Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
This was a special wedding because Naomi and Paul got married in the same location that I will be saying my vows in just over 5 months! They were married at Ocean View Villas in Pt Loma. Thanks to Aaron of I Heart AS photography for bringing me along to 2nd shoot and experience this place first hand!
First, the ceremony. It was a little cloudy that day, but still quite warm!
Paul kept leaning over to whisper in to Naomi’s ear!
Around the neighborhood
I loved this wall!
This toasting flutes were awesome! They were on loan from one of Naomi’s bridesmaids!
The toasts were so sweet and heartfelt. You could feel the love that everyone had for these two!
First dance. I love the higher angle from the balcony!
Naomi, thanks for allowing me to be a part of your wedding, for set up and for photos! And Aaron rocks! 🙂
xoxo, M
