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.

Congrats to Katie & Brian! Married yesterday in Huntington Beach. Everyone started on a party bus and were dropped off in Huntington for the ceremony, then popped by the Elks lodge for drinks and billiards then back to the restaurant for their reception dinner. So much fun to photograph.

Congrats Matt & Allie!! This proposal was so fun to be a part of. Matt planned months in advance to bring his girlfriend out from NJ to CA and propose. Her sister happened to pick a white 👰‍♀️dress and she got a sweet surprise when he got down on one knee - and of course she said “YES!”. The surprise didn’t end there though… we then went down to the sand for a few photos where one of their favorite bands (and mine!) came out to serenade them on the beach. 🤭💕
