My last wedding of the year! And it did not disappoint! Brian, Laura and their closest family and friends all travelled to San Diego for this beautiful wedding. Laura and Brian came from Texas.

I got the pleasure of meeting these two on one of their trips west, but I had a great time getting to know them better the day of! They are so perfect for each other, always making each other laugh. You can’t help but smile when you notice how the look at each other!

Ceremony and Reception was held at the Sheraton on Harbor Island.

Answering Brian’s phone call…good timing Brian!
If you need an awesome updo, call Freddie at Golden Touch Salon!
Flowers by Melissa Barrad:
I love this shot 🙂
The happy couple chose to see each other before the wedding. (Highly recommended for Winter weddings when the days are shorter!)

The bridal (plus me and Jen) party took a limo to Balboa Park
The supporting cast:

I saw this image in my head, just before we loaded back in the limo:

Just before the ceremony, Melissa Barrad, wedding planner extraordinaire and amazing florist on the left!
The greatest desert! So yummy! Ice cream filled chocolate with raspberry sauce and drizzled white chocolate.
The rings! They are placed on the favor, a Christmas ornament:
I love this shot, probably my favorite of the night!
Don’t forget to check out the slideshow!

XOXO,

Allison put so much thought and detail in to this day!

They have trunk shows for jewelry quite often! Gift bags and the runway!
I love these clutches…can you spot my advertising in this shot??
A HUGE turnout! Precious 🙂

Surprise! I think Erin should write a book titled “How to plan your dream wedding in under 9 days!” Seriously. Joe is a marine and got orders to move to Japan. The only way Erin was going to be able to go was to push their wedding up – by over a year! They had already planned to get married in 2009.

Erin and I were friends in high school and I was flattered when she immediately thought of me for the photography. Thank you Myspace!

This was also the first wedding that my fiance, Tim shot as my assistant. He did a fantastic job, I am really pleased with how well we work together and his images!

I couldn’t decide which shot of the flower girl I like better, this one:

or this one 🙂 So I posted both!
The beautiful Erin:
We avoided outside as much as possible, it was pouring that day!
