Natalie & Jeff’s Wiens Family Cellars Temecula Wedding
December weddings are always a pleasure and helping Natalie & Jeff with theirs kept this promise true! They held their complete weddings on location at Wiens Family Cellars Winery in Temecula, CA. The celebration began memorable, and ended memorable therefore did not disappoint! The entire wedding was full of irony for me personally as well. More on that later. The evening ceremony started just after sunset and finished in complete darkness under a December chilly night for a...

Sierra & David had a Catholic ceremony earlier in the day, but brought their Wedding Reception to the Catamaran Resort in Pacific Beach for a top-notch celebration.

Don Cole photographed the evening and was a pleasure to work with with his very easy going attitude. This one was...

Nick & Renee ended the summer with their Labor Day weekend wedding at the Bali Hai restaurant and what a big celebration it was! Everything was “Hawaiian” themed, from the ceremony down to the florals. It was my first time back to the Bali Hai since they renovated and the venue turned out great!

Read MoreChiara & Scott go Big at Their Grand Del Mar Wedding
When I first booked with Chiara & Scott, we were supposed to be at another wedding venue in North County San Diego.

Read MoreAngie & Mike Celebrate Their Waterfront Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding
Angie & Mike came in from Arizona to have their (somewhat) destination wedding. I say somewhat as they and many of their frends and family are from out of town, but they all spend a lot of time boating ouf of San Diego and Southern California. Therefore, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was a perfect venue for them to both hold their wedding and post-nuptial reception! The wedding ceremony was officiated by the infamous Pastor Mike out on the side patio as is common at Tom Ham’s. ...

Read MoreBrett and Jennifer at Old Poway Park
Brett and Jennifer had their big day at Old Poway Park. They went for a country themed wedding and it was evident from everything from the outdoor country setting to the table decorations to the music selections. The rain held off for the day but it did cause a scare during set up as it look like it was going to downpour any minute. It turned out to be a gorgeous evening and the longer than usual wedding day of 8 hours, ended up flying by! Large Supply We had quite a large supply again...
