It was a tropical summer day here in our little beach town of San Clemente. The marine layer rolled in but was beautiful and dreamy for Jim + Ashley’s wedding day. They had their First Look down at the beach and then had their wedding party join them.
Their ceremony and reception was at La Ventura San Clemente. La Ventura Event Center is a hidden gem! It honors the “Spanish village by the sea” vibe of San Clemente with its Spanish-Colonial Revival architecture and landscaping. They have a darling bridal suite and grooms room and take such good care of their couples.
Jim + Ashley, I am so happy for you two and so happy I was able to photograph your engagement and wedding! You two have such a sweet, kind, adorable love.

Big shout out to this amazing team of vendors!
Here’s a recent album. I’m delivering to my clients tomorrow. I don’t get to show them off as I have them delivered directly to my clients, but I had this one on hand and wanted to show you. For the cover, they chose a stone, distressed leather with a cameo, showcasing, one of their photos and engraving of their name and wedding date. These albums make such a great heirloom and I love seeing their love story unfold in the album.
Sarah and Judah met at church and after just a couple coffee dates sparks were flying! Their relationship grew from there and over a year later Judah popped the question.
They share such a sweet love. I’m so happy for them.
The First Look is so special. 💕 It’s a time set aside, before the ceremony, for just the bride and groom to see each other and have a moment before they go into the rest of their day together.
