for everyone to just hang out before the ceremony at a little spot over looking the beach.. super fun place to just mellow out and check out the beautiful surroundings.. even drink some fresh lemondade
I love the intimate little beach ceremony set for about 30 people..
Rob’s brother is a professional mucisian and was playing a little jack for the ceremony..
The first look..
it was an awesome little ceremony with even more awesome light!!
I love the drift wood in these shots!! seriously we couldn’t have asked for better light for the theme we were shooting!! It was perfect!!
Then off to the reception for a little fun!
His and Her cakes since Rob doesnt eat cake they made one out of watermellon…
We had a great time and think the photos represent the couple perfectly and are very pleased with how they came out!! I cant wait to start making the album from this wedding!! Soo many more awesome photos then just the ones posted!!
