"In 2 more hours, I'll have a husband!"

Natalya was so excited when I walked into the bridal suite, the girls milling around in their adorable matching robes, the makeup artists working their magic with lashes and lipstick in the background.  Floating above it all in a serene cloud of excited calmness, Natalya smiled and hummed to herself as she arranged her jewelry and perfume, ready to slip into her gorgeous dress and walk towards Justin.

Justin is her college sweetheart.  Natalya is his first love.  Together, they're the type of couple that makes for a perfect romance- the kind you dream of having.  They care so much for each other, and it's obvious in the way they hold hands, smile into each other's eyes, and speak so certainly and tenderly of a future melded together.

Justin and Natalya had a dreamy wedding with a traditional ceremony at the historic Mission San Diego.  Natalya was both confirmed and celebrated her first communion at the mission, so it was the obvious choice for her wedding.  And what a beautiful backdrop it provided for the ceremony!

Bryan had the honor of videoing the wedding ceremony.  Here it is- we hope you enjoy it!

There is SO MUCH more to come tomorrow on the blog!  Check back for a peek at their gorgeous San Diego elegant casual reception at Bali Hai restaurant on Shelter Island!
