Holy matrimony, Batman! I have been chomping at the bit to blog Mari and Julian’s Grace Maralyn Estate wedding! To be honest, I must admit to being a little skeptical when I first heard they were planning a Batman/Disney Princess themed wedding. But when we showed up to capture their special day and saw how beautiful and amazing everything was, we set the atomic batteries to power and the turbines to speed for a wedding unlike anything we’ve shot before.

The attention to detail was unreal. From the Batman symbol being carefully placed in the center of flowers and on ties to the whimsical and fairy-like wedding dress, nothing had been overlooked or, perhaps more importantly, overdone. I could go on and on about all the amazing and unique pieces, but what really made this wedding so special was the love shared between Mari and Julian and their family and friends. They are, without a doubt, some of the most courteous, fun-loving, generous and thoughtful people I’ve ever met. Seriously. Oh, and they can THROW DOWN on the dance floor!

Both Mari and Julian are enlisted in the Air Force and hadn’t seen each other for weeks prior to the wedding, so it was no surprise when tears began to fall as Superman… er, I mean Mari’s dad, walked her down the aisle. 😉 From heartfelt vows and wedding party acrobatics to unbelievably complex choreographed dances and epic toasts, this was a wedding that just blew our minds. I think the video and photos speak for themselves, but it’d be remiss of me to not say that Mari and Julian are absolutely perfect for each other. Getting to spend the day with them was an honor and true joy. I hope that as you watch their video and peruse the photos, you get a sense of the true beauty, wonderful nerdy-ness and refreshing authenticity that made Mari and Julian’s special day so magical. As Cinderella so eloquently noted, “So this is love. This is what makes life divine!” Enjoy!
