“I Do” Venues is doing a nice showcase on a wedding that I recently shot at the Thomas Fogarty Winery. This ceremony site is absolutely beautiful! Simply click here to get a feel for it, and see what I had to say about this couple’s special day below.

“I loved the view of the valley, from the ceremony site and the short walk down to the open air reception area. After dinner we went inside to this perfectly sized dance floor so everyone to get down! The vineyards are beautiful and overlook the valley as well. I love the outdoor feel of this venue and the covered, open air reception location.

My favorite thing about this wedding was the couple. I am a San Diego wedding photographer but I flew up to San Francisco to shoot their engagement and their wedding. When the wedding day came around, I already felt like family. This couple has such incredible passion for their families and for each other and the wedding reflected that. I could see the couple in every detail and every choice. They probably had one of the longest toasts that I have ever seen with family members and friends all getting up with incredible toasts to the couple.

It was truly a personal and very special celebration.” ~ Sara France

Hotel Del Coronado Wedding- Julie and Michael

Julie and Michael’s wedding was an interesting one; they actually eloped. Although it was different then my other weddings, it was still so adorable! Besides the officiant, the only other person there was Julie’s best friend. They hired me so that they can send out pictures of their wedding announcing that they had got married at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, California. I thought it was a cute way to include all of those who were not there. Enjoy!

They got married on the beaches of Coronado, and then stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado.

Rancho Bernado Wedding- Christy and Jason

I loved shooting Christy and Jason! They are such a fun couple! They met at the high school they both teach at. In case you missed it, check out their engagement shoot that I posted, it really tells you a lot about their personality.

Christy and Jason got married at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. It was such pretty wedding ceremony! Definitely a wonderful venue if you are looking for one!

During the father-daughter dance, they did a tribute to Christy’s mother who had previously passed away. It was very sad, but so precious!

Hard Rock Hotel Wedding San Diego – Elise and Giovanni (Part Three)

Elise and Giovanni’s wedding reception was just as great as the wedding. As you can see, it was held at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, and it was so much fun!! The one thing I loved the most was the first dance. It was a salsa dance!!! It stole my heart! I also loved the cake which was ridiculous! It was practically as tall as them. The center pieces were just as beautiful. Oh and did I mention their singer? They flew in a singer from Vegas and he was amazing!!!

Elise’s dress was also a lot of fun. If you noticed in the first post of their wedding, her dress was two parts. What you didn’t see was that there was also a third piece. Before their grand entrance to the reception she changed into the third piece. it was adorable!
