Below is our inspired story for our Somewhere In Time themed shoot.

Time had seemed to always be a factor for Robert & Abigail  Waiting four years to pass as Robert finished college before they celebrated their union gave Abigail space to contemplate the concept of time. The two of them had always adored the movie, Somewhere in Time, and in a way felt lost in their own time warp as Abigail was older than her groom and seemed to have to wait for many milestones to pass. While they were apart she found solace in her three hounds. When it came time to propose, Robert surprised his bride to be by bending his knee and asking for her hand at the Victorian Styled Coronado Island Hotel where her family vacationed yearly. Abigail chose to weave the same classic and timeless but yet simple theme of time through their wedding nuptials.

Besides the dogs stealing the show..Alina Pizzano, of Pasadena, styled Sarah’s two wedding gowns and Sallye May of All That Jazz Design provided the stunning bridal feather fan done in a beautiful ivory in lieu of a bouquet during the reception. Abigail loved the idea of a gown for the ceremony and then one for the reception.

The bride and the groom loved the simplicity of white wicker on green lawns, the concept of time being valuable yet allusive, the styled Victorian/Edwardian imagery of the wardrobe from their favorite movie, and of course including their adorable pets in their wedding party.

The evening gloves Abigail chose to wear reminded her of the faded pictures of her own Grandmother’s wedding. The opera glasses, her gift to her bridesmaid, were a timeless keepsake of their favorite Broadway plays.

Sarah’s grandmother loved cameos so Sarah chose the bride and groom markers on the back of their chairs to be Cameos in memory of her. Many more meaningful traditions were included to remind their guests that time is precious and never to be wasted.
