Wedding: Anthony & Holli | Hotel Solamar, CA | Christ Episcopal Church, Coronado, CA | The Ultimate Skybox, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | San Diego, CA Wedding Photographer

I just LOVED celebrating Anthony and Holli on their wedding day. I met Holli earlier this year and after our consultation, I knew that this was going to be a fun wedding to be a part of. In the wedding world, it’s the season of pastels and rustic chic. Anthony and Holli veared off that path and brought pops of color and a Spanish vibe into their big day. I loved Holli’s vibrant bouquet, the royal blue accent colors, and the surprise mariachi band that serenaded the guests throughout the night. My favorite thing about Holli is her effortless ability to be unique. She puts her own spin on things and they turn out great. For example, rather then a bouquet toss, Holli had a piñata. She filled it with Victoria Secret gift cards, lip gloss, nail polish, and a whole bunch of girly prizes. The women in the crowd LOVED taking turns hitting the piñata and it was so enjoyable to photograph and watch from the sideline. I also liked that these two tied the knot in a beautiful, timeless church and then ended their night in a modern hotel that overlooked downtown San Diego. Two different feels that worked so well within their timeline and setting. Everything they did was outside of the box which made for the ultimate celebration for the vendors and guests. Anthony and Holli are such a sweet pair and I felt honored to be able to witness and capture the adoration that they share toward one another. Congrats Anthony and Holli!

Her mom’s reaction was priceless! Holli wasn’t even ready and her mom was already in tears!

So glamorous! 

Can we just take a second to appreciate this bouquet? It’s just so amazing!

Flawless!! 

Holli, you’re gorgeous. I’m in love with these shots!

It must be nice to be a boy. You get ready in minutes and then you get to use your spare time to have some fun!

We then headed to Coronado where Anthony and Holli had their first look.

How fairytale-like is this church?

The fab four. What a great group! 

How fun are these details? I’m in love with all the color!! 

Holli bedazzled every bottle. She’s so crafty! 

I loved the balcony that overlooked downtown SD. Such a fun area for the guests! 

They surprised their guest with a mariachi band! 

I loved that they had various food stations for dinner.
Each corner had a different option and it was cooked right in front of you.

They provided sandals so that the ladies could kick of their heels!

This was such a fun dance floor! It was never empty. I love that!

Here is the piñata I was talking about. Holli took out the bouquet toss and let the girls work for their prizes. This was awesome! 

This party never stopped and it just kept getting better with time!
