Nicole and Keith tie The KNOT! - Cottonwood Golf Course, El Cajon, Ca - Little Blue Bow Photography - Blue Bow Weddings -San Diego Engagement and Wedding Photographer -

I love when my past brides and grooms send me their engaged friends! This is the absolute best tip that I receive and having happy Blue Bow wedding clients is the greatest feeling in the world!
This is how I came to meet one of my wonderful September couples, Nicole and Keith! (Thank you Kristina and Chris for the awesome referral!)

We met at Nicole's favorite coffee house, Kaffee Meister in Santee, and chatted about their upcoming wedding at Cottonwood Golf Course.  Nicole shared her ideas of soft rustic details enhanced with purple hues and soft metallics.  Even with all her descriptions, it did not prepare me for just how gorgeous everything would come together.   
Their wedding was not only beautiful, but incredibly thought out with homemade details.  They saved money and had their flowers and wedding bouquets made by the florists at Vons, which turned out absolutely gorgeous!
At 30,000 feet in the air, their love story began.  On a flight to Vegas to watch the San Diego State basketball team play,  Keith struck up a conversation with the beautiful blonde sitting next to him.   Little did he know that she was also a huge sports fan and the rest is history!  Their love story is full of sporting events, fun with friends, a supportive family, one lucky puppy and an absolutely breathtaking DIY wedding.  

Take a look at some of my favorite moments from Nicole and Keith's wedding at Cottonwood Golf Club.

What a stunning diamond!

Nicole had all of her wedding flowers and bouquets made by Vons. Yes, Vons!  I was beyond  impressed.

Nicole, you belong in a magazine!

Nicole purchased her dress from BHLDN and had the staff at Sparrow Bridal add on removable sleeves.

I love how Keith's tie complemented the metallic touches throughout the wedding decor. So handsome!

Nicole designed every printed detail from their wedding.  Talk about a DIY bride!

Nicole and her mom made this wonderful arbor.  

One of my favorite reactions from the groom when he sees his bride walking down the aisle!

The sunset light at Cottonwood was amazing!

I love this emotion during their wedding slideshow.

Nicole follows a special diet and had a gluten free wedding cake made by Peace Pies in Ocean Beach.

Nicole and Keith, your love story may have begun in the air, but it's one of the most grounded loves I've witnessed.  You are the type of people that inspire others to look for love in the most unexpected places.  I'm honored to have been invited into your lives to capture your first day as husband and wife.  This is just the beginning for you two.  You have so many great things ahead...  
(By the way thank you Nicole, Kaffee Meister is now one of my favorite java joints too!)
