Lindsey and Mark’s Laguna Beach Engagement

LindseyMarkEngagementBlog-39

Lindsey and Mark are the cutest! While they both reside in San Francisco, they are so excited to get married next spring in Laguna Beach. Laguna holds a special place in their hearts. They have had many romantic dates in this cute seaside town. One of their favorite spots is in the small alley way of Peppertree Lane in downtown.  In the cute hidden nook of Peppertree Lane is a yummy gelato shop that Lindsey and Mark frequent. Lindsey gets coconut and Mark gets mint!  It was only fitting to start their engagement session there. We then took a little stroll down the beach to the tide pools. The beach in Laguna is always packed with not only tourists, but the locals walking their dogs. It is a very active city, and why waste a perfect sunset!!? As we walked to the tide pools, they pointed out where they will be getting ready for their big day at a hotel nearby. It all seemed to be falling into place. We watched the warm glow of the sunset fade away on the rocky beach. Perfection. Congrats to you both!

Ana and Nick’s Wilson Creek Winery Wedding in Temecula

AnaNickWedding-108

While in the busy season of editing weddings, I tend to find some good tv shows to watch in the background while I work. (I swear this is Ana and Nick related!). I’ve been watching a lot of How I Met Your Mother, and really have a soft spot in my heart for Marshall and Lilly. For those not familiar with this adorable tv-couple, let me tell you how these two souls are meant to be together! Once they met it was love at first sight, and no one has come close to comparing since. They do everything together, they even go as far as brushing their teeth together in the morning. Long story short, after watching the show, you *know* Lilly and Marshall are a “forever couple” and you have extreme #relationshipgoals envy. (Lilly’s answer to Marshall’s marriage proposal was “Of course you idiot!” as she then tackled him to the floor with kisses). When I met Ana and Nick, it was like watching a real version of Lilly and Marshall. They are that born-to-be-together duo. When they look into each others eyes, it is like no one else is in the room with them, and they give each other the most tender and sincere kisses. They are inseparable, and so in love.

Ana and Nick wed at Wilson Creek Winery on a perfect fall evening in Temecula, CA. Why a winery? Well, first off the obvious reason for their shared love for wine, but also because Nick proposed to her during a walk through the vineyards during a getaway trip to Sonoma wine country. Now I’m not sure if she used the exact words of “Of course you idiot!” like Lilly did, but I’m sure it was along the same lines! Congrats to such a lovely and sweet couple, for finally becoming one, and throwing a fun and beautiful wedding!

Jenny and Jacob’s Coronado Engagement

JennyJacobEngagementBlog-33

Jenny and Jacob met in high school. After knowing someone for that long, you really get to understand all sides of them, inside and out. They fell deeply in love with each other, and now can’t wait to take the next plunge in life together, marriage! While still dating, they lived on Coronado Island for awhile. They thought it would be fitting to have their engagement session on the beaches of this quaint and charming island of San Diego. They grabbed their blanket and some coffee and we hit the dunes by the Hotel Del Coronado. November sunsets in California never cease to amaze me, and it was only made better by watching these two dance in the sand with love in their eyes. Looking forward to their wedding next summer!! Congrats to Jenny and Jacob!
