A few weeks back, Trent and I shot David and Carrie’s wedding at the San Diego Zoo. Yup, you heard me right! The ZOO! Carrie works at a vet and they both LOVE animals, so it was only fitting! Their day was filled with an awesome bridal party, photo-bombing giraffes, so much love, and so much FUN! Here is just a little peak into their day…
and while all of this girly-ness was happening……the boys were getting into trouble. Human bowling…..a nice photo…and obviously a tiger growl. Appropriate for the zoo, am I right?Then it was time for the first look!They wanted it to be in the middle of the zoo, right in the middle of the craziness. I loved it!
After their first look, we took the whole bridal party and took a stroll around the zoo!
And even found an empty bus…
and the giraffes!!! Pretty sure this guy in the back knew that he was in a photo shoot….
He is looking STRAIGHT at them! Haha! Loved this.
It was then time for their ceremony atop the treetop balcony while the sun was setting.So many smiles!They walked to the middle of the aisle to say their vows so that everyone could hear.I stole them away for just a few portraits while the sun finally set… couldn’t be the light on the treetop balcony!After the sun started to go down, we went inside the treetop balcony and Carrie and David did a Chinese Tea Ceremony with the rest of her family (and his as well!) Â I asked Carrie to describe it, “It honors all the family (starting from eldest to youngest) that has raised us by serving tea to them. At this time traditionally, chinese guests in attendance gift a red envelope of cash gift and/or jewelry. ” Such a cool thing to witness!After the sun went down, we took photos of Carrie and David doing a tradition in whichIn order to keep in character of the zoo…we had to get some fun photos with their masks..
I loved how they used them to make their entrances!
And then they danced the night away! Trent and I had SO much fun shooting your #isenanimalhouse wedding! It was AWESOME. Congrats Carrie and David!
