San Diego Iglesia ni Cristo Wedding and Julep Venue Wedding Reception
 

A small and warm ceremony for two San Diego souls who grew up here, fell in love here, and promised forever here. Gladys and Aldrin’s wedding was rooted in home, history, and a love that had been growing for years.

Their Iglesia ni Cristo wedding ceremony in San Diego was intimate and full of meaning. Surrounded by close family, they shared vows that carried so much emotion. Even after years together, their tears came so easily, and every moment felt soft, sincere, and deeply personal.

One of my favorite parts of their story is how much they love food. Their vows were inspired by their late-night snacks and their shared love for boba, which made everything feel even more personal and fun. Food is love, and you could feel that in every part of their day. 🤤

After the ceremony, on the following Monday, the celebration continued at Julep Venue in San Diego, where the energy shifted into a joyful and lively reception. There was laughter, bubbles, boba drinks, and so many moments that brought everyone together. It was the perfect balance of an intimate ceremony and a vibrant party.

As a San Diego documentary wedding photographer, these are the stories that matter most. Authentic connection, genuine emotion, and moments that unfold naturally. This is what makes documentary wedding photography in San Diego so powerful because it preserves the feeling of the day, not just how it looked.

Ana and Jan Eric met at work in San Diego and built a love that feels easy, balanced, and full of laughter. She’s the organized one. He’s the adventurous one. Together, they make life ridiculously fun. 💚

When we first started planning their wedding a couple of years ago, all we really knew was the “when” and the “where.” Their ceremony would take place in a beautiful church, and the reception would transform Ana’s parents’ backyard in Jamul, California, into an unforgettable celebration. At the time, we thought maybe around 200 guests, five hours of photo and video coverage, and we would be set.

Fast forward to their wedding day, and their guest list had exploded to over 420 amazing people, with a waitlist to match 😱. Our team of six captured every single moment over 11 hours. From the heartfelt church ceremony at Mater Dei Catholic Church to Ana's parents’ backyard reception in Jamul, it was a day full of energy, laughter, and intimate moments that made documentary wedding photography and videography shine. It preserves the moments exactly as they happened and shows the true spirit of the couple and their families.
