Laura and Christian had a destination wedding in lovely La Jolla.  They live in Arizona, so the Scripps Seaside Forum was the perfect venue for a California beach wedding.  It was the first time I had met either of them, and I instantly felt like part of the crew.  The details were amazing and the food was yummy.  It was a perfect mix of elegant wedding and small family celebration.

Congratulations to you both!  Enjoy your photos!

  • Beautiful! I love the cool and fun vibe their special day 😉

Sarah and Jorge hired me a long time ago, so it was so great to see their vision come to life.  Their wedding day at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula was so full of personal touches, and sweet moments.  Etsy should personally thank Sarah for buying so many cute little things for the wedding 🙂  Everything truly went so smoothly, and everyone had a great time.  We were so happy to be part of a wonderful day.  Congratulations Jorge and Sarah!

Sarah’s mom was trying no to cry and her daughters were laughing at her:

Wedding photos can be dangerous! HiYa!

He was trying to walk down the aisle but avoid the flowers, so cute!Everyone in the wedding party placed a rock in this bowl during the ceremony.  What a great and different idea!

  • I’ve never been to this venue and have a wedding there later this yes at. What were your thoughts on the place/people?

Meet my handsome new nephew!  He’s such a sweet little guy and weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds 2 ounces.  And he’s obviously not having any problems gaining weight 🙂

It’s so exciting to have an new little one in our family to love.  He’s super cuddly and kind of makes me want another baby (but not really!).

We did the photos when he was 11 days old.  You’ll see how sweet his big brother Ellis is with him.  First off, my most favorite photo!  This was taken in my sister’s lovely succulent garden:

Ryland has been the sleepiest baby EVER.  But, he decided to be wide awake for our whole photo session!

I came back a few days later to get a few sleepy photos.  He slept for about 2 minutes, but that’s all I needed!  Please check out the thighs!

    Thank you, Chelsea for these amazing photos. The one in the garden is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Your family is so blessed to have you! As am I, being a faraway granma. I will get a cd and make them an album if that is okay by you. I did the pregnancy one and is gorgeous! I’ll be sending it soon. Thank you, so, so, so much!!!

    Chelsea he’s so beautiful, tell Lindsay and Nick Congratulation for the new addition, of their family.

This was such a beautiful wedding in Chula Vista.  Laila and Dale are obviously loved by many, and this wedding really celebrated their family and friends.  The details were lovely, the weather was perfect and I just can’t get over how stunning Laila is!

It was really great to spend the day and evening with you all.  I can tell that Laila and Dale really have a great partnership, and I loved seeing how much Dale loves Laila’s children.  It was a happy day!

Now on to the photos!

I also photographed Rachel and Jake, Aaron and Sonya, and Erin and Tad’s weddings:

    Beautiful wedding and photos! The bride is absolutely stunning! I couldn’t help but smile the whole way through!

  • these photos are amazing …

It was sad and gray and rainy the morning of our scheduled engagement session.  After a couple of phone chats, we decided to do the photos no matter what.  I’m so glad we did because it was a beautiful day!  Nicole and Cesar are getting married next month on a cruise ship.  Although I won’t be photographing their wedding, it was so fun to spend the afternoon cruising around Balboa Park and getting to know them.

Have a wonderful wedding!
