Engagement

Feel Good, Authentic Torrey Pines Romantic Engagement Photos

I met up with Erica and Chris for a stunning engagement session at Torrey Pines State Beach, where they also took time to celebrate their recent pregnancy. We hiked up to the tip-top, and sped (slowly) down to the water just in time for the clouds to show a magnificent cotton candy sunset! It was one of those sunsets you take the time to enjoy and take it all in.

I’m so excited for what’s to come for these two and their wedding in Mexico next year!

Here’s a few favorites:

The wedding weekend of Sam & Colby was filled with The wedding weekend of Sam & Colby was filled with so many legendary moments, but most importantly, it was filled with such a goodness that could only come from a special couple like them. 

From rehearsal day, to classic car cruising. Watching Colby walk down the aisle, to their first dance with all eyes on them. JOY. Looking back at these photos, I can instantly recall the joy that they exuded to everyone around them. I’m just so grateful for these two and the opportunity to witness this incredible wedding.

One of my all time favorite couples and weddings, with @theweddingplanandcompany @joykrisjon 💙
When was the first time you saw a bride? Disney When was the first time you saw a bride? 

Disney did a great job illustrating the magic surrounding such a special woman on a wedding day. But nothing could prepare you for a surprise on your field trip.

Adriana was exactly that - poised and completely in the moment, throughout her entire wedding day. Both her and Bradford almost floated throughout the day. Eyes locked on each other. I could read just how much they meant to each other. 

It’s inspiring to see such focus and intention, however natural it may come. Marriage is a journey not with what you have, but with who you have to share it with.

And I’ve never met a groom that whipped out a Flying V on his wedding night, and ripped on the guitar harder than I ever could.

Grateful for these two 💙

Natalie and Lars’ @theshermangardens wedding is th Natalie and Lars’ @theshermangardens wedding is the perfect reminder that we are less than 1 month away from Spring! Their love truly was in bloom 🌺 

From a tearful beachside first look, to an intimate garden wedding with your closest family and friends. Japanese Maple, flowers, succulents and cacti all around as decor, all the way through to a string-lit reception. I couldn’t help but notice all the small things amidst great company.

I could see why this beautiful rock-loving couple traveled all the way from Nashville, to have their wedding on the California coast. This is one of my favorite weddings and couples working with @theweddingplanandcompany @theweddingplanandco_christie! #leicam #leicaq3 #shermangardens
