Gorge Crest Winery Wedding – {Eric + Ashley}

gorge_crest_winery_wedding_01I’m seriously smitten with the photos from Eric + Ashley’s Pacific Northwest wedding!  I’ve know Ashley for a few years since she is the cousin of my best friend. We first met as bridesmaids in a wedding!  When she got engaged, I jumped on the chance to shoot her wedding!  They are based in Portland and opted to have their wedding on the Columbia Gorge, the Washington side with a killer view of Mt Hood!  The PNW has a special place in my heart since most of my family is located in this area!

Oh and this wedding was featured on Oh Lovely Day today! Woo!

Shout out to my awesome assistant Deann who shot many of the details – you rock!

Marian Bear Engagement Session – {Dianna + Michael}

 I was so excited to meet Dianna + Michael. They came to visit San Diego on a wedding planning trip all the way from New York!  They visited SD a few years back and fell in love with it.  Now they are getting married in Coronado next April!  They had some cute signs and ideas for pics!   san_diego_engagement_01 san_diego_engagement_02 san_diego_engagement_03 san_diego_engagement_04 san_diego_engagement_05 san_diego_engagement_06 san_diego_engagement_07 san_diego_engagement_08 san_diego_engagement_09 san_diego_engagement_10 san_diego_engagement_11 san_diego_engagement_12 san_diego_engagement_13

Calimesa Backyard Wedding – {Jonathan + Kristen}

backyard_wedding_01 Kristen & Jonathan were married at her parents home in Calimesa. It was hot. Like blistering hot. But it didn’t phase these two…nothing could get them down!  They had one of the sweetest first looks I’ve photographed.  Plus I always love when the night ends in sparklers. <3backyard_wedding_02 backyard_wedding_03 backyard_wedding_04 backyard_wedding_05 backyard_wedding_06 backyard_wedding_07 backyard_wedding_08 backyard_wedding_09 backyard_wedding_10 backyard_wedding_11 backyard_wedding_12 backyard_wedding_13 backyard_wedding_14 backyard_wedding_15 backyard_wedding_16 backyard_wedding_17 backyard_wedding_18 backyard_wedding_19 backyard_wedding_20 backyard_wedding_21

Thursday Club, Pt Loma Wedding – {James + Rebecca}

 

JThursday_club_wedding_01 Rebecca + James came to me just about 2 months before their wedding.  Their original photographer plans fell through – lucky me!  It was a hot & humid day in Pt Loma but nothing could wipe the smiles from these two!  James couldn’t stop staring at his beautiful wife!  I also had a first at this wedding, a Reggae Band! They were awesome! Thanks to Nicole at Most Organized Bride for keeping the day in line and introducing me to them!  xoJThursday_club_wedding_02 JThursday_club_wedding_03 JThursday_club_wedding_04 JThursday_club_wedding_05 JThursday_club_wedding_06 JThursday_club_wedding_07 JThursday_club_wedding_08 JThursday_club_wedding_09 JThursday_club_wedding_10 JThursday_club_wedding_11 JThursday_club_wedding_12 JThursday_club_wedding_13 JThursday_club_wedding_14 JThursday_club_wedding_15 JThursday_club_wedding_16 JThursday_club_wedding_17 JThursday_club_wedding_18 JThursday_club_wedding_19 JThursday_club_wedding_20 JThursday_club_wedding_21Ceremony & Reception: The Thursday Club
