The proud look on Jake’s face when Kayla appeared at the top of the stairs before coming down the aisle, made me tear up with joy for these two. Jake and Kayla were married this past Fall at Vitagliano Vineyards and Winery in Temecula.
They had met through a mutual friend one summer while Kayla was home from college. It was an instant connection and they were glued at the hip for the rest of the summer break.
July 4th, 2016 Jake organized a firework boat cruise through in the Newport Beach harbor in Orange County, CA. Jake had figured out through a friend of Kayla’s that her dream proposal was one that she could be with her close friends and family to celebrate afterwards, so with everyone in on the secret and during the grand finale of the fireworks Jake told Kayla why everyone was there and that was for him to get down on one knee and ask for her hand in marriage.

Threats of rain backed off to beautiful blue skies and an evening under a full moon. Vitagliano Winery was such a romantic setting and had nearly magical charm about it. Everything was stunning for these two and I couldn’t be happier for them.
Jake and Kayla, you two make such a beautiful team. Your friendship and love for each other shines out. It was beautiful to see all your friends and family cherishing your love story.

The soft clouds added a dreamy look to Prachee + Brian’s beach wedding. So happy for them! ...
Prachee + Brian had an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in San Clemente. Everyone held their breath as the tide came closer and closer as they said their vows but the couple embraced it and put their feet in the water after! 💕 ...

I just hit 30 weeks pregnant and as my belly gets bigger, I get more out of breath, battle being hangry too often, and take more naps, I don’t always feel my best. @camrynclairphoto did some maternity photos for me and made me feel so beautiful and celebrated. It was such a gift and I’m so thankful for these photos to cherish this beautiful, awkward, wonderful new experience.
Sweet baby sunshine, we can’t wait to meet you and show you this beautiful world! ☀️💛 ...

What’re your nicknames for each other? David calls Brooke his little Honey Bee! She wears the name proudly with a little bee in her hair. 😍
I love it when my husband calls me Jan-Cakes.
