Wedding: RJ & Chanel | Hotel Del Coronado, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | Upland, CA Photographer

This was one of my most anticipated weddings of the year! Photographing a wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado has always been a dream of mine. Coronado is one of my all time favorite places. I was so excited when Chanel contacted me and let me know that they were going to tie the knot on the famous Windsor Lawn. RJ and Chanel’s wedding day is magazine worthy from start to finish. I loved the champagne color scheme, the seaside bridesmaid dresses, and the gorgeous florals that surrounded every event. It was a photographers dream to be a part of this day. To make our job even sweeter, we were blessed with the best bride and groom. These two always make a conscious effort to make those around them feel loved and cared for. Whether you’re family, friends, or even a vendor, you felt appreciated. Their love for one another is filled with pure admiration, respect, and joy. It was so much fun to capture and their special day will go down as one of my all time favorite weddings. Congrats RJ and Chanel!
