Aaron and Erina – Japanese Friendship Garden, Balboa Park Wedding Photographer

It’s rare that I have a wedding where I have never met the couple.  But since Erina and Aaron live in DC, I didn’t get the pleasure to meet them until the night before at their rehearsal dinner.  They both just and sweet and kind as I could have hoped for!  Their friends loved to dance and they had an incredible dessert bar too!  This post is extremely portrait-heavy, so enjoy!

Oh, and I want to give a little shout out to Lindsy Hines of Weddings by Lindsy.  It was our first time working together and is was a total joy!

    Love these! Stunning bride. My favs are the one where groom is picking up bride and the one below it where they are looking at each other so sweet.
