A SWANKY WEDDING IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO / ANNIE AND MARK

Boys and girls, this swanky wedding has the market cornered on gorge. Married at St. Joseph Cathedral in San Diego, Annie and Mark’s big day’s killer style has everything to do with our gorgeous bride.

Our stunning bride slayed in her curve-hugging Elise wedding dress, and her groom rocked a grey tux. So sharp, just like the rest of their day. The best part of their whole day? The sweetness between these two. Check out the captures of them loving each other below and you’ll see exactly what we mean!

The ceremony was held at the magnificent St Joseph Cathedral.

The overall purpose of marriage preparation with the community of the Church is to assist you in evaluating your readiness to live the married life, which, between two baptized persons, is a Sacrament. The primary purpose of the Church’s efforts is not to teach you how to be married, but rather, to help you better understand yourselves, as well as your commitment to living this vocation. Likewise, the Church needs to emphasize how important you as a married couple are to the life of the church. In order to assist you in making the best possible decisions regarding your marriage and to help you prepare well for this Sacrament, the Church provides guidelines and instructions. What follows are the pertinent guidelines and other items of information that will be helpful to you as you prepare for your marriage. (These guidelines follow the norms that have been established through the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego).

The beautiful thing about about our small downtown, here in San Diego, is that the best locations are right around the corner. After ceremony we headed over to Balboa Park.

After about 45min at Balboa Park it was time to head to the reception at El Cortez. The esteemed Don Room and Terrace is the perfect choice for your special event.
