I adore these engagement photos of Ashely and Anthony that Mandi took!  They incorporated their Mustang for some really hot photos.  I’m excited to see their wedding photos soon! -M

The one thing Mandi told me about this wedding was how sweet and fun Laura & Alex were and that their families and bridal party were one of the best she had seen, pitching in all day and making sure the timeline was right on!  Because of a later ceremony time, Mandi only had a few minutes of light remaining for their photos!  She had to get creative and use Balboa Park’s gorgeous lights and she rocked it!  Lauren and Alex were thrilled with the result. 🙂

 It’s so fun when I get to 2nd shoot for Mandi!  We always have fun working together.  Leanne & Travis were married on a warm Ramona afternoon at one of my favorite venues!  We got most of the photos done prior to the ceremony so they could join their guests earlier!  I adored their travel theme – Bethel even included some travel stories in their ceremony!  Brenda did an amazing job with the details, each table was a different place they have traveled!   You can see more details from the day on her blog!

I loved their first look, they were so excited to see each other!

Jon and Eva got married last month and Mandi shot their engagement session just weeks prior!  They had a great time around Paradise Point and Jon’s son was able to get in a few photos as well!  Paradise Point is one of my all time favorite venues!
