Elizabeth + Chris | Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Wedding

I’m so excited to share this incredible wedding at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. It’s very obvious what wonderful parents Elizabeth and Chris are, so it’s extra special to see their families join together. Their great friend Tim married them and their vows made everyone laugh and cry, it was perfect. They assembled a great team that delivered delicious food, beautiful flowers and a super fun dance party! I wish you both so much continued love and laughter!

Beatriz + Joe | Julian Ranch Wedding

I think I need to buy a pair of cowboy boots! I might have been the only bootless person at the wedding! I was so excited to head up to Julian for Joe and Beatriz’s wedding. I photographed Joe’s sister’s wedding last year and I knew this wedding would be so fun. Delicious food, lots of dancing and plenty of Coors Light! Joe and Beatriz met in high school and he patiently waited until Beatriz’s dad gave him permission to date her. I think the wait was worth it!!! Thank you both so much for choosing me to photograph your wedding. It’s always such an honor to be the official family photographer!

Kyra + Joey | Willow Creek Ranch Wedding

Kyra and Joey planned such an incredible wedding at Willow Creek Ranch in Valley Center. They treated their guests to lawn games, homemade sangria, incredible southern food and tons of laughs. I was truly impressed by the closeness of their families and how many wonderful friends they have. So to have everyone gathered in one spot really made their wedding day one of the most important days of their lives and I’m so thankful we got to be a small part of it. I wish you both so much happiness and laughter together!

I loved the dad/daughter first look, so sweet!Joey’s mom handmade all the flowers out of paper! Pretty incredible huh?These guys were full of photo ideas 🙂

Rebecca + Mike | San Diego Zoo Safari Park Wedding

In case you were wondering what the perfect wedding venue is for two veterinarians… it’s the San Diego Zoo Safari Park! Rebecca and Mike planned a really incredible wedding for all their guests to enjoy. There was a meet and greet before the ceremony at the African Plains Overlook (with giraffes and many of their friends cruising by), more animals during cocktail hour, delicious food and cupcakes, churros and a candy bar. And the dance floor was packed all night! It was truly a love filled and fun day!

Arlene + Scott | Safari Park Wedding

Arlene and Scott planned an incredible destination wedding at one of my favorite venues, The San Diego Zoo Safari Park. They married each other next to the lions and then treated their guests to an animal presentation with a fox, cheetah and more! It really doesn’t get any cooler than that. I loved how much love and laughter Arlene and Scott have together, they were obviously so happy to be married and it shows in their photos!There is just no humane way to cut the turtle cake 🙂

Reyna + Mike | Guajome Park Wedding

Reyna and Mike had the sweetest wedding at Guajome Park. Mike’s mom was the officiant and then entire wedding was a labor of love by family and friends. The reception was at the Brengle Terrace Park Rec Center. Mike even made the incredible cake stand out of some stumps of wood! The guest were treated to a taco cart with tortillas made fresh to order, lots of cupcakes and super fun dancing. Mike’s daughter was a major part of the festivities and I think I might of taken a million photos of her 🙂
