Rancho Bernado Wedding- Christy and Jason

Sara — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:40:24 +0000

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!

La Jolla Country Club Wedding- Emma and Camille

The La Jolla Country Club is one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding, and Emma and Camille certainly made it even more of joy. Emma looked so elegant and Camille so handsome. It was a beautiful wedding!

Most people think a wedding at a golf course wouldn’t be too appealing, but at the La Jolla Country Club, it is. It is so gorgeous here! I would shoot here any day!

San Diego Mormon Temple Wedding- Angie and James (Part One)

Angie and James were such a wonderful couple to photograph. We began by shooting outside the San Diego California Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints near La Jolla. Angie and James were greeted by family and friends just after their ceremony. The feeling of excitement was in the air as children played while awaiting the arrival of the bride and groom.

I have shot a couple of weddings at the Mormon Temple in San Diego and I always find it such an anticipating time; waiting for the bride and groom to come out from their ceremony is like waiting in line for your favorite gelato: the wait may seem torturous, but in the end, you get a product that just feels you up with joy, whether it be the happiness in the faces of the newlywed couple, whom I had the joy of photographing, or a big scoop of peanut butter crunch gelato!

Safari Park Wedding ~ Name the Giraffe

Sara — Tue, 31 May 2011 23:34:40 +0000

Giraffe! I love Giraffe’s but I have never had the opportunity to get up close and personal with these animals before…this San Diego Safari Park Wedding shoot!

So, let me back up. When my bride, Nurit, called me so so so excited because her husband had bought her a Post Wedding Fashion Shoot she was bubbling with ideas. I love shooting anything with Nurit and Clayton. Not only are they a beautiful couple but Nurit always pushes me to do whatever I want with her. She let’s me dream and go big with my ideas so, I do. Because of that she is now featured as one of my all time favorite images on a day that was full of fun and excitement at the Safari Park.

The Safari Park used to be called the Wild Animal Park but they recently changed the name and have gone through a complete redesign of their branding. So, the park took the opportunity to have me shoot some images for them as well. Safari Park Weddings are so much fun. If you have not checked out this venue for a wedding you should. So many beautiful locations and fun animal encounters that you can have as part of your day.

I think we should have a contest on who can give the Giraffe the best name. Okay, person to pick the best name for the Giraffe will receive a $50 gift certificate to be used either with my studio or if you are a photographer, you will be able to use it in my store, Product From France to for free trainings. Deadline to submit your name suggestion will be this Sunday June 5th. Have some fun with it! :)

Balboa Park Engagement | Christy & Jason

Sara — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:58:33 +0000

I did this engagement shoot in the heart of San Diego which is Balboa Park. There are so many different types of settings to choose from. I thought this location would be perfect for such a energetic and active couple, especially with their dog Morgan. Balboa Park features Spanish-Renaissance style buildings that make it seem like it’s been around forever even though the park itself is only 100 years old. Christy and Jason brought some youth to liven up the place.

Christy and Jason have a really fun love story. They are both teachers and they met at the High School that they both worked at. Since then they have moved to separate high schools. These two LOVE sports. As you can tell in the images. You have to see the groom’s cake from the wedding. It was the cutest thing!

It’s almost impossible to live in San Diego and not be a Chargers fan. What better place than Balboa Park to show your Charger pride!

Such an incredible couple! I am so blessed to have been a part of your wedding day and your engagement. I am so excited for your lives together. Such a power couple!
