Oh my goodness!!! You guys are going to LOVVVVVVVVE this wedding!!! đ First, it was right on the pacific coast in Rachos Palos Verdes, California. Second, these twoâŠ.well, theyâre just about the best youâll ever encounter. The love and honor and JOY from this day is unbeatable. And besidesâŠit was a BEAUTY-full day!!
Since this was a bit of a destination wedding, the wedding party and familyâs all stayed down the road at the Terranea Resort. If youâre ever in the area, I highly recommend it! It was amazing. The bridesmaids were able to hang out in one of the casitas, and get lunch and hair and make up done.
Then we headed down the road to the
Trump National Golf Course so Jill could get ready on site. LOVE this venue!! They were incredible to work with!
Meanwhile, back at the Terranea, Peter and the boys were getting ready as well.
That pin on Peterâs lapelâŠitâs from his grandpaâs navy days. Pretty cool.
Peterâs older brother Jim(my) was his best man, and that pic on the right is so effortlessly them. Love it. Ha!!Â
I LOVVVVE this groomsmen pic. Something about itâŠ.
Jill made the mosssst gorgeous bride!Â
JILL!!! YOU are STUNNING, my friend!!Â
The girls!! <3
And the little girls! Oh.my.heart. These three are precious!!Â
I adore Jillâs parents. Really loved getting to be a fly on the wall for these moments. They gave Jill a new Bible inscribed with her married name and a hankie made with the lace from her mamaâs wedding dress.Â
And Peterâs folks! Let me tell you, Peter is equally blessed with amazing parents. AlsoâŠhow cool is that ceiling!?
And thenâŠit was ceremony time!! đ Check out the guest on the right with her jaw-dropped stareâŠIâm pretty sure thatâs how EVERYONE felt upon seeing these adorable girls in their dresses.
This never gets old. <3
And this right here just might be my favorite hand-off moment EVER. Like EVERRRR.
They began their ceremony with prayer and a time of worship. Oh, and Jill & Peter, please frame this black and white on the leftâŠmmmkay?
Their day and their relationship has lots of this:Â
MARRIEDDDDD!!!! đ
I love these people!
And then we took the last few minutes of sun and grabbed some freshly married portraits.
Check out this gorgeous reception!
Jill & Peter, I canât even begin to express what an amazing treasure it was for me to get to be a part of your wedding day! I have no words. Love you both!! XO!!Â

Peter & Jill
How did the two of you meet?
P & J: We met in college in San Dimas, CA
What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?
P: The moment when I saw Jill turn the corner with her dad. She was breathtaking and it was juts amazing.
J: My favorite memory was when we said our vows to each other during the ceremony. The day flew by, but it felt like time slowed down during those few wonderful minutes!
Funniest memory?
P: Yes â a hilariously inappropriate comment that I canât mention here đ
J: When I went to toss my bouquet, I accidentally threw it into the chandelier right above meâŠbut I caught it when it came back down! Ha!
Favorite Detail?
P:Â I loved our venue. Having the ocean in the background was beautiful.
J:Â I have several favorite details; our ceremony arches and the ocean view, my flower girl dresses, the romantic candlelight and glitzy tables at our reception, the jazz band at our reception, how sharp our wedding party looked, the overall feel of our ceremony which was both spiritual and beautiful to name a few. đ Â I loved our wedding!
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?
P:Â No not a thing!
J:Â My hair and makeup didnât look exactly how I wanted it too. It didnât look bad, but I could have done a better job of communicating what I wanted if Iâd used pictures and such. Câest la vie!
Any advice for future brides/grooms?
P: Yes! Just have fun. The day of the wedding, donât let anything bother you. Donât worry about things going wrong or details that youâve been planning. On the day of the wedding, just picture your bride and enjoy every moment.
J: Do your best to stay on target with your planning timeline! The tasks can seem overwhelming, but the more planning you can get done well in advance, the better. Youâll be so glad when the wedding month/week arrives if youâve already taken care of thank you cards, writing your vows, thinking through where family/friends from out of town will stay, and any other tasks/decisions you donât want to have to think about when the big day is upon you!
Tell me about your honeymoon.
P: We went to Australia and had so much fun. A week on the beach by the barrier reef and a week in Sydney enjoying the sites of the city was exactly what we needed.Â
J:Â Our honeymoon was completely and utterly dreamy! Peter surprised me with a trip to Australia, where we spent a week relaxing by the pool and a week sightseeing. It was perfect. The best two weeks of my entire life!
