Mandi and I joined Ben and Leslie at their beautiful and intimate Father’s Day wedding in San Diego.    While Mandi was hanging with the men, I got to spend the morning with Leslie and her Maid of Honor, Michelle, at the US Grant Hotel.

This stunning bouquet was done by Sally with Exquisite Blooms!

The handsome groom 🙂

The gorgeous bride! You know I’m partial to birdcage veils 😉

The ceremony was held inside Alcazar Garden’s at Balboa Park

Love this shot of Leslie and her son D’Anthony

They had the most awesome 1927’s vintage car by Haynes Chauffeuring

They have this adorable inside joke having to do with monkeys, so they were portrayed throughout the day 🙂 Yummy cupcakes by Sweet Cheeks Bakery!

Leslie and Ben were very tidy with their cupcakes while feeding each other…D’Anthony decided to have a little more fun with his!

Shout out to Brenda with Swann Soirees for making the day run so smoothly as usual!

Leslie and Ben, thank you so much for including us in your day!  You were so awesome to work with, I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Michael and Denise were married in Chula Vista last month.  Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they laughed, danced, drank Jone’s Soda and were married. 🙂

Such a beautiful smile Denise!

Love this shot below that Allison captured during Denise’s walk to the aisle

So ready to marry his love!

Loving the light in this ceremony!

A few weeks ago, Hannah tweeted that she was super stoked on these florals she was designing so we decided to meet up and grab a few photos for her portfolio.  Enjoy the gorgeous blooms and if you are still looking for an awesome florist, drop Modern Bouquet a message through their website!

She had just purchased this little wagon – so adorable!

Glad to call you a friend, Hannah!  Keep up the beautiful work!

Katee and Marc had a very small, intimate and relaxed wedding at the Arterra Restaurant at the Del Mar Marriott.  My favorite part?  The bride wore dark blue!  I love non-traditional aspects when it fits the couple!

One of their two fur-babies was checking me out!

We shot near their gorgeous home in Cardiff.

These cupcakes were soooo good! From Cupcake Love in Solana Beach.

My fav of the day! <3

Thanks for having us as part of your wedding day!

Tyja was all smiles preparing to marry her childhood sweetheart, Aaron.  With her family and friends surrounding her she was totally calm.  The day started out at the Coronado Marriott on Coronado Island.

You are beautiful Tyja!

The ceremony was at Centennial Park in Coronado, which in my opinion, is the best view of downtown San Diego!

The Reception was at the Coronado Cays Yacht Club

This little guy had some great moves!!

Congrats you two, hope Hawaii was everything I hyped it up to be!

xo, Melissa
