Allison & Cody’s Colorful San Diego Wedding at The Heights Golf Club
 

“Hey Allison, is a red dress too much? ”

“No, red is perfect.

It was my first time photographing a wedding in a bright red dress, but it matched the entire vibe of their day. Allison and Cody asked guests to wear something bold and colorful, and they meant it. The wedding was full of hot pinks, bright reds, and color everywhere you looked.

Allison is just like the palette she chose - passionate, outspoken, and full of fire. Cody is her perfect balance and brings total golden retriever energy. He is warm, gentle, and makes people feel instantly at ease.

I love how life brings people together at the right time. Neither of them was looking for a serious relationship when they met at a friend’s party, but their connection was undeniable, and they just never stopped hanging out. 💗

Since then, they’ve grown so much together. From studying human development and law to graduating and passing the bar, they’ve built something real and grounded.

Their San Diego wedding at The Heights Golf Club reflected exactly who they are. It was vibrant, fearless, and full of heart. This is the type of documentary wedding photography I love the most.

Jada and Jared’s Los Angeles Wedding – All the Feels and All the Fun ❤️

Jada and Jared are the kind of couple that makes you believe in soulmates… but with a twist of tequila and a whole lot of jokes. 😂

These two first met at a college party. Jared walked up and said, “Hi, I’m Jared. Want to take a shot?” And honestly? That line changed everything. From strangers to soulmates - over years of laughs, travel, and building a life together - they finally made it official with the people who mean the most.

Their wedding in Los Angeles was a reflection of who they are: real, funny, tender, and totally in sync. They chose a simple ceremony that focused on connection and family, not trends or pressure. That’s what made it so powerful.

Jada looked absolutely stunning in a timeless white dress, while Jared brought all the charm (and then some!) in his sleek suit. But the best part? How they looked at each other. You could feel the love in every glance, every quiet moment, and every tight hug.

The day was filled with unforgettable moments - from a sweet first look to heartfelt vows, emotional toasts, and one wild dance floor. There were belly laughs, happy tears, and that kind of joy you can’t fake. Their love felt loud, in the best way.

We stayed until the end of Jada and Jared’s wedding at The Alexandria Ballrooms - and caught every last tear, hug, and wild dance move.

Tanya & Jacob’s Wedding at Los Willows Wedding Estate in Fallbrook: A Day Full of Love and Happy Tears
 
 

As a photographer, I get to witness a lot of love, but some weddings stay with you forever. Tanya and Jacob’s was one of those.

One especially moving part of the day was the presence of Jacob’s mom, who is currently battling stage 4 cancer. Her strength, grace, and love made everything feel even more meaningful.

Tanya and Jacob are two incredibly kind, quiet souls who met at work back in 2017. These two love the simple joys - nights at home watching TV, trying new foods, sipping boba, and playing board games like Catan. Their dog, Joseph, is a huge part of their life! He’s three now, full of personality, and absolutely adored.

And duh, Joseph was the ring bearer! He walked down the aisle like a total pro, tail wagging the whole way, as if he knew exactly how special this day was.

Jacob teared up multiple times throughout the day, and those emotions spoke louder than words ever could. Tanya stood by his side, calm and loving, holding space for every one of those feelings. It was such a beautiful thing to witness.

Jacob proposed in September 2023 after dinner at Seneca in San Diego. He waited until they were outside in a quiet spot; he knew Tanya didn’t like too much attention. It was simple, thoughtful, and so them.

This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a powerful reminder of what truly matters: love, family, and showing up for one another through it all.

I’m so grateful I got to be there to witness it. 💕

And just for fun, here are some photos of them when Joseph turned 3 earlier this year.
