La Jolla Cove Family Portrait Photographer

This family was in town for a wedding and contacted me for some family portraits! What a great idea! They all live in different states so its rare they are all together. It was a blast especially since I got to capture the kiddo’s first sand experience! Enjoy

Katie and Mark – Balboa Park, La Jolla Cove Engagement Photographer

These two have a special place in my heart…mostly because they are family! Meet my cousin Mark and his gorgeous fiancee Katie! If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may recognize them from their proposal at Disneyland! They are tying the knot next year at Paradise Point and I couldn’t be more excited for them! I am shooting the wedding up until the reception and then I get to join in on the celebration!

Love you two!!

Brian and Sara – Immaculata and La Jolla Woman’s Club Wedding

I love that Sara admitted to me that she is a blog stalker In one of her emails to me pre-wedding, she wrote how she can’t believe her wedding is next up on the blog! Well, here it is Sara, I hope its everything you wanted and more.

For a refresher course, check out Brian and Sara’s fun engagement session here!

Once I took this photo, I knew it was going to become my favorite shoe shot to date. <3 It helps that Kate is just so pretty too…

And some details of her “something blue” and “something borrowed”

This is such a casual moment, but I love how Sara is glowing. She is so ready to go marry her college sweetheart!

All aboard the Party Bus!

When we pulled up to the Immaculata, we were welcomed by the bagpiping of Larry Samuels, what a treat!

And then down to La Jolla Cove for some more photos!

Fav #1 <3

Fav #2 <3 <3

After we galavanted around the Cove, it was up to the La Jolla Woman’s Club for the reception (and homemade cupcakes!)

Blingalicious!

The gorgeous florals were done by none other than fab coordinator Melissa Barrad!

And then on to Dance Party USA!

All the guests had some moves!

And of course, one of my favorite wedding treats…a photobooth by Red Cheese!

To finish off the night, the catering company Giuseppe’s Catering provided the guests with mini burgers and fries!

Okay, just one more favorite…

Shout out to the wonderful Melissa Barrad for making the day run as smooth as silk! You rock my dear!

And to my two lovely assistants, Gretchen and Mandi, coulnd’t have done it without you!

Brian and Sara – You better be having the time of your lives in Maui, I’m so jealous

Enjoy your Slideshow!

Jeremy and Jill – La Jolla Cove Engagement

Last week I met up with Jill and Jeremy at La Jolla Cove for their engagement session. The tide was super high so we didn’t get a ton of beach shots. But it was fun trying to avoid the waves!

Thanks to Courtney from After the Engagement for referring these two!

I loved hearing their story about being high school sweethearts who spent time apart and then their lives brought them back together!

Those eyes!!! I feel I need to mention, Jeremy has really nice eyes too! He was getting jealous that I was gushing over Jill’s eyes the whole time =P

These two are getting married in January! Best of luck on the rest of your wedding planning!

xoxo, M
