Allison and Bryce’s wedding had some many really incredible and personal touches to their wedding.  The ceremony and reception were held on Allison’s family cattle ranch that has been in their family for over 100 years.  Allison’s grandmother officiated the ceremony, Bryce and his brother brewed all the beer, and Bryce even picked the berries and made the jam as a favor.  They raised the cow and pig and then did a deep pit BBQ the night before the wedding.  The meat was served with homemade BBQ sauce.  I loved how everyone came together to decorate, cook and make it such an amazing wedding! I have to thank Kira and Lindsey from the Sweetest Things Events for all their help and smooth coordination magic!

Allison and Bryce met on the first day of high school and have been together ever since.  Their love for each other is so natural and easy, it was a joy to witness.  Thank you both so much for having me there, my only regret is that I didn’t wear boots!san-diego-ranch-wedding-001san-diego-ranch-wedding-002san-diego-ranch-wedding-003san-diego-ranch-wedding-004san-diego-ranch-wedding-005san-diego-ranch-wedding-006san-diego-ranch-wedding-007san-diego-ranch-wedding-008san-diego-ranch-wedding-009san-diego-ranch-wedding-010san-diego-ranch-wedding-011san-diego-ranch-wedding-012san-diego-ranch-wedding-013san-diego-ranch-wedding-014san-diego-ranch-wedding-015san-diego-ranch-wedding-016san-diego-ranch-wedding-017san-diego-ranch-wedding-018san-diego-ranch-wedding-019san-diego-ranch-wedding-020san-diego-ranch-wedding-021san-diego-ranch-wedding-022san-diego-ranch-wedding-023san-diego-ranch-wedding-024san-diego-ranch-wedding-025san-diego-ranch-wedding-026san-diego-ranch-wedding-027san-diego-ranch-wedding-028san-diego-ranch-wedding-029san-diego-ranch-wedding-030san-diego-ranch-wedding-031san-diego-ranch-wedding-032san-diego-ranch-wedding-033san-diego-ranch-wedding-034san-diego-ranch-wedding-035san-diego-ranch-wedding-036san-diego-ranch-wedding-037san-diego-ranch-wedding-038san-diego-ranch-wedding-039san-diego-ranch-wedding-040san-diego-ranch-wedding-041san-diego-ranch-wedding-042san-diego-ranch-wedding-043san-diego-ranch-wedding-044san-diego-ranch-wedding-045san-diego-ranch-wedding-046san-diego-ranch-wedding-047san-diego-ranch-wedding-048san-diego-ranch-wedding-049san-diego-ranch-wedding-050san-diego-ranch-wedding-051san-diego-ranch-wedding-052san-diego-ranch-wedding-053san-diego-ranch-wedding-054san-diego-ranch-wedding-055san-diego-ranch-wedding-056san-diego-ranch-wedding-057san-diego-ranch-wedding-058san-diego-ranch-wedding-059san-diego-ranch-wedding-060san-diego-ranch-wedding-061san-diego-ranch-wedding-062san-diego-ranch-wedding-063san-diego-ranch-wedding-064san-diego-ranch-wedding-065san-diego-ranch-wedding-066san-diego-ranch-wedding-067

darlington-house-wedding-001Words cannot describe how incredible Tricia and Josh’s wedding was at the Darlington House.  First of all, they are both really great people, which always makes a wedding great.  But their wedding was such a collaboration of people who love them.  Tricia works for Coast Catering, so they created a truly inspiring menu.  It was not only beautiful, but really really super delicious!  And Tricia’s lifelong friend Hannah (their parents have been friends forever) from Modern Bouquet did all the florals.  She’s amazing and truly an artist!

Their wedding was filled with so many tears, hugs, laughter and cheer.  I can’t express what happiness all the guests felt… Tricia and Josh’s love was very obvious to all!  Thank you both so much for including us in your wedding!

san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-001I loved celebrating Sandy and Dan’s wedding at the San Diego Safari Park.  It’s such an incredible location for a wedding and we were given the most beautiful weather ever!  Dan and Sandy’s family and friends were so kind and funny and really made the day have such a fun energy.  What’s better than a day surrounded by lovely scenery, great people and some exotic animals? Congratulations to you both, it’s really wonderful to see how happy you make each other!san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-002san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-003san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-004san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-005san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-006san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-007san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-008san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-009san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-010san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-011san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-012san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-013san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-014san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-015san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-016san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-017san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-018san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-019san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-020san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-021san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-022san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-023san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-024san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-025san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-026san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-027san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-028san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-029san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-030san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-031san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-032san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-033san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-034san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-035san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-036san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-037san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-038san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-039san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-040san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-041san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-042san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-043san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-044san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-045san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-046san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-047san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-048san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-049san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-050san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-051san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-052san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-053san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-054san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-055san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-056san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-057san-diego-zoo-safari-park-wedding-058

    We love the way the pics turned out! Thank you so much for capturing all these memories for us!!!

Jeremy contacted me a while ago to arrange photography for his proposal to Parisa.  We had it all worked out through some clandestine texts and emails!  He sent me a photo of them and we were ready to go.  They both walked in to the Flower Fields and I immediately started following them.  If they looked back, I’d just start taking photos of flowers.  🙂

Jeremy finally found the perfect spot and got down on one knee.  He had been carrying around this incredible ring that he designed.  Parisa had the BEST reaction and now they’re engaged!  It was pretty awesome!

And one point Parisa said, “Some lady is taking pictures of us!”  So we met and took some more photos around the Flower Fields.

Thank you both so much for being so darn adorable together, you made my job easy!

Alyssa and David’s wedding was just pure love and happiness!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more calm and excited bride than Alyssa.  When you hear her talk about David, it’s with such confidence and joy.  Despite a rainy forecast, they ended up with a totally beautiful day at the Mission Bay Women’s Club!  The guests enjoyed the taco stand and a delicious candy/dessert bar.  It was such an honor to be a small part in a truly special day.   Your friends and family were so kind and it’s obvious that you both are well loved.  I wish you both so much happiness together!

I also have to give a huge shout to to Elisa and her team at Events by Elisa.  They had to go with the flow and move the ceremony inside and it all went flawlessly!
