This last weekend with Brisa and TJ was so much fun! On Saturday we met at the San Marcos Courthouse and got these two hitched with a small group of their friends and family. It was short but oh so sweet. Afterwards we went and took some stunning photos of them nearby in San Elijo and these two killed it. We had a blast getting to know each other and getting to play. It’s the best part of doing an elopement style wedding, you get to make your own way. You can take your time and the pressure cooker of a hard timeline just isn’t there. It’s the best!

Buckle in for this one, because this weekend was a wild ride! We flew out to Cabo San Lucas for Monique and Nick’s wedding, and it was truly one of a kind. Monique found me through her brothers wedding, where I was the photographer. And since she knew I could handle her fun and rambunctious family then, she asked if I would be willing to come to Mexico to photograph her big day. And I said ummmmm 100% YES!!!

Jack and Laura had a perfect end to their summer. Jack planned an amazing dinner out in Cardiff by the Sea and a romantic walk on the beach, which turned into the biggest surprise for Laura. He got down on one knee and she said YES!!! So many happy tears and big smiles. And the sunset in Cardiff showed off as their back drop, the perfect end to a perfect day.

Yesterday was Conny and Peter’s wedding day, and it was stunning! When I say I had a hard time narrowing down sneak peaks you can believe me, there are still over 40 here! This amazing couple, along with all their friends and family, came into Encinitas to celebrate their big day. And the San Diego Botanic Gardens was the most luscious verdant backdrop for their day. Did everything go to plan? No, just like every wedding day. But these two shinned through the grey skies and unexpected short sprinkles and danced the night away surrounded by love. They rolled with everything and were such a joy to be with and photograph. You can see the how truly happy and joyful they are in every image!

I spent the afternoon yesterday with Monique and her fiance Nick exploring their home in Murrieta. We had the best time getting to know each other and finding new spots around town. We wandered through parks, random open fields and the cutest little downtown ever in Murrieta. I love their love! They were so sweet and kind and just ready for whatever adventure the day brought. The rains this December are just starting to turn the hills are gorgeous green and it was the perfect backdrop for these two to frolic through.
