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!

Melissa + David are the sweetest couple you will ever meet, and these high school sweethearts had one amazing wedding celebration at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego! They had so many lovely details, many of them handmade, that created such a fun, happy environment. Bright pops of greens and yellow were found everywhere, and there were so many lovely details that they could of had a blog post of their own - from the striped green paper straws that said “drink and be married!”, to the fun croquet field, the succulent favors and name displays, the amazing hand made bunting flags, and hand painted signs…! They even created the awesome green, yellow, and white cake display and photo booth wall themselves from salvaged wood. Amorology did an amazing job coordinating the days events and setting up all the lovely details - they are simply the best at what they do! The day unfolded beautifully, and The Flashdance kept the party going all evening long!

I can’t help but smile looking through Jordana + Mike’s wedding. These two are unbelievably in love and such amazing people. We met with them a year and a half before their wedding date, and had been waiting forever to document their wedding day! Their ceremony and reception was held at the lovely Darlington House in La Jolla, and the couple did so many of the design elements themselves, from collecting all the vintage bottles for the table centerpieces to creating the look of amazing dessert display, complete with candy and cannolis and a variety of cakes! Jordana’s dress was one of Monique Lhuillier’s first lace dress designs! Her awesome purple shoes are Steve Maddens. The day could not have been more perfect…good food and good company and lots of dancing! Jordana + Mike started the dancing off with an awesome choreographed salsa dance that they had been working on for months….and they were amazing! Congrats again Jordana + Mike…we love you guys!

Shay + Scott are some of the most beautiful people inside and out. They are the rare kind of people where when you meet them, you instantly feel at home with them…and their wedding was filled with equally warm friends and family and wedding details with very personal touches, from the vintage wedding toppers from their grandparent’s wedding to Shay’s hand sewn invites, pillows, and escort cards! I loved the vintage stickers and the soft look of all the pink peonies and her killer Louboutin shoes! Shay’s dress was by Monique Lhuillier and make-up and hair by Teresa Piazza. We started the day at the Hotel del Coronado, and then headed to the Coronado Naval base and Breakers Beach for the ceremony and reception. We had so much fun at their wedding…lets just say that their crew knew how to dance! DJ Cody from Feet First kept the dancing going for hours! At the end of the night, guests were treated to some TABE, a delicious bbq + taco catering truck in San Diego. An awesome sparkler send off was the perfect ending to an amazing evening!

Isaac and I had so much fun exploring a gorgeous nature area where Marci + Eddie ride mountain bikes and walk together. Gorgeous light + an amazing, creative and totally in love couple + a giant orange balloon = the perfect afternoon photography session!
