Meagan and Taylor wedding at The Handlery Hotel in San Diego

I consider it a blessing if you get to be in one wedding in your lifetime. If you’re lucky, you get invited to a few others. If you’re really lucky, you get to attend ridiculously fun weddings like this one. Meagan and Taylor’s wedding at The Handlery Hotel was in-sane, in the best possible way.

I hope everyone looking at these photos can feel the love and happiness that we witnessed that day. A wedding is always about the union of a couple, but Meagan and Taylor made theirs bigger somehow. Every person there, whether they were a relative, friend, or some rando at the pool, felt like they were family. Everyone came together, as one, to celebrate this amazing couple.

I remember stopping, more than a few times that day, and thinking to myself… this is awesome.

When you get to the reception shots, take a look at how many people are on the dance floor with Meagan and Taylor. It was stuffed to the gills all night long. Everyone just wanted to be near them, having the time of their lives.

Taylor and his boys have been saving this bottle for a special occasion. After all, it’s not every day that you celebrate Mr. Jacks 160th birthday, or your best friends wedding.

normally, we like to stash everyone out of sight for the couple’s first look, but we just had to let Meagan and Taylor’s moms see this awesome moment.

I haven’t done this myself (yet), but I can imagine the rush of emotions that go through a father’s heart when he walks his daughter down the aisle. It’s definitely a major life moment.

The rings were kept secret, and kept safe, but something happened then the rings did not intend… they abandoned Rhys.

I can’t talk about Meagan and Taylor’s wedding without the words family and fun. I love vintage wedding photos, and I love that Meagan and Taylor worked their parent’s wedding photos into their own. Someday this will be a double vintage photo. Bonus!

These are just perfect! I’m in love with her shoes! So much love and fun in these pics!

Beautiful pictures Ohana! Simply beautiful.

Great work. Love how some of the simplest shots are the most intimate.

So much love and emotion in these photographs – what an awesome couple and of course an awesome photographer!

You can really see and feel how much everyone here loves this couple. Looked like an amazingly fun wedding beautifully captured!

These are seriously beautiful. I love how small and intimate the wedding is and how everything was documented. :) Love the Tequila father daughter dance!

I’ve always loved how you make everything personal and how you just capture every detail beautifully. I’m especially drawn to the image of the girls shoes/feet. Something about it. Well done all around gorgeous.

The captures of the bride are coming through with a striking delicate beauty. I would think every bride would love to be showcased in such a way as you have done with these images.

How you always get the fun and uber gorgeous couples I will never know! I love how everyone’s turnt up at the reception!

SO Beautiful, all the photos, the place, the decor, her dress, everything!

What an incredibly awesome wedding! Love the way you guys captured it! :)

Some great shots to capture their special day and their soul. You really can feel their love in these shots.

Love the reception pics so much! Fun all around! Also, is it totally weird for a hetero girl to want to see that skinny picture on top? It looks like it came out so cute!

Can I just say I’m in love with her and her bridesmaid’s lavender hair!? Lots of laughter and tears in these pics! We did the time warp for our first dance haha! Gotta love non-traditional weddings!

The love and joy is just pouring out of every image. I could just scroll up and down and up and down and up and down. You guys rocked it!

They must be thrilled with these! This wedding looked like a killer time was had by all! I wish my wedding was this fun, oh and that I also looked that amazing in my dress =] She is stunning. Wonderful job once again!

These photos are awesome! I love the emotion you captured. Keep up the good work!

This deserves lots of high fives! Lots of great photos that capture how much fun they all had!

So beautiful! Some gorgeous, tender moments captured here.

I love how you can see how much fun everyone is having. Perfect memories to last a lifetime. Would be perfect in a book to share with generations to come. Simply wonderful photos.

I love all the fun portraits, everyone looks so happy! I especially like the one with the groom and I’m guessing his mom? That one just makes me smile. Definitely more fun and emotional than your typical portrait. I love your photography. :]

The cake smash! Epic!

So perfect. Love it all.

Love the pictures of their parents weddings! So sweet. Your reception pics are awesome :)

So many shenanigans going on from the start of the day to finish! Great captures of all the emotion from the day! Beautifully photographed (=

After reading your Do I have something on my face post, it’s obvious your couples are a representation of how you guys are. Fun and easygoing. This wedding seems like that is exactly was. Brilliant.

Came over from Off Beat Bride and spent about 2 hours on your site. You have an amazingly fun photography style! You have a lot of amazing weddings, but my fav is your Halloween wedding. The costumes were crazy!

OMG I want to know these people and be friends with them! You can tell in the portraits that these guys have nothing but fun with each other. Love it!

Ok the bride with her hands up in the air dancing made me smile so big! Love it!

I looove her shoes and dress! Wow! Beautiful couple!

So much fun, emotion and beauty captured!
