Kristen + Jesse // Plaza de Magdalena Wedding

Jesse + Kristen first met back at the Police Academy, and that early flirtation blossomed into love. Years later, Jesse proposed to Kristen in Long Beach at the end of a pier. 2021 was a big year for them… They got engaged, became home owners, and then became HUSBAND and WIFE!! They also got a beautiful surprise of a sweet baby girl added to the family!

Congratulations you two!! I am so incredibly happy for you! I wish you lots of love in this next journey! Congrats!!

Katrina and Tony made it a special point not to call or see each other before their wedding ceremony. Tony even turned his back until the exact moment Katrina was lined up in view down the aisle. It was a very emotional sweet day and I’m so happy for them.

Jennifer and Philippe had been down different paths but fate brought them together. We got to do some wedding portraits of them before they left to elope in Hawaii just the two of them. 😍

Got to be a part of @communityhousedp Open House yesterday! I didn’t even know this hidden gem existed! Right in the heart of Dana Point it’s perfect for a small wedding or party.
