Seascape Resort Wedding Photography~Erin & Steve!

Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3353Erin and Steve left LA and drove up the coast of California looking for the perfect wedding venue. They had almost found one in Carmel but decided to keep heading north.  When they arrived at Seascape Resort they knew they really found the perfect place for their wedding! Erin and Steve are both lovers of nature and were blown away by the natural beauty surrounding Seascape Resort.  Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3313Erin got ready with the ladies while Steve got ready across the street at a private residence. I loved Erin’s dress- the bead work and also the contrasting wave-like frills on the bottom of the dress! Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3314Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3312Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling- ES Getting Ready-1019Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3319Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3316Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3317Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3318So sweet, Erin got Steve a special watch for him to wear. Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3315Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3320Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3321Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3322Over at the bluff, the sun was starting to peek out just at the perfect time!   Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3323Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3324Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3325Steve started off the procession…Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3326…followed by the Grandparents, Erin’s brother escorting their Mom and Steve’s parents. Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3327The wedding party…Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3328…and the Best Man escorting the Maid of Honor, Erin’s little sister.Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3329Next up was Steve’s neices, the sweetest and most giggly flower girls ever!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3330Here comes the beautiful bride, escorted by her proud stepfather!

Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling- ES family formals-1044The wedding party!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3347Surrounding Seascape Resort is a bluff lined with beautiful Cypress trees. Since moving here I have adored them and Erin immediately loved them too.  When I met with Erin the day before her wedding we made a plan to get on to that bluff to take some pictures! Coordinating with Greg via cell phone I was able to be shooting from the other side of the bluff. People may have thought we were nuts but the results were worth it!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3348Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3349I then scrambled up the hill and joined Erin and Steve on the bluff where we were all engulfed by sea reeds.  It was pretty incredible! Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3350Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3351Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3352Adventure bride!

This is Steve when he was younger in what seems to be a dance studio picture? Steve you did seem to have very good moves on the dance floor, it must have been all those dance classes.Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3369Last up was Steve’s dad who said he had roasted Steve enough over the years and took the opportunity to wish the newlyweds the best!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3370The sun was setting and we ran out to the beach to get some sunset shots.  The sunset itself was hiding behind a fog bank, so although we did not get the perfect sunset it was still really pretty! It’s always a gamble with that Northern California fog!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3371Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3372Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3373With minutes left of daylight to go, we headed to the train tracks.Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3374Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3375When we arrived back it was time for Erin and Steve to have a beautiful first dance. Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3376Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3377Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3378Erin then danced with her stepdad.Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3379Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3380Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3381The dance floor then opened up and the incredible Chris Cali from Cali Entertainment had the dance floor packed for the rest of the night!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3382Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3396Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3383Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3384Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3385This little sweetie wasn’t so sure about this!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3386Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3387Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3388Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3389Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3391Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3390I swear this wedding had the record for the cutest kids!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3392Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3393Why stop at cake when you can have cookies and cheesecake and taffy and chocolate covered strawberries and brownies and lemon bars and and and!!!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3394Erin and Steve cut their cake….Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3395…then Erin tossed the bouquet that was perfectly caught by little sis!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3397Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3398The crowd insisted on Toto’s “Africa”- everyone went nuts!Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3399Seascape Resort Wedding Photography Susannah Gill-Photographic Storytelling_3400Erin and Steve danced the night away and then headed off to Italy and Switzerland for their honeymoon!
