Wedding Wednesday: Brooke & Adam

4/22/16  |  Tamarack Beach, Carlsbad

This was a destination wedding. Brooke and Adam used to live in Carlsbad, but currently live in Washington state. They got married on the beach barefoot. They had six people in their bridal party from six different states. The couple had a trolley take people to the ceremony site and back to the reception so people could relax and not stress about parking. Their wedding had a laid back, beachy feel to it and the guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside on the patio as the sun was setting. Once the dancing started, they handed out glowstick necklaces and disposable cameras. The happy couple couldn't have asked for better weather or a better day. It was the best!
