Kara + Erik // Franciscan Garden and the San Juan Capistrano Mission Wedding

I absolutely LOVE all the color that Kara + Erik had at their wedding. They were married at Franciscan Gardens in the charming downtown of San Juan Capistrano. They did a First Look at the Mission SJC and had time for just the two of them to be together before the ceremony. I love our weather in California where we can be outside year round! Their wedding was in February and was a gorgeous day!

Big shout out to Michelle with Joy n’ Company for making the day run so smoothly and to Emily with The Moody Blooms for her incredible eye for florals and color. The whole team of rockstar vendors are listed below.

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.
