An outdoor wedding near a pristine pool and surrounded by California sunshine — what more could a betrothed couple ask for? Duo Brett and Danny met at the Hotel Palomar in San Diego, and they said their vows at the very same venue years later.

"I knew I was the photographer for them as soon as we met — I'm so glad they chose me to document their big day!" said photographer Derek Chad. "They met at [the hotel] in San Diego YEARS ago . . . so what better place to tie the knot?! These two are a blast and so are all of their friends and family. You can tell they have a huge support system of incredible people. By far, this was one of my favorite weddings to date."

It sure looks like it was one hell of a day for the happy pair. See the beautiful, moving photos ahead!
