Seascape Beach Resort Wedding » Aptos, California

Love and basketball. Those two words perfectly sum up Jazmin and Kristin’s beautiful seaside wedding celebration last August. In their own words, “We met playing basketball. Well, actually, we met for the very first time when Kristin was playing basketball at Cal and Jazmin and her friend (then in 8th grade) shadowed Kristin and her best friend Leigh around campus for the day. It was sort of like, ‘A day in the life of a D1 basketball player.’ However, Kristin doesn't remember Jazmin at all from that encounter (even though she sometimes tries to lie and say she does). We reconnected later playing in basketball leagues/tournaments in the Bay Area and started dating right before Jazmin left for law school in 2010.” They dated for eight years before Kristin popped the question on Jazmin’s 30th birthday.

These two self described “most competitive, self-driven best friends you'll ever meet” chose the beautiful Seascape Resort in Aptos for their grand celebration. Kristin and Jazmin got ready separately with their wedding party before meeting up for their first look and group portraits. Afterwards, we headed over to the ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean where their dads walked them down the aisle and their good friend (and Kristin’s former teammate) Sarah officiated. The overcast day finally gave way to some sunshine as they kissed and recessed back down the aisle before joining their guests for a cocktail hour on the lawn. As everyone move indoors for their dinner reception, they were greeted by decor that reflected Kristin and Jazmin’s lives together and their rival alma maters (UC Berkeley and Stanford) were represented. We snuck out during dinner to capture some portraits with the last bits of sunset down on the beach. The evening continued on with some hilarious toasts and donuts and churros before the dance floor opened up for an epic dance party that went well on into the night.
