Robin & Chris were married at Steele Canyon Golf Club located in Jamul, CA. It was a gorgeous Spring wedding with soft pinks and greens as their colors. The site featured a reception room with glass walls that provided lovely, natural light for a good chunk of the evening. Congratulations to a beautiful & so-in-love couple… your wedding day was nothing short of idyllic!

Lynette and Jonathan eloped at The Wedding Bowl in Couvier Park, La Jolla. Lynette and Jonathan (along with their adorable son!) were a ton of fun, and I always love shooting in La Jolla, especially with a nice marine layer :). Many brides I talk to have concerns about “June gloom,” but it is actually one of my absolute favorite lighting situations to shoot in. In other news, I’m voting for more brides with electric blue heels!!

Tanya & Gil were married at the lovely Castle Creek Inn in Escondido! The bridal suite was filled with mirrors and natural light… everything I like to see (brides – always be sure to check this out when you are looking at venues!) Tanya & Gil’s teary-eyed ceremony was followed by a fun-filled reception with dinner served in martini glasses!

I had the great pleasure of shooting Pati & Dirk’s beautiful wedding in Annapolis, CA just north of San Francisco. Anvil Vineyard & Ranch provided a gorgeous ceremony site and a huge ranch house for guests to stay in. Pati & Dirk’s family and friends traveled from far and wide on a trip punctuated by a very long winding mountain road, but the destination was certainly worth the journey. Anvil Ranch was totally secluded and still vast. A large turnout from both sides of the family did not stop the ceremony, reception, and everything in between from feeling completely heartfelt and intimate.
