Part Two Celebration: August 7th 2021

It all started a few years back when I took family photos for Andrea. She had been the teaching pro at Interlachen for years and was now at Olympic Hills, so we bonded over our mutual love of golf. We talked about Pebble Beach being one of her favorite places and how it was on my bucket list. Then when Dan popped the question, I got the very excited call that they wanted me to join them for their dream wedding at none other than Pebble Beach. Unfortunately, their initial plans had to be put on hold and my dear friend and incredible colleague, Jeff Dose, stepped in to photograph their sweet “I Do Day” at their home. It was one of those perfect days with the perfect couple.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Jeff and I flew out to meet Andrea, Dan, and their family and friends at the legendary Pebble Beach to finally have the dream wedding they’ve been waiting for. We were welcomed by a cool ocean breeze and a heavy layer of fog that made the course seamlessly transition from rolling green hills into the rolling blue waves of the Pacific. They pulled out all the stops and made sure their guests had the full three day wedding experience they had dreamed about. We started with a fun welcome dinner at The Lodge at Pebble Beach filled with drinks, dancing, and some beautiful ocean mist that I just couldn’t resist. Then on Saturday, everyone gathered to witness a touching renewal of vows overlooking both the course and the ocean at the stunning Monterey Peninsula Country Club Beach House. This day was all about their friends and family and finally getting to celebrate together. After the ceremony and a beachside stroll along the famous rocky coastline, we gathered for dinner in a perfectly decorated room ready to welcome excited guests. The toasts were a testament to this amazing couple. Andrea talked about falling in love with Dan because she got to see him be an amazing father and Dan’s children were overjoyed that their dad got to fall in love twice. “Who gets two love stories?” This amazing couple deserves every sweet word that was said and we all couldn’t be happier for them to continue their love story. Thank you for inviting Jeff and I along for this wild ride, we’re truly honored.
