Sophie & Renwick’s Island Palms December Wedding

Sophie & Renwick held their small, intimate December wedding at the Island Palms Hotel & Marina in San Diego and didn’t hold back on anything!  It was just a few days after the Christmas Holiday which made it a perfect way to celebrate with family and close friends. The late December weather was nearly perfect, although the winds coming off of the adjacent harbor made for a chilly, but memorable ceremony held at the Sunset Garden. The ceremony concluded with a Dove Release as I...

Carmel Mountain Ranch Corporate Party DJ & Lighting

A past bride of mine contacted me after 4 years since doing her wedding, and they were looking to “change things up” with their holiday party being held at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club.

Natalie & Jeff’s Wiens Family Cellars Temecula Wedding

December weddings are always a pleasure and helping Natalie & Jeff with theirs kept this promise true!  They held their complete weddings on location at Wiens Family Cellars Winery in Temecula, CA.  The celebration began memorable, and ended memorable therefore did not disappoint!  The entire wedding was full of irony for me personally as well.  More on that later. The evening ceremony started just after sunset and finished in complete darkness under a December chilly night for a ceremony...

After a week full of rain and cold weather, the skies broke for what turned out to be a huge contingent of Out of Town guests.

They held their ceremony in the Cul-de-Sac just outside of Tom Ham’s Lightouse.  I’ve worked Tom Ham’s no...

Jenn & Zach – A Sexy Elegance at La Valencia in La Jolla

This is a second post entitled with the words “Elegant Bash” as it is also the same thing that comes to mind with Jennifer and Zachery’s wedding celebration held at La Valencia Hotel overlooking the Pacific in La Jolla, CA.   The Valencia was decked out in an elegance that I’ve never seen before.  Sexy, Black & White, Hot Purple Elegance!  At the same time, the friendship and love (and beverage) were flowing so it turned into a Bash and a Half!
