Brandi + Mike were married on a warm summer day near the San Diego Bay Harbor. Their love for sailing & boats was apparent in their nautical-themed reception at the Bali Hai Restaurant’s outdoor wedding venue. As their sailboat sat docked just outside their reception, at nights-end, they sailed away with a warm goodbye from all of their guests (I wasn’t able to capture this but hopefully will post a photo at the end!).   Mike also proposed to Brandi on his sailboat, and, you guessed it, we also had their epic engagement session on their boat {see here}.

I have only sweet and amazing things to say about Brandi and Mike and I consider myself very lucky to have captured their love story… Their first look, Mike’s bow-tie, her dress, their amazing friends and family, and a vendor team that made the day impeccable… everything was perfect.

Thank you Mike and Brandi for trusting me to be by your side and to document your epic wedding day! xoxo, Patty
