Erin + TJ were married at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, one of my favorite Orange County venues! These guys are an amazing couple with the cutest baby I have ever seen - so sweet and adorable! The wedding day was truly a reflection of their love and one awesome celebration. In the morning, TJ went surfing at San Onofre with his groomsmen to start the day off right. The couple got ready at the Laguna Cliffs, and then we headed to the beach to take advantage of the gorgeous California light. During the ring exchange at the ceremony, TJ surprised Erin with a diamond ring, and I just loved her reaction! They had the band the Tijuana Dogs play all night long, and the reception was an awesome party! The day was definitely filled with lots of laughter, happy tears, and joy.

Faith + Alex are sweet + adorable and have the most infectious smiles! We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year at one of our favorite spots in San Diego, the Darlington House!

Jordan + Josh’s amazing wedding at The Ocean Institute is in the Fall issue of The Knot!

We love Sandy + Dave! We had so much fun with them on their engagement session, and can’t wait to document their wedding this Saturday! Both Sandy + Dave are photographers themselves, so they were up for hiking in even the thickest grove of stinging nettles to get the shots - thanks again guys for being so awesome + we’ll see you this weekend!

Valerie + Jimmy are the sweetest couple, and we had such an amazing time at their wedding day. They were initially a bit worried about the chance of rain in the forecast, but the sun ended up shining through the rain clouds at just the right moments during the day for pictures! Valerie even made sure to get a polka dotted umbrella + rain boots just in case, and they ended up definitely coming in handy! They were married at the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Ana and held their reception at the Center Club in Costa Mesa, which is nestled between the performing arts center and Segerstrom Concert hall (love the architecture in that center!).  Here are just a few of my favorites….
