Katelynn, adorned in a stunning dress by Teutamatoshi, stole the show. Covered in delicate daisies, the dress perfectly encapsulated the essence of their 60's theme. But Katelynn didn't stop there – she handcrafted oversized daisies that adorned the ceremony space, creating a whimsical and enchanting atmosphere. These became such a stand out detail of the day that was so much fun for photos!
Read MoreBecause of this, we used their engagement shoot to hang out at their venue and get an idea of where we would want to head the day of for portraits. It was a totally perfect evening and we are now prepared to get the wedding photos done quickly so they can get to the party!
Read MoreI’m a firm believer that any kind of precipitation makes a wedding day more magical. Anyone can have a normal blue sky, but rain is something special that you can’t plan for. Weather is an opportunity for magic that not everyone can have! Plus, it usually brings really wonderful, soft light with it that makes everyone’s skin glow. Win win!

Read MoreBRICK its self is the perfect blank canvas for a wedding. True to it’s name, it is a warehouse with brick wall and windows for perfect dramatic light. The high ceilings make it the perfect spot for hanging and/or grand floral installations. It was also the perfect canvas for multiple installations. Liberty Station is also such a fun spot to have a wedding, as there is a wide variety of backdrops and locations for killer wedding photos. You can see a full BRICK wedding HERE!
Read MoreHitting the two year mark with them, I have shot over 120 weddings in the past two years and I have learned so SO much. I have also worked at so many amazing venues, and this year included some of my favorite alternative San Diego wedding and elopement venues:
The Samuel Fitch House is the perfect place for a rustic New England wedding. It gives off the vibe of an intimate, backyard event and the entire 2 acre wooded lot is dripping with New England charm. It was used as a family home for over 300 years before becoming a bed and breakfast in the 2000’s
Read MoreBelle Mer is a stunning wedding venue right on the Oceanfront of Newport, Rhode Island. You can have your ceremony looking right out over the water with great views of the Newport Bridge. The building is clean, bright and boasts a lot of space, a gorgeous getting ready area and lots of incredible windows to enjoy the view!
Read MoreThe Audubon Center was such a rad venue. On top of a huge, open field, they have BIRDS! I have never been so close to a Bald Eagle before! They also hand made almost everything and included so many fun personal touches. Dave made all of the yard games by hand and all of their signs were cut and painted by them. Instead of a wedding cake they bought various pies and cakes. Catering done by the amazing Pennypackers via a food truck, which everyone loved. For favors they made heart shaped bird treats and made a donation to the Audubon Society.
