This session with Luke and Camelia was so fun! I loved getting to know and spend time with these two. We wandered around liberty station for the afternoon, chatting and getting to know each other, and I’m even more excited for their wedding next fall. Right of the bat, you can tell these two are an amazing fit for each other. They help and supported each other the whole day, and the shine of their love is so present in all of these sweet photos.

Yesterdays surprise proposal at 123 Farms was so sweet! Daniel and I had been planning for a few weeks and he did such a great job at surprising Nareline, she had no idea it was coming. 123 Farms was decked out in full Christmas decor and the lights were the perfect romantic back drop for a proposal. Under the twinkling Christmas lights, the love between these two shines. I am so grateful we got to work together on such a sweet and momentous moment, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Yesterday’s proposal was full of laughs! Kice and Madeline walked up to the spot we had arranged and I did my usual, waited till they passed and then slowly and quietly made my way to a spot behind a bush and started snapping. And then IMMEDIATELY Madeline spotted me and got weirded out. I felt so bad! I thought I had ruined it for Kice. But luckily he stayed calm and continued with his plan. I had planted a diet coke bottle (her fav) with a note in it asking her to marry him. Kice picked it up and gave it to her, and she was so shocked! Suddenly, I think the photographer made sense! :)

Hector and Alicyn’s day was truly one of the calmest and most chill days ever. This couple was so sweet and really focused on their love and the love they had for their families and their close friends. And the details of the day were amazing! The bride made her amazing dress, the groom wore a green custom linen suit, and they both looked so good! The dried flowers and neutral colors really blended with the gardens various environments.

Elopements are my favorite! They are short, sweet and full to the brim of big emotions. Jorgette and Keith’s elopement was no exception! It was a beautiful afternoon on the cliffs of La Jolla, with the perfect amount of cloud cover to keep everyone cool, but still allowing the sun to shine through. This sweet couple focused on not only their love but the love of their family, and the melding of the those two was so important. We kept my time with the couple short and sweet and I am so thrilled with how everything came out.

Yesterday’s elopement with John and Nicole at the Cape Rey in Carlsbad was so sweet, I had such a hard time narrowing down the images to share for this one. This was a second marriage for these two and they made it all about love and having a good time ! Although it was a small elopement with just the two of them, Nicole made sure the day had all the elements of a wedding she didn’t want to miss out on. We did a sweet first look at the hotel, a toast to the couple in the sand, a first dance in the waves, cupcake to share and smashing a glass to seal the wedding. It was the perfect day for the perfect couple and once again I am so lucky to work with such amazing people.

Saturday’s wedding at the Faculty center of UCSD was pure perfection! Kevin and Danielle and their friends and family, celebrated their love under clear blue skies. I loved all the details of their day, and all the pops of bright summer colors. I also loved that we got to take the time to head over to the Gliderport to get some amazing shots of this sweet couple with a stunning view of Torrey pines behind them, thank you for trusting me and being up for the adventure! It was such a lovely day, that really focused on their family and friends and celebrating with them.

Yesterday’s surprise proposal at the La Jolla Gliderport was so sweet! Alvin and I were planning it for weeks, and it came out beautifully! Brenda was so surprised, I love when that happens ! The pure joy, and love between these two was palpable. I’m also so glad in was a breezy day, with all the amazing gliders flying behind these two, it was so magical. You can see the love and magic in all their images.

Yesterday’s Session in Del Mar with Kevin and Danielle was so sweet! I love getting to hang with my couples, and this session was no exception. These two are getting married later this month and I am so so excited! Even though it was a crazy busy day at the beach we still managed to find some beautiful quiet spots for these to to cuddle in. With their wedding coming up, we managed to squish in their session so that we could get some practice in, and they killed it!

