Bonnie & Chris’s Blast Wedding at Paradise Point
Many weddings can be summarized with a few words and “an Awesome Time” does the trick for Bonnie & Chris’s wedding at Paradise Point in San Diego. It started light, fun and friendly, looked absolutely dazzling in the middle and ended with a bang on the dancefloor. Working with great vendors was also a nice touch which helps every wedding! The intimate and joyful ceremony was held on the Island Point lawn and officiated by Deborah Young. Immediately following, guests were...
Read MoreSierra & David Celebrate at The Catamaran
Sierra & David had a Catholic ceremony earlier in the day, but brought their Wedding Reception to the Catamaran Resort in Pacific Beach for a top-notch celebration. Being the big “9-10-11” wedding day, the place was bustling with activity (there were 3 stuffed reception room just upstairs alone.) This was my second Catamaran wedding this summer alone. Don Cole photographed the evening and was a pleasure to work with with his very easy going attitude. This one was extra...
Read MoreChiara & Scott go Big at Their Grand Del Mar Wedding
When I first booked with Chiara & Scott, we were supposed to be at another wedding venue in North County San Diego. A few months prior, they switched things up to the magnificent Grand Del Mar resort for a multi-part wedding reception & celebration – and it was a perfect change! It was grand all around, and the celebration went over 7 hours long! After an offsite church wedding, guests arrived for cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres at the Reflection Lawn. Scott & Chiara...
Read MoreAngie & Mike Celebrate Their Waterfront Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding
Angie & Mike came in from Arizona to have their (somewhat) destination wedding. I say somewhat as they and many of their frends and family are from out of town, but they all spend a lot of time boating ouf of San Diego and Southern California. Therefore, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was a perfect venue for them to both hold their wedding and post-nuptial reception! The wedding ceremony was officiated by the infamous Pastor Mike out on the side patio as is common at Tom Ham’s. Following, guests...

Virgil & Penelope have been awesome to work with to prepare for their BIG celebration at the Steel Canyon Golf Club in Jamul, California which turned out to be an awesome place to hold a wedding! Since “Virge & Penny” were going all out, we had multiple planning meetings and a site visit ahead of time to review the arrangement, flow, timeline and all of the event lighting that we were bringing into the Pavilion. It paid off! The wedding ceremony was held right across the...
Read MoreJeff & Jennifer’s Newport Hornblower Wedding
Jeff & Jennifer held their all inclusive, intimate wedding ceremony and reception onboard the Newport Hornblower operated by Hornblower Cruises in the San Diego Harbor.

We left the Broadway pier with 35 guests and immediately had the wedding ceremony on the main deck. Afterwards, guests were escorted upstairs for appetizers, drinks and a view of downtown San Diego that one...

Mandi & Minh brought their 300+ person wedding celebration to the Hilton Torrey Pines for a beautiful reception after a church ceremony earlier in the afternoon. Planning with them was a blast, and included figuring on a “Flash Mob” during the middle of dancing. They are such a happy, sweet couple with “love stories” galore. Guests were treated with appetizers and drinks at one of the four bars setup in two locations for Cocktail Hour, both inside and outside....

I first met Michelle’s mom and we hit it off right away – booked on the spot and were on our way to planning a unique and memorable wedding for her daughter, Michelle along with her fiance Nate! I later met with them for our detailed planning meeting, and then did an onsite walkthrough for some further planning. Michelle said that they wanted absolutely nothing cliche, stuffy and usual and it was delivered perfectly! During the planning meetings, Nate mentioned over and over that...
Read MoreMonet & Joe Ceremony & Celebration at Admiral Kidd Club
Joe & Monet had their combined Ceremony and Reception at Admiral Kidd Club in San Diego – one of the hostest wedding venues around due to the simplicity (though must be attached to the military) and the views of the San Diego Harbor and Downtown. Daytime weddings usually have a different feel overall, but this one didn’t fit the mold. Everything from the gorgeous waterfront ceremony, to the high energy wedding party introductions, to the filled dancefloor during the reception...

Kelly & Darren held their complete wedding on the beautiful grounds of the Rancho Santa Fe Inn. In one breath you think elegance, but after meeting and planning with them for months, the word “party” kept coming closer to mind. Everyone delivered! It was a large setup as we had four (4) areas of coverage: Ceremony on the Lawn Cocktail hour on the Patio/Terrace Dinner outside the Azalea Room w/ First Dance and Toasts Reception, Dancing & Cake inside Azalea Room In...
