WHO: Shelley & Nolan Mopia
WHAT: Wedding
WHEN: May 15, 2010
WHERE: Immaculata Parish / Bahia Resort Hotel
I've known Shelley and Nolan for awhile and when they asked me to be a part of their wedding, I was excited! This was my first time working side by side with some awesome vendors.
We started off at The Immaculata Parish in USD. Beautiful Catholic Church with soaring ceilings, Spanish style architecture, mosaics, marble tile, and stained glass windows galore. I got a chance to work with Julie and Christine who are very professional and fun to work with. Ceremony went by smoothly as expected. One of the highlights of the ceremony was when after Shelley sent her prayers to Mother Mary, she and Nolan presented each of their mothers with a rose. Which I thought was very unique and a very heartfelt moment. Bridal party then proceeded to take pictures in Old Town San Diego. Which is a great venue to explore and take unique photos. Not to mention the best restaurants!
Reception took place at the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Bay San Diego. The Bahia is on a 14-acre peninsula so you are surrounded by water, warm sandy beaches, fabulous views, and best of all you get to experience San Diego's best weather. We got to work with Kristin who was very down to earth and super sweet. Shelley and Nolan had some surprises up their sleeves. Shelley surprised Nolan by singing, which she has never done in public before. Might I add, she was awesome! I'm certain no eye was dry that night. Shelley and Nolan are known for their dancing skills and being directors for 220 Second To None, which of course was on the agenda. Another surprise however, Shelley and Nolan was expecting 220 to perform, but the performers were the surprise. They had the alumni dance and perform performances that Shelley and Nolan choreographed throughout the years.
Fireworks blasted through the skies, nontraditional father/daughter mother/son performance, friends/family had the time of their lives......overall, working with Shelley and Nolan was the best I could have ever hoped for. A very sweet and laid back couple; and not to mention fantastic dancers!
