The Sensational Perry House Wedding in Monterey, California | Andrew & Sophie

AGS Weddings

The more I photograph here in Monterey, California, the more I am in love with all the venues here. The Perry House in the downtown area has been on my little list for a while now to photograph and boy, did it not disappoint for this intimate Perry House wedding in Monterey California between Andrew and Sophia earlier this year!

Pre-Wedding

Andrew is really into hockey and loves the Sharks. He and Sophia met when they were working together at a bank. Andrew was smitten with her from the start! It takes courage to ask a pretty girl out like that and thank goodness he took the chance because they have been together ever since! Sophia said she waited a long time for him to ask and she’s so happy he did!

Sophia and Andrew were one of the first couples I photographed here in California as a local Monterey wedding photographer. I photographed their engagement session in downtown Monterey on Cannery Row. Monterey is one of their favorite spots and has always been their first choice to visit when doing a weekend trip. We photographed all up and down Cannery row and ended at the beach, possibly even in the water!

Wedding Day at Perry House

Throughout my time working with them I have come to know both Sophia and Andrew as being so incredibly kind. They always stayed in contact with me, updated me on their wedding choices, and asked my advice about things for their big day. I love it when the couples ask for help in making a timeline and selecting certain things for their day. The end goal for everyone is to make sure they have a stunning and memorable wedding.

When their big day finally arrived, I was really looking forward to it because I’d come to enjoy these two for a few reasons. Most importantly, you can’t tell who’s in love with who more! Every time one of them looks at the other, they both melt! Their first look was great. I had chills running up and down my arms! She surprised him with her amazing beauty! Their bridal party came to view and cheer them on. Sophia was so nervous that morning and wanted to make sure she looked absolutely perfect for Andrew.

The Perry House

The details of the day and their wedding venue were perfect for them. Sophia had handmade hankies made for the girls with their initials on them. Her bouquet was of all-metal brooches. She wore her mother’s handmade hanky. OH, and they had a choreographed dance! She didn’t even tell me! It took us all by surprise! I can’t imagine how long they’ve practiced!

The Perry House from a local Monterey wedding photographer’s perspective is quaint, cute, and very charming. It reminds me of the East Coast of southern charm homes but with this amazing Monterey Bay in front. They wanted to have a venue that overlooked Monterey and that’s exactly what they got. It was a perfect celebration for their intimate Perry House wedding in Monterey, California.

These two are absolutely best friends and I know their life together is going to be full of excitement and adventure! I can’t wait to see what life brings them next.
