Vinscena & Sean : Married : Ultimate Skybox, San Diego, CA

I’ve been excited for this wedding for what feels like ever. Not just because it was 9.10.11 – the most popular wedding date of the year – but mostly because of their story. Two people raised with a strong faith in God, very close knit families and the good fortune of many lifelong friendships. It was a match made in heaven with only one minor difference, Sean was born and raised in Canada, Vinscena in California. Two completely different worlds at the start, but not for long. As his parents recollected about the day Sean moved to the US, with only a small duffle bag filled with mostly hockey gear, they were nervous. Little did they know, he’d meet a girl. A girl that would change him, make him a better person and help him build a new foundation with her, here.

Vinscena and Sean ooze style. But more than that, they are humble and real. It’s what I love most about them, individually and as a unit. Their wedding was classic and chic and easy. Just a big party to celebrate life and love and family. It was one of those perfect parties where you want to put your gear down, pretend like you’re old pals and dance the night away with the rest of the guests. Huge thanks to Marissa for being my right hand lady and to Jamie Renfro from The Ultimate Skybox for keeping the night flowing so easily. Thanks also to the talented people that contributed to such a great day. 😉

    You actually make it seem to be very easy using your presentation however to locate this trouble being genuinely something which I feel I would in no way fully grasp. It kind of feels far too intricate and very vast in my situation. I’m anticipating for the following post, I am going to aim to get the stick from it!

  • LollyAugust 11, 2014 - 4:53 pm

    You know what, I’m very much inicenld to agree.