Yesterdays session with Alicyn and Hector was so sweet. The coastal fog had rolled in to our locations but these two didn’t let it get them down. They rolled with it, and their kind and sweet love shone through in every image I took. This was their old stomping grounds so I loved that they were down to head to their favorite brewery last minute. We made our way there to get a beer in one of their favorite spots, when our oceanfront dreams were dashed by cloud cover.

Yesterdays elopement with Ricardo and Natalie was I think the hottest session I’ve done in a long time. Temperature and vibes! Over 111 degrees and these two were such troupers, and so was all the friends and family who came to celebrate these two. Honestly looking at the photos you can barely tell that we all were melting just a tiny bit. I loved being able to be there to support these two on this amazing day, surrounded by love and the most unique back drop in the desert.

I am back and so excited that my first session I get to share this magnificent couple! Danny’s proposal to Nancy in La Jolla was so so stunning! The weather in La Jolla was perfection, La Jolla Beach and Tennis club never looked better, and these two were over the moon in love! I am so grateful that Danny reached out to me about his proposal, and that we were able to collaborate and bring his proposal dreams to life! After the big yes we ran down to the beach to dance in the sand, and on our way there the club offered the two love birds free drinks on the house.

Yesterdays proposal in La Jolla was perfection! Clear skies after a week of straight rain, full of big smiles and a few tears. David was very sneaky, somehow getting Madi to agree to come to the Gliderport. She knew something was up but couldn’t figure out why it was so important for them to get to the cliff side before dinner. And right as she was looking out at the ocean, he got down on his knee and asked her to marry him. It was so sweet and lovely, I truly can’t overstate how much I love proposals.

Buckle in for this one, because this weekend was a wild ride! We flew out to Cabo San Lucas for Monique and Nick’s wedding, and it was truly one of a kind. Monique found me through her brothers wedding, where I was the photographer. And since she knew I could handle her fun and rambunctious family then, she asked if I would be willing to come to Mexico to photograph her big day. And I said ummmmm 100% YES!!!

Jack and Laura had a perfect end to their summer. Jack planned an amazing dinner out in Cardiff by the Sea and a romantic walk on the beach, which turned into the biggest surprise for Laura. He got down on one knee and she said YES!!! So many happy tears and big smiles. And the sunset in Cardiff showed off as their back drop, the perfect end to a perfect day.

Yesterday was Conny and Peter’s wedding day, and it was stunning! When I say I had a hard time narrowing down sneak peaks you can believe me, there are still over 40 here! This amazing couple, along with all their friends and family, came into Encinitas to celebrate their big day. And the San Diego Botanic Gardens was the most luscious verdant backdrop for their day. Did everything go to plan? No, just like every wedding day. But these two shinned through the grey skies and unexpected short sprinkles and danced the night away surrounded by love. They rolled with everything and were such a joy to be with and photograph. You can see the how truly happy and joyful they are in every image!

Melissa and Mandy’s wedding yesterday was a lively family affair, with 130 of their guests actually being family! In fact their big day happened in a family home, with Melissa cousin being kind enough to open the doors to all their guests. These sweet loves brought their family all together with their friends, and celebrated their union in a big, shiny, bright and beautiful day. Every moment of their day was entirely focused on their love and the love the have for the ones around them, their kids, their families and their friends. It was truly a joy to witness and document their day, and I know their life moving forward together will be beautiful.

Saturdays wedding in Bird Rock was a dream! Stephanie and Andres got married on the cliffs at Bird Rock, in a family home, which was a one of a kind beauty. Stephanie and Andres said over and over how thankful they were to be able to do their wedding at Stephanie’s Dad’s home, it made it all so much more personal and intimate. And truly everyone felt so welcomed and comfortable.

Yesterdays maternity session with Sam and Justin was so sweet! I love when past couples come back, keep my connected with them as they go through life’s new phases. Getting to walk through the dating, engagement, wedding, and baby stages with this couple has been such a blessing, and I love how you can track that journey through images. These two are so excited for their little one to arrive, they are absolutely glowing.
