I don’t even know where to begin…  Laura and I have been friends for 6 years, and no one could ask for a better friend than her.  So I am so thrilled to see her end up where she is now.  She was about to move away from San Diego (quit her job, gave notice on her apartment, etc.) when she met Kosta.  I really have to admire how brave she was, because she met him and quickly changed her plan to move.  A total leap of faith, and it paid off.  Since meeting Kosta, she has created a successful photography business, and he opened  Lisko Deli and they have created a wonderful life together in San Diego.  I’m so glad her “moving away” plan failed!

They had been planning a church wedding, but due to health reason’s, Kosta’s mom was unable to travel from Australia.  So they adjusted the plan and greeted their guests as they arrived at The Ultimate Skybox at Diamond View Tower (which by the way is a really cool venue!).  Then they gathered everyone gathered around to watch their touching ceremony that Bethel officiated.  Right after that the celebrating continued.  The amazing food was provide by Terra CateringJoes on the Noes had a coffee bar and their truly yummy cake was by Sweet Cheeks.  Laura and Kosta have so many friends in the wedding and food business, so all the vendors were friends which made it so perfect.  Kiyoko from Cherry Blossom Floral Design created truly incredible florals and Mike Farmer was their DJ.  And lastly, a huge thanks to Amanda from Creative Affairs, she kept the evening running so smooth.

So to sum it all up…  It was a happy day for all as we celebrated our friends Laura and Kosta!

When I showed up at Kaley’s mom’s house for the wedding, I had no idea what to expect.  I was amazed at all the beautiful touches and work their family and friends put into this wedding.  It was truly so touching and personalized.  Kaley’s sister made her incredible brooch bouquet.

And the party was so fun!  We set up a photo station, and I think it’s safe to say that it was a big hit.  The photos are hilarious and total capture the vibe of this group.

I love when really great people end up having the perfect wedding.  Congratulations Kaley and Aaron!

I have to give a shout out to her vendors because they were great!

I think Danielle and Brad have been together for 9 years and they’ve lived long distance for most of it.  So I think it’s safe to say that they were thrilled to finally be married.  Their wedding at the San Diego Safari Park was so beautiful and personal.  But the best part about it for me was doing their couple photos.  They were so sweet and so in love, that everything just felt right and good in the world <3

Everything ran extra smooth thanks to Keely at the Safari Park and Angie from Absolutely Events.  A good team makes it all better!

Congratulations Danielle and Brad!  I wish you a ton of love and happiness!

    Truly beautiful. Such good subjects!

Cherry and Bill had their ceremony at Spanish Landing and their reception at the Porto Vista Hotel in Little Italy.  They had a big crazy wedding party, an awesome cocktail style reception, and great food and drink.  I love free flowing receptions, they are always fun.  The dance floor got crazy, and everyone felt the love and joy from Cherry and Bill.

I love that I get to work with great people.  Thank you both for having us at your wedding!
