I’m excited to share this long overdue winery wedding! I met Jamie + Jeremiah though a mutual friend who was a photographer but not able to photograph their wedding. It was a great match – we ended up hitting it off with them and even hanging out on their Honeymoon when we happened to be vacationing in St Lucia the following week! Small world. I love that Jamie surprised her groom with a bagpiper to finish off the ceremony! He was so surprised! Ceremony & Reception: Wiens Winery, Temecula Ca

This may win as most casual wedding last year! Hunter + Lauren absolutely love camping at Carlsbad State Beach – so of course that is where they would choose to get married! It was a small, short standing ceremony on the beach followed by a yummy dinner at the nearby hotel. The night ended with bonfires, laughter and lots of love.

When Jeff proposed to Stephanie he wrote and sang her an awesome song. So when he surprised her again at the wedding and sang the song again – lots of singing and tears happened! And it’s not a slow love song like you would think…Jeff wrote her an amazing rock song!

Pair that with her insane dress, the donut bar, a gorgeous August Day and some of my favorite vendors…I would say this wedding day will go down in the history books!

This was my very first wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe – it did not disappoint! Chris + Stacey, along with their adult children said I do under the gorgeous chandelier tree. It was an intimate affair, with dancing that went well in to the night! Always a joy working alongside Rev. Powers as well!
