Photographing Weddings at Harbor Lights

Harbor Lights has a lighter, more open feeling than many venues along the coast. The lawn and the bay views make the whole day feel connected to the water.

When I photograph weddings here, the setting often encourages a more relaxed pace. That change in tone comes through clearly in the photographs.
