Things look a little different around here?  What do you think?

This past Saturday was Tristen and Colin’s beautiful wedding at Rancho Buena Vista Adobe.  Its a 163 year old estate and it is so rustic and unique! 

When Tristen contacted me last year her name sounded so familiar.  I ended up asking her where she grew up and it turns out we went all the way from grade school to high school together!  She was a couple years younger than me, but we both remembered!  What a small world.

Claudia from Makeup by CJ came down to do Tristen’s makeup, she was the makeup artist at my wedding as well!

Something you can’t tell from the photos but Tristen is freaking hilarious!  She has such a funny sense of humor, she cracks me up!  I got some really funny poses out of her but decided to leave those for her own own! haha

Colin is a geographer so their head table had a map on it!  Love the intimate details!

I had so much fun at this wedding and I recognized so many faces, it could have been a school reunion! :)

Hope you two are enjoying your Honeymoon!

Enjoy your slideshow!

This was my first time meeting Brian.  It was obvious from the beginning of the shoot that he adores Sara.  He kept me laughing the whole shoot, but more importantly, he had Sara cracking up the entire time!

Right after I snapped this, he went straight to biting her neck.  She started laughing so hard, which can be seen in the following photo!

Last Saturday, I got the pleasure to assist the talented Jasmine Wang from San Francisco.  Check out her blog for more images from this wedding.  She has a very artistic style! 

I started the day hanging with the gentlemen at Loews in Coronado!  

Shortly after, we boarded the steamy limo and headed to the Immaculata at USD. (I say steamy because the air was broken…and the heat wouldn’t turn off!)

The handsome groom, Rick.  Despite his Soprano’s appearance in this photo, he was a very kind man.

The beautiful flowers below were all from Haydee’s Creative Flowers.

The bride’s family all flew in from Ireland to watch her get married.

 

Celebrating in the limo after!

The last bit of light left…

On to the party!

Melissa Barrad of I Do…Weddings turned this ballroom in to an amazing setting!

Mariachis!

My favorite part of the toasts…the reactions!

DJ Bill Calhoun was running the mic, but in between the band Inside Out rocked the dance floor!

Jasmine, thank you for having me along!  I enjoyed the day spent with you!

xoxo, M
