Max + Danit | Marina Del Rey Marriott

Nicole Goddard — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 04:54:46 +0000

May 29, 2010, Danit & Max were happily married on the stunning roof-top of the Marriott Hotel in Marina Dey Rey, California. We had a bright sunny day and it was all picture perfect.

From the rich, dark purple calla lily’s, the gorgeous floral chuppah, the ceremony timed at sunset ……… to the rockin’ DJ playlist, elegant designed table tops, and heart-felt toasts, this wedding was incredibly planned. The attention to fine detail made this day stunning and classy. And the best part — everyone had a blast! I mean, check out the crazy-fun dancing photos below. I think the photos will speak for themselves!

Thank you, Danit & Max, for including me in on your big day. I am so happy with how the photos turned out and I hope you enjoy them for an awesome lifetime to come!

Ashley & Clay {Wedding} Coronado, CA

On April 9, 2010, Ashley & Clay were happily married at the Coronado Community Center with all their closest friends and family. It was a beautiful event and day!

Ashley and her bridesmaids got ready at the picturesque Loews Hotel a few miles away from the wedding venue. They all looked STUNNING! After the sweet ceremony by well-spoken reverend, Holly Skinner, the wedding party and I hopped in the stretch limo and headed for the north-side of Coronado Island for San Diego cityscape photos and then to the sandy beach in front of Hotel Del Coronado.

The reception was absolutely lovely. Paul Bott with Paul Bott Gracious Entertainment was Ashley & Clay’s extraordinaire wedding planner. He did it ALL– from designing the pretty bouquets, arranging the table tops, setting the ceremony decor, to cooking ALL the yummy food (lobster and steak!) and making sure everything was flowing just as it should. I am always amazed by his talents and professionalism! The band, Tijuana Dogs, were also very talented and I would recommend them in a heartbeat– such fun music and not one bit cheesy. Phew!

And, a special thanks to my awesome photographer assistant, Kara Snider! Kara- you rock my wedding world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Congrats to Ashley & Clay. Thank you for allowing me to capture your wedding- I had a fabulous time doing so! I wish you two love and happiness forever.

Classic, Elegant & Simple | An Autumn, Seattle Wedding Celebration | Anne + Brian

Nicole Goddard — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:36:14 +0000

My first time meeting Brian, the groom, was minutes before he saw his stunning bride, Anne. He was calm, collective & cool; anticipating their first glance in front of the Alexis Hotel downtown Seattle. I set-up the first glance alongside the hotel making sure it was clear of people. I absolutely LOVE this moment. It’s a time when brides & grooms can have an intimate moment seeing each other for the very first time on their wedding day. They can exchange sweet, loving words and even have time to shed a few tears of joy during this once in a lifetime moment. And, during this, there aren’t 200 set of eyes of them, just me from afar with a long lens capturing every second. Anne and Brian’s expressions were transparent of the love they have for each other, not just during their first glance, but also throughout the entire day.

The rest of day unfolded beautifully, full of smiles & sunshine. It was brisk fall day, October 10, 2009. The autumn colors were beaming of reds, oranges and yellows which perfectly tied into the wedding day color scheme. We took the ‘formal’ shots of the wedding party near the Seattle iconic Kerry Park and met the family at the most beautiful Catholic Church called Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in the University District followed by their lovely ceremony. The reception was held at The Canal in Ballard! So much fun. A special thanks to Melissa Parker with Amazing Events and my amazing photography assistant, Amber Brickman.

Congrats Anne and Brian!! I had such awonderful time capturing your wedding.
