8,000 miles. That is how far Justin went to find his soul mate. They met while Justin was serving his overseas tour in Japan, and before he left to come back to the U.S., Aya promised to email everyday, and she kept her promise.

They were officially married 2 years ago, September 21st, 2007. Justin came ashore for 36 hours, and they were married. But on Saturday, joined by their families and a few closest friends, they had the wedding they had been waiting for.

Aya getting ready…

A quick outfit and hair change, and then off to the reception.

Aya and Justin had written thanks to their parents and family during the reception Justin read it in English and Aya read in Japanese. It was a very emotional and moving moment. I was more then just tearing up. So very nice.

After the reception ended, we headed down to La Jolla Cove

The slideshow is HERE.

Yesterday, I was in La Jolla shooting a wonderful intimate wedding at the Sheraton. I am off to Santa Barbara today, for another awesome wedding. I can’t wait! But I had to share just one of my favorite images from yesterday.

Happy Sunday everyone!!

And I couldn’t decide which I liked better…black and white or in color. What do you think?
