I had met Shannon years prior to her wedding since we share a few mutual friends. I think it was always an unspoken fact I’d be her wedding photographer. 😉 She and Charles had such a beautiful, modern Fall inspired wedding in Carlsbad and were rewarded with the most stunning sunset! All that and I got to sit at a guest table with my friends!? Wedding photo win!

A true Cowboy/Cowgirl romance. Edith + Justin absolutely love the outdoors and animals. It was only natural that they would include both in their wedding day! Edith’s horse Charger even made an appearance for her entrance and some portraits! Don’t forget to check out Edith’s amazing cowgirl boots either! Swoon!

This wedding was extra special to me. My good friend and wedding planner extraordinaire got married! Let me tell you, wedding planners know how to throw a party! And this one was epic. To visiting the tigers and rhinos to the most beautiful long tables and gorgeous florals…I’m not surprised this one got picked for a magazine! Enjoy!

I rarely get to meet my clients prior with destination weddings but Melissa + Brian made a special trip to San Diego for their engagement photos! It was fun already knowing their fun personalities at the wedding! It was pouring rain every day surrounding their wedding but the actual day was perfection. You can’t miss Brian’s strut down the aisle either – that was one excited groom! I also love how included Brian’s 3 kids were in the day!

Chuck and MJ wanted a quiet and personal day together. I was thrilled when they asked me along to capture their day and be their witness! Such an honor when a couple asks this. We spent time around their old neighborhood, Little Italy and ended with some cake and champagne at Extraordinary Desserts! The predicted rain even let up in time for outdoor portraits!
