Every summer Jesse and Gabby travel from Charleston, South Carolina to San Clemente, California for the Hurley Pro Surfing competition at Trestles. Jesse flew out Gabby’s sisters, her dad, his mom and dad, brother and brothers girlfriend, all to California to be there when he proposed! Gabby was surprised to see she had all of her favorite people in my most loved place to celebrate when she said yes!
They fell in love with our little beach town of San Clemente and decided to have a destination wedding and had all their friends and family fly out from the east coast to come celebrate. Their ceremony in the rock garden and reception in the West Wing and Patio of the Stars at the historic Casino San Clemente.
The first time I met Jesse and Gabby in person, they felt like old friends. We walked down to Trestles for their Engagement Session and had a blast getting to know their story. Now Im on a quest to move them out here!!
Jesse and Gabby, you two are such beautiful souls, so down-to-earth, full of love and ready for adventures. I pray you have many more surf trips and sunshine in your future and continue to grow even more in love with each other each day.

Becoming a Mama has given me a whole new perspective and respect for all the moms who’ve come before me. People can tell you “it’s life changing”, but you don’t know what it’s really like until you’re in it.
My sweet Cali Rae brings us so much joy and sweetness. She melts my heart when she says: “hi, I love you”… “bootiful Mama”… “oh goodness”… and gives us hugs and smooshes! She can be a rollercoaster of emotion, wearing her heart on her sleeve - she reminds me how to live in the moment.
There’s something so timeless about black and white photos. 🤩
