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.

Tracy and Andrew had the sweetest, intimate wedding ceremony on the bluffs of Laguna Beach, overlooking the gorgeous coastline.

Tracy’s two daughters stood proudly by her side as bridesmaids, while Andrew’s two sons stood with him—making this beautiful day even more meaningful and special. 🥂

@ocbeachweddings brought the perfect touches for a coastal celebration, including parasols and fans for the guests, plus champagne for the bride and groom to cheers with. They made sure everything ran smoothly so Tracy and Andrew could simply soak in every moment of their beautiful day. ✨

Nicolette & Tyler had the most gorgeous wedding day on the bluffs of Dana Point, overlooking the harbor.

Their ceremony took place at the beautiful Heritage Park Alcove, followed by an intimate reception at the Chart House. As the evening unfolded, the warm, romantic golden sunset lit up the coast, creating the most magical backdrop for celebrating their love. ✨🌅

A truly beautiful Dana Point wedding filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable coastal views.
