Balboa Park San Diego Tangled Inspired Engagement Session | Lauren + Thomas

"Our vision is sort of a Disney meets Lord of the Rings. We want something romantic and rustic, and to tie our two themes into the wedding very subtly.  Let me know if you are interested!"

That was what Lauren's email said when she contacted me about doing her and Thomas' wedding photography!
Um....YES!!!!!! was my answer! 
Lauren and Thomas' engagement session in Balboa Park in San Diego was amazing! For the beginning of her session Lauren wore her Grandma Jeanne's 1940s lace wedding gown. She said it was the dress that her grandma had worn on her wedding day and was married to her Elton for over 60 years! What an amazing way to honor her grandparents' marriage!

For the later part of their session, we chose to channel their favorite Disney movie, Tangled. Thomas introduced Lauren to the movie because her green eyes, blonde hair and gorgeous smile reminded him of Rapunzel. Lauren is currently training a sweet lab, Charlotte, to be a companion dog and she even made a guest appearance at the session. With a little Disney-esque magic, we even incorporated floating lanterns at the end! What a magical engagement shoot! I CAN'T WAIT for the wedding!!!!!

Jordyn & Taylor | Red Rocks and Daniel's Park Denver Engagement Photos

I had an amazing time galavanting around Denver, Colorado with Jordyn and Taylor for their engagement session! Our day started before the sun rose when we headed out Red Rocks Park, the home of the historic Red Rock Amphitheater and where Taylor proposed. 
In the evening, we took a few photos at the park they both grew up playing in as children. We then went to the spectacular Daniel's Park just south of Denver. Once in awhile, I feel I'm photographing in locations that are just so magnificent the photos don't do it justice. This was one such occasion and I think you will agree! Enjoy Jordyn and Taylor's engagement photos and be on the lookout for their wedding photos later this year!

Alex & Victoria | Talega Golf Club Wedding

I adore Alex and Victoria and have been so excited to post their images! I loved working with them on their engagement session and the were a true joy on their wedding day. They had a gorgeous wedding at the Talega Golf Club in San Clemente. My favorite moment from their big day was when Alex teared up in the ceremony. What a sweetheart! ENJOY!

Women's Club of Orange Brunch Wedding | Kelsey and Robert

This blog post is waaaayyy overdue. As in, today is their one-year anniversary overdue. However, we think Kelsey and Robbie will forgive us especially since since their wedding; we got pregnant & had a baby and now Kelsey and Robbie are pregnant and expecting a little one of their own. What a difference a year makes!!! So, in honor your anniversary, Kelsey and Robbie, here is your blog post. We are proud to say that we called you friends when we photographed your wedding and we call you even dearer friends today! We love doing life together with you and there is so much we are grateful to God for through you. You have picked us up food from the grocery store, painted us paintings, cleaned our house, fixed us meals and MORE!!! Thank you for being God's grace and kindness to us! We are so thankful for you!!!

Kelsey and Robbie's wedding day was so much fun and sweet for us! Their wedding was held at The Women's Club of Orange in Old Towne Orange. It's where our church (Sovereign Grace Church of Orange) meets every Sunday. What a sweet moment to watch to fellow church members become husband and wife where we worship together every Sunday!

Our favorite moment was when Robbie and Kelsey had their first look. What a reaction!As if their wedding couldn't have been more fun, they served brunch for their wedding reception. Complete with  a mimosa bar and ALL YOU CAN EAT BACON!!! Robbie loves bacon and we love him for his love of bacon!

Rosarito, Mexico- Las Rocas Resort | Destination Wedding | Christie & Sebastien

With the holidays and other weddings, we have gotten a little behind with our blogging! Well, it’s a new year and we are excited to share all the amazing weddings and engagement sessions we have been working on!

For this wedding, we are headed south of the border to Mexico! Christie and Sebastien tied the knot at Las Rocas Resort and Spa in Rosarito, Mexico. We had an amazing time hanging with their friends and family for the intimate event overlooking the ocean. The margaritas (seriously the most amazing margaritas ever!), guacamole and carne asada were plentiful and delicious!!! Our favorite part of the day was when we headed down the cliffs to the ocean below for Christie and Sebastien's sunset photos. So romantic and lovely!!!
