Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Kelly is a very good friend that I have had since High School. I’ve known Ryan for a couple of years now and I adore them both! Kelly and I planned our weddings along side each other and were each others sounding boards through the entire process!
The day started off at Ryan’s parents home in Rancho Bernardo. The woman in the mirror is a former bride of mine, who just celebrated her 2nd wedding anniversary yesterday!
Kelly’s gorgeous dress hanging at the Rancho Bernardo Inn!
The happy couple saw each other before the ceremony
After the bulk of the photos, we headed to Bernardo Winery.
The lovely cake below was made by Gloria’s Bakery in Escondido.
Ryan is an amateur photographer and each table had one of his travel photos on it!
The ring was a little tight…
First dance and my fav of the day!
Ryan’s family loves to tease…this was about the time they played the Full House theme song for him…something about loving Uncle Jesse?
Cheers!
Ryan and Kelly, have fun without me in Amsterdam and Belgium! I know you will! See you when you get back!
xoxo, M
