If you look back at Cassie + Dustin’s engagement photos, it’ll be quite obvious how the wedding would go.  They’re young and in love and have a lot of personality to top things off.  When it came time for the wedding, it was even better than we expected, probably because there was just so much excitement and buzz going around.  Great couple plus great families plus great venue plus great decor equals Zelo Photography‘s favorite kind of math! (or some sort of clever remark about this plus that equals this, I dunno, lol).

Anyway, the wedding took place at San Diego’s Japanese Friendship Garden down in the lower garden next to Balboa Park.  We’ve been there a couple times since that whole remodel has been completed and it’s really amazing.  It’s like you’re in this lush green valley of serenity.  We did some photos up in the Balboa Park area but most of the awesomeness took place down in the lower area of Japanese Friendship Garden.

Sometimes you don’t get all the time you wish you could have prior to the wedding to break in your wedding shoes….THANKFULLY ice exists to take care of the problem, haha!   Cassie was a trooper and a great sport for letting us snap the priceless moments while we waited for the Ketubah signing to get going  🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cassie’s dad was ready to go in case we needed to call for backup, lol!  I mean, he’s using Nikon, but we’ll let it slide this once  🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see from the ceremony photos above, and from the reception photos below, the florals and decor for this wedding were amazing!  Adorations Botanical Artistry did an amazing job!  Quite the setup, and of course it made a huge impression on us and the guests!

 

The Mighty Untouchables rocked the house as usual.  Every time we find out they’ll be providing the music we know it’s going to be a successful party.  Definitely one of the absolute best bands to keep your party going strong!

 

We hope you enjoyed the lovely photos from Cassie + Dustin’s wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden lower garden.  If you’re getting married at this amazing San Diego wedding venue, or know someone who is, please CONTACT US so we can check our availability and get the ball rolling!  We look forward to hearing from you soon!
