Karthik & Ranjani's elegant and colorful wedding at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, CA was unforgettable! Their wedding was bursting with excitement, fun and beautiful colors! We can't get enough of Ranjani's beautiful smile and Karthik's epic dance moves!

We are excited to share some of the best moments and our favorite photographs from their picture-perfect wedding day!

The Immaculata in San Diego, CA is a gorgeous Catholic Church right on the USD campus grounds. The buttery golden light and beautiful grounds made this the perfect first stop for Claudia & Doug's wedding day! 

Next, we move to the beautiful shores of the San Diego Bay at Tom Ham's Lighthouse for the Ceremony & Reception. What more could you ask for in a ceremony site, than the golden sunset shinning on the downtown skyline. It was a beautiful night filled with love, laughter & happily ever after!

Sarah- Anne and Kevin's wild wedding was one for the books! Shooting at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park was a different experience at night. The animals were quite and the walkways bare of people, but that didn't stop these guys from having a wild fun time! Under their umbrella of love, they stayed dry and cozy as we experienced some sprinkling during the ceremony. You know what they say about rain on a wedding day... It's actually a sign of good luck, but Sarah-Anne and Kevin need no luck when it comes to their future. No matter what comes their way, they're gonna face it with strength, love and most importantly they'll face it together!

We are so excited to share with you all this UP themed Disney engagement session from the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival! What an adventure it was shooting these pictures and traveling along the shore of lake Skinner in Temecula, CA to catch the balloons at the perfect angle. 

Born not from our flesh, but born in our hearts. You were longed for and wanted and loved from the start! Great things are worth waiting for, and I am so overjoyed for this sweet families new blessing! Jillian, soon to be mama of two, contacted us for this surprise announcement shoot, and let me tell you it was an awesome surprise for us too. Remembering the journey to Kensie's adoption ( the little cutie holding the sign), and me (christina) being adopted myself, i was happy for Jillian yet feeling her stress. Adoption is not easy, but it is so worth it!

What a beautiful day for a proposal in gorgeous Temecula Valley Wine Country. Brian had planned out the most perfect wine tasting at Avensole Winery in Temecula, CA with a surprise ending. It couldn't have gone anymore perfect, when he asked the love of his life to be his forever. SURPRISE! SHE SAID YES! ​

One of our favorite things about our job is being invited back, to capture another memory for a sweet family. Watching Ana & Mike grow as a couple has been a complete joy! From our first family session with them in Julian, CA to the big day in Vista, CA, the love has had no shortage. They radiate smiles and laughs all throughout their sessions and you just can't help but walk away feeling so blessed!

The venue at the Rancho Guajome Adobe in Vista, CA was an absolutely perfect spot to celebrate the couples marriage. We had never shot a wedding there, but let me tell you, it is a new favorite! So many beautiful spots for pictures as well as a perfect backdrop for ceremonies. 

We cannot wait for our next wedding there, but most importantly, we can't wait to watch Ana & Mike grow closer as a couple and capture their next special moment! 

While everyone was raving about the California Poppy super bloom, we were raving about this couples blooming love! "Let love bloom" was our inspiration for this session in Lake Elsinore, CA and i feel like we couldn't have captured that any better!
